Stock Quote & Chart Dashing Widget

README.md

Description

Stock Quote & Chart Dashing Dashboard consists of two widgets. While one displays a stock's current quote and other details; another displays its last 30-days closing stock prices.

Preview

Dependencies

json

Add the gem to your dashing gemfile:

gem 'json'

and run bundle install.

Usage

First, copy stock.coffee, stock.html, and stock.sass into the /widgets/stock directory and chart.coffee, chart.html, and chart.sass into the /widgets/chart directory. Put the yahoo_stock_quote.rb and yahoo_stock_quote.rb files in the /jobs folder.

To use the widget, put the following codes into one of the /dashboards directory's .erb file:

<li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1">
  <div data-id="yahoo_stock_quote" data-view="Stock" data-prefix="$"></div>
</li>  

<li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="3" data-sizey="1">
  <div data-id="yahoo_stock_chart" data-view="Chart" data-prefix="$"></div>
</li>	

Settings

There are two jobs running for this dashboard, which are yahoo_stock_quote.rb and yahoo_stock_chart.rb. yahoo_stock_quote.rb selects data from yahoo.finance.quotes table, and yahoo_stock_chart.rb retrieves data from yahoo.finance.historicaldata table. You can change to another stock with the following line within the jobs.

symbol = "YHOO"

  end
  
end

for a while now the stock quote is giving 6 decimal places e.g. $50.679999

Is yahoo doing something different or how can I trim this to two places?

Hey just got a question, at the readme it say to copy a .sass file but when clonning I only got a .scss file, is there something to be done here?

I followed the instructions from the readme.md. The tiles are not displaying. I placed some debug print statements in the .rb files and confirmed that the code is able to pull the quote information from the yahoo API. I even tried placing a style="background-color: #ff0000" on the div tag for the tiles, but nothing is displaying. I have worked quite a bit with dashing.io in the last six months. I could not figure out why these tiles aren't displaying. Any suggestions?

@adityai - Are the tiles not displaying on the dashboard itself? Meaning, you've added the HTML above into your dashboard's .erb file but they are not showing up? Or are the tiles there but the data isn't presenting?

@aleza84 - It seems like it was just a typo.

@howardsternisbatman - The query from Yahoo returns 6 decimal places, but what you can do is edit line 26 in yahoo_stock_chart.rb to include .round(2) after .to_f. In other words, you'll want:

point << { x: i, y: q["Close"].to_f}

...to be:

point << { x: i, y: q["Close"].to_f.round(2)}.

Another thing I noticed is that the points array in line 29 of yahoo_stock_chart.rb doesn't work correctly with the .reverse method. What that is trying to achieve is take the objects (or points) that are pushed to form that array and reverse the order so the graph/widget shows the current share price instead of the one that is 30 days old. Since the .reverse method doesn't work as intended, the workaround that I think actually ends up being a little cleaner is modifying the YQL query in line 12 of yahoo_stock_chart.rb to:

"select * from yahoo.finance.historicaldata where symbol='#{symbol}' and startDate='#{startdate}' and endDate='#{enddate}' | reverse()&format=json&env=http://datatables.org/alltables.env&callback="

Note the | reverse() function. This returns the dates in reverse order (day 30 is first rather than the current day) and pipes as we need it to into the points array, displaying the graph is we need it to. If you do add this, you'll want to remove the .reverse method from line 29 in yahoo_stock_chart.rb.

@markmnich Thank you for your help. I had to make a slight adjust for it to work for me. :)

points << { x: i, y: q["Close"].to_f.round(2)}

Does anyone have this working currently, it seems like the API may have changed? I would like to use this but cannot get data to display and just get an Undefined message. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

it's worse than that...it's dead Jim. Yahoo killed the API that this widget used.
