Create a chart from scratch

This guide will show you how you can create a chart in a team that does not have any content

Creating a chart is a multi-step process since a chart depends on a few items to work.

Using Quick-create routes

1. Create a Connection to authenticate with your data source - /team/:team_id/connection
2. Create a Dataset with quick-create to fetch and format the data from the data soucer - /team/:team_id/datasets/quick-create
3. Create a Chart with quick-create to create the chart with all its chart dataset configs in one go - /project/:project_id/chart/quick-create

Using individual routes

1. Create a Connection to authenticate with your data source - /team/:team_id/connection
2. Create a Dataset that we will use to format the data from the data source - /team/:team_id/dataset
3. Create a DataRequest to fetch the data from the data source. We need to connect this to the dataset we created before using the dataset_id field - /team/:team_id/dataset/:dataset_id/dataRequest
4. Create a Dashboard where we will place the chart - /project
5. Create a Chart and connect it to the dashboard we created before using the project_id field - /project/:project_id/chart
6. Create a ChartDatasetConfig and connect it to the relevant dataset and chart through the dataset_id and chart_id fields - /project/:project_id/chart/:chart_id/chart-dataset-config
