Which jquery draggable/resizable dashboard template to use -

background

i'm making front end interface display log data. have table shows raw data plenty of operations, calendar similar heat-map , bar chart displaying aggregated data chosen attribute, time period , granularity (using d3). data size rather huge actions done @ back-end (literally, filter/sort etc. ajax call server side). there should more graphs come, in similar fashion.

goal

what i'm trying have dashboard using jquery graphs , stats later. have briefly skimmed through following options:

• gridlist
• dashing

• gridly (can't insert 2+ links because of reputation...)

• sdashboard ^

• gridster (according gridlist it's no longer in development , uncertain reliability?)

the problem can't tell significant difference between of them or 1 fits better, , have limited front-end experience (i looked , learned js function definition syntax couple days ago). below list of functionalities achieve ideally:

1. each widget behaves normal dom object, or if there no widgets. still able manipulate table , graphs within widget, sending ajax calls 1 another.
2. able add widgets custom settings different graphs, ideally user-defined relationship between widgets(i'm thinking assigning ids). instance there 4 widgets: 2 tables , 2 graphs, , graph changes accordingly whenever click on table a, , graph b upon operations on table b. (this sounds tricky, doable?)

[optional ones]

1. change entire board preset layout 1 click
2. option display widget in full-screen modal pop-up window fashion better manipulation

those can think of far. wondering if has done similar, , pros/cons/limitations each/any of mentioned options? suggestion appreciated :)

why build yourself? use elk instead (elastica, log stash, kibana).

it built , need -- unless you're logging database. if are, may god have mercy on soul (and poor dbms).

here tutorial digitalocean instructions set up: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-4-on-ubuntu-14-04

anyway...

disclaimer - contribute dashing project , heavily biased.

answers list:

1. all elements on html page "normal dom objects" can manipulated , don't understand how relates ajax whatsoever. can run ajax requests web page, long request made same domain or domain has cors header (otherwise run xss issues)
2. dashing doesn't support widgets interacting other widgets out of box, still code up. sounds complicated , advise against it.
3. in dashing, have more 1 dashboard , link each of them different layouts. each dashboard has it's own erb template renders different html based on http route requested.
4. modern browsers support fullscreen api, used make widget go fullscreen.
