dac build

Build a self-contained static dashboard with baked-in query results. The output is a directory with an HTML file and assets that can be deployed anywhere — no server required.

dac build [flags]

Flags

Flag	Alias	Type	Default	Description

Examples

# Build the "Sales Analytics" dashboard
dac build --dashboard "Sales Analytics"

# Custom output directory and theme
dac build --dashboard "Sales Analytics" --output dist --template bruin-dark

# Build with specific filter values baked in
dac build --dashboard "Sales Analytics" --filters '{"region": "Europe", "date_range": "last_30_days"}'

Output

The build produces a self-contained directory:

build/
├── index.html
└── assets/
    ├── index-[hash].js
    └── index-[hash].css

The HTML file includes a window.__DAC_STATIC__ payload containing:

• The full dashboard definition
• Pre-computed query results for all widgets
• Theme tokens
• Filter defaults

Semantic widgets are compiled to SQL during the build, then the generated SQL results are baked into the static payload.

Open index.html in a browser — no server needed. Deploy to any static hosting (S3, Netlify, GitHub Pages, etc.).

Use Cases

• Scheduled reports: Build on a cron, upload to S3, share a link
• Offline viewing: Send dashboards to stakeholders who don't have database access
• Embedding: Include dashboard HTML in other applications
• Archival: Snapshot a dashboard's state at a point in time
