Create an Analytics widget for Azure DevOps
Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2020 | Azure DevOps Server 2019
You can build your own Analytics widget to display in a dashboard in Azure DevOps. The example widget on github demonstrates:
- How to render trend lines associated with work item states
- How to query a dataset, whe a user will configure through the widget configuration view
- How to build and publish the widget to the Azure DevOps marketplace
With this information, you'll be able to create your own Analytics widget.

Note
The Analytics service is automatically enabled for all Azure DevOps Services. It is supported for use in production. Power BI integration and access to the OData feed of the Analytics Service are in Preview. We encourage you to use it and provide us feedback.
Note
The Analytics service is automatically installed on all new project collections for Azure DevOps Server 2020. It is supported for use in production.

Prerequisites
This example provides a ready-made widget, covering basics from topics in Dashboards, Charting, and Analytics. The following documents provide more grounding on details demonstrated in this example:
- Create an Azure DevOps Widget Extension, reference the Widget extensions sample
- Render an Azure DevOps Chart Control, reference Add a Chart
- Query OData from Analytics
Provide a configuration view
- Run simple analytics queries required by UI controls used for configuring a view.
- Manage state of configuration UI, with updates based on user actions, and with new data from Analytics queries.
- Render configuration UI using Typescript and React.
Render data within a Widget
- Run a user configured query as a POST Request
- Interpret data from analytics to render a chart
Next steps
To avoid excess complexity in the sample, we omitted certain technologies and practices, which a production widget should certainly include. The ui-fabric-react sample on github highlights a build process that exercises these details.
- JavaScript bundling and content minification - The set of small, loose script files in the sample can load much more quickly when combined into a single file, and minified.
- Fabric UI Controls - Fabric UI controls provide a rich set of configuration UI components for React.
