DSPLAY for Developers

Most of what DSPLAY shows on a screen is rendered by an HTML template: images, clocks, news, weather, social posts, lottery results, menu boards. Only video, audio, websites and YouTube play natively. A template is just a web page, so you control how it looks, and you can use, change or build any of them.

A media (its type and data), a template (HTML, CSS, JS) and the variables set in the CMS go to the player, which renders them on the screen

What do you want to do?

Create a template from scratch

Use React, jQuery, vanilla JavaScript or any framework that outputs HTML and JavaScript. A template is a folder with an index.html, zipped.
