Stand Alone Live Charts Example

The purpose of this sample is to demonstrate the ability to use the rhqm-chart tag outside of a full blown angular application. It's an Angular tag so it will still require Angular but eliminating many of the dependencies of the application and getting it down to Angular and a couple libs and css dependencies is the goal. Placing the tag in a normal html web page and have it retrieve and update data is the objective. We are not there yet but here is the first pass.

1. cd rhqm-charts (here)
2. Optionally, edit stand-alone-chart-sample.html, if desired (add new metrics, change time range or refresh interval)
3. Launch http web server of your choice (example: 'python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000 .')
4. View page at: http://localhost:8000/stand-alone-chart-sample.html

Explanation: Examining the source code, there is an app and a controller required to render the angular directive. The StandAloneController is just a dummy controller required to render directives(tags). It doesn't really do anything just required for Angular directives. After that, the only thing that is needed for use is some rhqm-chart tags with relevant metric-id and metric-url attributes. So this will all be boiled down to several additional lines of code (< 5) to support angular tags in pages; with one angular tag for each chart.
