Add charts to dashboards

[arieselinger]

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to add charts to dashboard using the client. I manage to tweak json_metadata in order to change the dashboard layout but I am not able to associate any existing chart. I feel like the added value of the superset client would be to be able to create a complete dashboard from scratch in python. I am also a bit confused by the charts attribute: dashboard.charts returns a list of chart names (string), dashboard.get_charts returns a list of Ids (This is the list I would like to be able to update). Do you have any insight on this? Is any of this related to the following comment?

superset-api-client/supersetapiclient/base.py

Lines 175 to 191 in 26a583a

	# Need to find a solution
	#
	# Due to the design of the superset API,
	# get /chart/_info only returns 'slice_name'
	# for chart adds to work,
	# we require the additional attributes:
	# 'datasource_id',
	# 'datasource_type'
	if self.__class__.__name__ == 'Charts':
	self.add_columns = [
	'datasource_id',
	'datasource_type',
	'slice_name',
	'params',
	'viz_type',
	'description'
	]

Thank you.

Hello @arieselinger. I think the most recent version of Superset includes /dashboard/{id}/charts that could easily be used and integrated to the library. That would be a nice addition.

Let keep that issue open and see how to integrate that soon.

I found out how to do this in #38 which also adds fixes to make it work. See

superset-api-client/tests/integration/test_basic.py

Line 424 in 534a1e4

# Test connected charts

for an example.
