Lumen dashboards are a powerful, declarative way to write data-driven applications and dashboards. However Lumen components also provide a powerful abstraction that can be leveraged independently of a full dashboard YAML specification. Specifically the `Pipeline` component offers an extremely powerful basis for building data transformations that can either be used to power analysis pipelines or to drive visual components we can render in a notebook or a custom Panel dashboard. In this section we will discover how to leverage pipelines in this way.
First however we need to understand how Pipelines work, specifically the order in which operations are applied. In particular we need to distinguish between operations that are applied by the `Source` and operations that are applied to **data** returned by the `Source`. This is because various `Source` types support data queries and in the case of SQL based `Source` may also support arbitrary SQL transforms. This means that the `Pipeline` will first call the `Source.get` method with state of the `Filter` and `SQLTransform` components allowing the `Source` to optimize the filter queries and transforms and return the data, once the data is returned as a `DataFrame` the declared `Transform` stages will be applied in sequence.

-# Dashboard Specification
-
-The Lumen dashboard can be configured using a `dashboard.yml` file. The core design principle behind the yaml specification is that it instantiates instances of the four main types, i.e. [Filter](lumen.filters.Filter), [Source](lumen.sources.Source), [Transform](lumen.transforms.Transform) and [View](lumen.views.View) objects.
-
-For example the `type` declaration of a `Source` is matched against`source_type` and all the other keywords are passed as arguments to the class, instantiating the object with the provided configuration.
-
-## Sections
-
-We will start by breaking down the specification into individual sections.
-
-### `config`
-
-The `config` section provides general settings which apply to the whole dashboard.
-
-```yaml
-config:
- title: The title of the overall application
- layout: The layout to arrange the (sub-)layouts in ('grid', 'tabs', 'column')
- logo: A URL or local path to an image file
- sync_with_url: Whether to sync app state with URL
- template: The template to use for the monitoring application
- ncols: The number of columns to use in the grid of cards
-```
-
-A simple example `config` might look like this:
-
-```yaml
-config:
- title: "Example Application"
- layout: grid
- logo: example.png
- ncols: 3
-```
-
-### `defaults`
-
-The `defaults` section allows overriding parameter defaults on the [Filter](lumen.filters.Filter), [Source](lumen.sources.Source), [Transform](lumen.transforms.Transform) and [View](lumen.views.View) objects.
-
-```yaml
-defaults:
- filters:
- - type: Type to override the default on
- ...: Parameter to override
- sources:
- - type: Type to override the default on
- ...: Parameter to override
- transforms:
- - type: Type to override the default on
- ...: Parameter to override
- views:
- - type: Type to override the default on
- ...: Parameter to override
-```
-
-As an example we may want to override the default `WidgetFilter.multi` value, because we want to query with a specific value rather than multiple values:
-
-```yaml
-defaults:
- filters:
- - type: widget
- multi: false
-```
-
-### `variables`
-
-Variables are powerful components for declaring values that you want to use throughout your application by referencing throughout the YAML.
-
-
-```yaml
-variables:
- user:
- - type: url
- password:
- - type: env
- key: MY_PASSWORD_ENV_VAR
-```
-
-Once declared variables can be referenced through the rest of your dashboard specification by using the reference syntax (`$`) described below.
-
-### `sources`
-
-The `sources` section allows defining [Source](lumen.sources.Source) instances which can be referenced by the pipelines.
-
-```yaml
-sources:
- - type: The type of Source to instantiate
- ...: Additional parameters for the Source
-```
-
-As an example we may want to load a table of population data from a local CSV file using the [FileSource](lumen.sources.FileSource):
-
-```yaml
-sources:
- population:
- type: file
- files: [population.csv]
-```
-
-This will declare a `Source` called `population` which publishes a table called `population`.
-
-It is also possible to declare filters associated with a global `Source`.
-
-```yaml
-sources:
- population:
- type: file
- files: [population.csv]
-```
-
-### `pipelines`
-
-The `pipelines` section allows declaring reusable pipelines that encapsulate a [Source](lumen.sources.Source) along with any number of [Filter](lumen.filters.Filter) and [Transform](lumen.transforms.Transform) components. A pipeline can be declared in this global section or the definition can be inlined on each Layout or View.
-
-```yaml
-pipelines:
- population:
- source: population
- filters:
- - type: widget
- field: country
- transforms:
- - type: columns
- columns: [year, country, population]
-```
-
-### `layouts`
-
-The layouts section defines the actual visual representations on the page and therefore makes up the meat of the declaration.
-
-```yaml
-layouts: This is the list of visual layouts to render.
