Ports the Authors widget from the Jetpack Stats module into the Premium Analytics dashboard, backed by the Jetpack Stats API.

data package: adds a stats-fetch API client that goes through the stats-admin proxy (/jetpack/v4/stats-app/sites/{blog_id}/stats/{resource}), plus statsQuery/statsTopAuthorsQuery query builders and useStatsTopAuthors/useStatsBlogId hooks. The blog ID is resolved once from /jetpack/v4/connection/data and cached for the page lifetime; queries use skipToken while the blog ID or report date is unresolved.
widgets-toolkit: adds AuthorsWidget (leaderboard chart of top authors by views with comparison support) and a buildTopAuthorsData helper, with loading/refetching overlays and empty/error states.
premium-analytics plugin: registers the jpa/authors dashboard widget (render entry, widget.json, widget.ts with a configurable max attribute). The render entry defaults to an all-time report range until the host can pass the site launch date.
query client provider: adds a withDevtools prop so per-widget providers don't each render React Query devtools.
widget-dashboard: insets picker previews with padding instead of scaling, so preview content clears the selection checkbox.

Does this pull request change what data or activity we track or use?

No.

Testing instructions

Set up a Jetpack-connected site with the Premium Analytics plugin active.
Go to the Premium Analytics dashboard and open the widget picker.
Verify the picker previews are inset with padding and the content clears the selection checkbox.
Add the Authors widget.
Verify it renders a leaderboard of top authors by views, sourced from Jetpack Stats (check the network tab for requests to /jetpack/v4/stats-app/sites/{blog_id}/stats/top-authors).
Change the Maximum authors attribute and verify the list respects the limit.
On a site with no traffic, verify the empty state copy renders instead of the chart.

Private, source-consumed copy of @wordpress/grid until core publishes it.

Private, source-consumed copy of @wordpress/widget-primitives until core publishes it.

Private, source-consumed dashboard engine; depends on jetpack-widget-primitives and jetpack-grid.

Renders the WidgetDashboard engine via wp-build, bundling the grid/primitives/dashboard packages.

useWidgetTypes drives discovery via /wp/v2/widget-modules; hello-world builds as a lazy-loaded script module.

Hook the page boot-dependencies filter so widget modules reach the import map; move the endpoint to the jetpack/v4 namespace.

@wordpress/grid and widget-primitives references in widget-dashboard JSDoc/comments/README, per the faithful-source sync policy.

Add spacing around the widget previews in the widget picker

 * Constants for API endpoints
 */
 export const reportsPath = '/wc/v3/woocommerce-analytics/proxy/reports';
+export const statsAppPath = '/jetpack/v4/stats-app';


Temporarily using existing stats endpoint from Jetpack, this can be switched to the proxy endpoint from Premium Analytics once merged

+		summary: {
+			authors: authors.length,
+			views: authors.reduce( ( total, author ) => total + author.views, 0 ),
+		},
+		data: authors,
+	};


Stats endpoint is converting data to be consumed by the widgets. Question: Should this be handled by the backend or here?

Nikschavan · 2026-06-12T02:20:00Z

+ * TODO: Remove the default range once we have a way to pass the launched date to the widget.

+const getDefaultReportParams = () => ( {

Temporary hardcoded long date range to view the data in the widget, until we have date range picker in the dashboard
