Data Visualization Dashboard Project: Architecture, Configuration, and Code Overview

This article presents a step‑by‑step guide to building a real‑time data‑visualization dashboard using Echarts on the front end and Java on the back end, covering design mockups, requirement analysis, system architecture, development environment setup, code structure, and deployment instructions.

Data Visualization Dashboard Project: Architecture, Configuration, and Code Overview

1. Effect Diagram Display

1.1 Dynamic real‑time data effect diagram

Illustrates a live‑updating data screen that refreshes in real time, creating a visually striking dashboard.

1.2 Right‑click theme switching

Shows how users can switch visual themes via a right‑click context menu.

2. Requirement Specification

2.1 Screen resolution for deployment

The example uses a 16:9 aspect ratio with full‑screen (F11) display.

2.2 Deployment method

The solution is packaged as a portable executable that runs on Windows, Linux, or macOS without additional dependencies; the program can be launched directly on the server or accessed remotely through any modern browser (e.g., Chrome, 360 Browser).

3. Overall Architecture Design

Front end built with the open‑source Echarts library, developed in WebStorm.

Back end implemented in Java Web, developed in IntelliJ IDEA.

Data exchange format: JSON.

Data source: initially a local JSON file; can be extended with MyBatis to support PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, SQLite, or with POI for Excel, and can also consume HTTP APIs.

Data update mechanism: HTTP GET polling; alternatively, real‑time push from the back end can be used.

4. Development Configuration & Code Structure

4.1 Java development environment setup

Images illustrate the required JDK, IDE, and project configuration.

4.2 JSON library configuration

Uses Alibaba FastJSON; add the following dependency to pom.xml :

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.alibaba</groupId>
    <artifactId>fastjson</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.51</version>
</dependency>

4.3 Code structure explanation

a. Static resources

b. Java package layout

Image depicting the Java source folder hierarchy.

c. Port configuration

Image of the application.properties file where the server port is defined.

4.4 Startup command

Image displaying the command used to launch the application.

4.5 Browser access

Open a browser and navigate to http://localhost:<port> (the port is defined in application.properties ) to view the dashboard.

5. Source Code Acquisition

QR code image for adding the author on WeChat to obtain the source code for free.

5.1 Add WeChat via QR code

Instructions to scan the QR code and send a remark "源码" to receive the code.

5.2 Remark "源码" to get the code

After adding, the author will provide the source repository.
