No widget examples and Widget Bundle integration example

[skewty]

Please add an examples/ folder with some sample widget projects and perhaps add a script that bundles the example widgets into a "Widget Bundle" that can be easily uploaded / injected into a ThingsBoard server.

PS: Perhaps the examples would be best created in another repo that references the types in this one.

HI @skewty,
Thank you for being so interested in the platform. We already have a separate repository showing examples of writing custom widgets

Thanks for the info to the other repo. Unfortunately that repo seems outdated / poorly supported as well.
Reference issue thingsboard/thingsboard-extensions#48.

Is there anywhere interested developers can go to see / get a working environment + samples?

+1000 for this. It's a nightmare doing the basic js+html+css approach when you want to have a consistent look to your dashboard (eg use material components to assemble a widget). But, it's also very unclear how to actually begin developing a widget using angular.

IMO what they really should be doing is the Eat Your Own Dog Food approach to development.

They should be using these repos to develop and test their own code.
