Code Structure

All dashboard code lives in the dashboard/ subdirectory, with the endpoints for individual HTTP API handlers in that directory. There are a number of subprojects which are also hosted in that directory:

• api: Handlers for API endpoints.
• common: A module collecting various utilities and common types used across multiple subprojects in the performance dashboard.
• docs: A collection of documents for users of the dashboard, the API, and other subprojects.
• elements: User interface elements used in the performance dashboard web user interface. This is deprecated in favor of spa.
• models: A collection of types which represent entities in the data store, with associated business logic for operations. These models should be thought of as models in the Model-View-Controller conceptual framework.
• pinpoint: The performance regression bisection implementation. See more in the pinpoint documentation.
• services: A collection of wrappers which represent external services which the dashboard subprojects interact with.
• spa: The single-page-application implementation of the performance dashboard; contains all the views (HTML) and logic (JavaScript).
• static: Directory containing all the static assets used in the user interface. This is deprecated in favor of spa.
• templates: HTML files representing the templates for views served through the App Engine user interface. This is deprecated in favor of spa.

Ongoing Projects

There are a number of efforts ongoing with the Performance Dashboard:

• v2 of the Single Page Application (SPA) implementation, with the eventual deprecation/removal of the non-SPA user interface.
• Attempt to externalise sheriff configuration, from being managed through the UI to being managed through the individual projects.

Bugs can be reported on the Chromium issue tracker using the Speed>Dashboard component:

• File a new Dashboard issue
• List open Dashboard issues

Note that some existing issues can be found in the Github issue tracker, but this is no longer the preferred location for filing new issues.
