Did you end up finding the map examples?


Yes, at the very bottom


Fair point - was just listing out the tools used in this viz library! The leaflet examples are at the bottom of that page.

What would you suggest as a better title?


It would be better to link to the main page, https://evidence.dev/, which is titled "Evidence - Business intelligence as code".

The current link would be better titled what it is, using the project name and the page title: "Evidence - All components".


Thank you - I can’t seem to change it now, but good to know for next time. Appreciate the feedback!


This is great - I used to use R all the time when I worked in finance and wish I had this resource back then!

R and RMarkdown were big inspirations for what we're building at evidence.dev now, so very grateful to everyone involved in the R community


Examples from this fairly custom implementation: https://docs.evidence.dev/components/all-components/


We use echarts at https://evidence.dev and have been quite happy with it. We do a lot of embedded analytics and it's worked well for us.


Great article and big fan of this approach.

I'm one of the maintainers of Evidence (open source tool based on markdown + SQL) and working on a similar approach to creating presentation tables configurable in code.

Some examples here for any SQL + table enthusiasts: https://docs.evidence.dev/components/data-table


I'm one of the founders of Evidence (https://evidence.dev) - would be great to hear about your experience. Reaching out now!


You might be interested in Evidence, a SQL-based open source BI tool where all content is version-controllable. Disclaimer: I’m one of the maintainers. A lot of companies use Evidence for customer facing and embedded reporting.

We use ECharts in our open source BI tool (Evidence) and it's a great library. Has helped us build a declarative syntax for viz which can be version controlled (https://evidence.dev)

Looks great!

Reminds me Obsidian DataView but with charts https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview

This whole ideas to have data, visualisations and knowledge base in one private offline place is very appealing


We're fans of Obsidian! DataView looks cool - love the ability to define the tables in code inline in the markdown. That's similar to how we inline DuckDB WASM SQL queries in markdown: https://docs.evidence.dev/core-concepts/queries/


I love Obsidian.

The Markdown <-> Markup typing experience is just so good compared to e.g. Slack, Reddit and other markdown-esque tools


Evidence looks cool, and I evaluated sometime back. The docs says the pages are all pre-rendered for all possible combinations. Is that the case still? If so, if I have a date filter, is it going to pre-render all possible dates?


We recently changed our architecture to include interactivity without having to pre-render all combinations. Pages are still pre-rendered with their initial content, but each Evidence app now ships with filter components and an in-browser DuckDB instance so you can build interactive apps. We call this Universal SQL - if you're interested, we wrote up our rationale for doing this here: https://evidence.dev/blog/why-we-built-usql/

Here's an example project with some filter components and custom styling: https://ecommerce.evidence.app/

This is still a static app - the data warehouse was only hit during the app's build process


I found this difficult as well, so I ended up making this Google sheet to compare: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1belBpTKOPGaCC230l0ns...
