Want to create StackDriver dashboard from template

Question

Is it possible to create StackDriver dashboards programmatically from a declarative template (similar to how Google Cloud Deployment allows you to create and manage cloud resources)?

We use a different GCP project for each of our environments (master, staging, prod) and want to have StackDriver dashboards with the same metrics in each project.

I checked the StackDriver Monitoring API docs as well as the Cloud Deployment supported resources and did not find any evidence of support for this use case.

I'm a Product Manager with Stackdriver. There's not currently a public available dashboard API. Until that's available, one solution many of our customers use is to create a canonical dashboard template and then copy this each time a new one is needed, modifying the input data.