- - title: The title of the monitoring endpoint
- download:
- format: When specified adds a section to the sidebar allowing users to download the filtered dataset
- kwargs: Additional keyword arguments to pass to the pandas/dask to_ method
- tables: Allows declaring a subset of tables to download
- pipeline: The pipeline driving the views of this layout. Each View can independently declare a pipeline or all use the shared pipeline defined at the layout level
- views: A list of metrics to monitor and display on the endpoint
- - pipeline: The Pipeline driving the View
- type: The type of View to use for rendering the table
- ...: Additional parameters for the View
- layout: The layout inside the card(s), e.g. 'row', 'column' or 'grid'
- facet:
- by: List of fields to facet by
- sort: List of fields to sort by
- reverse: Whether to reverse the sort order
- refresh_rate: How frequently to poll for updates in milliseconds
- ...: Additional parameters passed to the Card layout(s), e.g. width or height
-```
-
-### `auth`
-
-The `auth` field may provide a dictionary of any number of fields which are validated against the user information provided the the Auth provider, which is made available by Panel in the `panel.state.user_info` dictionary. To discover how to configure an Auth provider with Panel/Lumen see the [Panel documentation](https://panel.holoviz.org/user_guide/Authentication.html).
-
-As an example the GitHub OAuth provider returns the login of the user that is visiting the dashboard. If we add the following field to the yaml:
-
-```yaml
-auth:
- login: [philippjfr]
-```
-
-Lumen will check the current user `login` against all user logins listed here. For a more generic Auth mechanism many Auth providers, such as Okta, make it possible to configure a list of groups a user belongs to in which case you could list the allowed groups in the auth field.
-
-## Special Syntax
-
-To avoid repeating yourself the yaml specification supports some special syntax.
-
-### References
-
-#### Source References
-
-In some scenarios you might want to refer to a `Source`, a table on a `Source` or a field on a table from elsewhere in the yaml specification.
-
-As an example you may have local CSV file which contains a column of URLs to monitor and feed that information to a `WebsiteSource` which reports whether those URLs are live. Using the `$` syntax we can easily establish such references.
-
-```yaml
-sources:
- csv:
- type: file
- files: [websites.csv]
- live:
- type: live
- urls: "$csv.websites.url"
-```
-
-The `$csv.websites.url` syntax will look up a `Source` called 'csv', request a table called 'websites' and then feed the 'url' column in that table to the `urls` parameter of the `WebsiteSource`.
-
-### Variable References
-
-Variables are powerful components that allow you to link settings across your entire application. Once a `Variable` has been declared in the `variables:` section of the specification you can reference it throughout your application using the `$variables.` syntax, e.g. you might have a `url` widget `Variable` that allows entering a URL using a `TextInput` widget:
-
-```yaml
-variables:
- url:
- type: widget
- kind: TextInput
- default: AAPL.csv
-```
-
-Once declared you can reference this variable using the `$variables.` syntax:
-
-```yaml
-sources:
- stock_data:
- type: file
- tables:
- ticker: $variables.url
-```
-
-Whenever the `url` variable is updated the `Source` will be refreshed and any views attached to that `Source` will be updated.
-
-### Templating
-
-In many cases you do not want to hardcode variables inside the yaml specification instead passing in variables from an environment variable, a shell command, a CLI argument, a HTTP request header or cookie, or a OAuth token variable. This can be achieved using the following templating syntax:
-
-- `{{env("USER")}}`: look in the set environment variables for the named variable
-
-- `{{shell("get_login thisuser -t")}}`: execute the command, and use the output as the value. The output will be trimmed of any trailing whitespace.
-
-- `{{cookie("USER")}}`: look in the HTTP request cookies of the served application
-
-- `{{header("USER")}}`: look in the HTTP request headers of the served application
-
-- `{{oauth("USER")}}`: look in the OAuth user token
-
-- `{{USER}}`: Arguments passed in using `--template-vars="{'USER': 'lumen_user'}"` when using `lumen serve` on the commandline.
-
-## Local components
-
-While Lumen ships with a wide range of components users may also define custom components in files which live alongside the `dashboard.yml` file. Specifically Lumen will automatically import `filters.py`, `sources.py`, `transforms.py` and `views.py` if these files exist alongside the dashboard specification.

-# REST Specification
-
-The REST specification defines the default format for data to be consumed by the dashboard. The API consists of three main endpoints providing access to the schema
-
-- `schema`: Publishes a schema for each variable and all its associated indexes, the schema should follow the [JSON schema](https://json-schema.org/) specification:
-
- - Query: A query may define the variable to return the schema for:
- `{'table':
}`
- - Output:
- ```
- {
- : {
- : {'description': string, 'schema': object, 'label': string},
- : {'description': string, 'schema': object, 'label': string},
- ...
- },
- ...
- }
- ```
-
-- `data`: This endpoints returns the actual data, it also allows filtering the data along the columns with query:
-
- - Query: A query must contain the table to be returned and may optionally provide a subset of columns and filters for the table columns:
- `{'table':
, 'columns': [, ...], : , ...}`
- - Output: It will always return a list of records containing all the metric and filter values:
- ```
- [
- {: , : , ...},
- {: , : , ...},
- ...
- ]
- ```
-
-- `dump`: Returns a complete dump of all data:
-
- - Query: None
- - Output:
- ```
