Dashboard layout and configuration change event about highcharts

[karolkolodziej]

Hi @liorheber!

Thank you for contacting us!

1. We do have resize and update events for components that you can listen to see in the API.
   Wouldn't it be sufficient for this use case?

2. When it comes to updating the components on the change this sounds like a good idea! Do you think the confirm button should be obsolete now? Or it should be required to save the changes otherwise clicking on the cancel or outside of the popup will not change the component.

Hi,
Thank you for the response.

1. I think it's doable with the events on the components, that's a great idea!
   The main downsides are that the resize event will spam my callback and not be called only onMouseUp, and drag and drop will also send multiple calls. I think they can all be mitigated with some debounce but it would have been nice to have a callback on the dashboard level that will execute only when the dashboard has settled the layout.

2. In the case that a component reacts to their configuration changes immediately I think the confirm button is un-needed. But there would need to be an event that tells the app that the configuration has changed so that it can be persisted somewhere later.

Thanks again for looking into this!

1. We can think of adding an event like resizeByUser that will be triggered only when the component size is changed in the edit mode.
2. Thank you for the input!
