How It Works

Evidence is an open-source, code-based alternative to drag-and-drop business intelligence tools.

how-it-works

Evidence generates a website from markdown files:

  • SQL statements inside markdown files run queries against your data sources
  • Charts and components are rendered using these query results
  • Templated pages generate many pages from a single markdown template
  • Loops and If / Else statements allow control of what is displayed to users

Install

  1. Download the Evidence VSCode Extension
  2. Open the Command Palette (F1) and enter Evidence: New Evidence Project
  3. Click the Start Evidence button in the bottom status bar

See docs for other install options (CLI, Docker, etc)

Publish

  • Self-hosted options include Netlify, Vercel, your own infra, and other static site hosting platforms.
