This example illustrates how to use Stimulsoft Reports.JS in conjunction with the Express framework.
Installation and running Use npm to install requred modules:
$ npm install
Run Sample:
$ npm start
Step by step server.js Configure Express Server:
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const port = 3000;
Set up a route to serve the Stimulsoft Reports.js viewer and designer page:
app.get('/viewer', (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(__dirname + '/viewer.html');
});
app.get('/designer', (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(__dirname + '/designer.html');
});
```
Set up a route to serve the necessary Stimulsoft Reports.JS scripts:
```javascript
app.get('/stimulsoft.reports.js', (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(__dirname + "/node_modules/stimulsoft-reports-js/Scripts/stimulsoft.reports.js");
});
app.get('/stimulsoft.viewer.js', (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(__dirname + "/node_modules/stimulsoft-reports-js/Scripts/stimulsoft.viewer.js");
});
app.get('/stimulsoft.designer.js', (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(__dirname + "/node_modules/stimulsoft-reports-js/Scripts/stimulsoft.designer.js");
});
```
In your Express route handler, load the report definition:
```javascript
app.get('/report', (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(__dirname + '/SampleReport.mrt');
});
Start the server by adding the following code at the end of the file:
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Server running on port ${port}`);
});
Step by step Viewer page Add the following code to the HTML file to include the required Stimulsoft Reports.js libraries and initialize the viewer:
<script src="/stimulsoft.reports.js"></script>
<script src="/stimulsoft.viewer.js"></script>
Add the following code to the HTML file to script tag:
Set full screen mode for the viewer:
var options = new Stimulsoft.Viewer.StiViewerOptions();
options.appearance.fullScreenMode = true;
Create the report viewer with specified options:
var viewer = new Stimulsoft.Viewer.StiViewer(options, "StiViewer", false);
Render Viewer:
viewer.renderHtml("viewer");
Create a new report instance:
var report = new Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport();
Load report from url:
report.loadFile('/report');
Show report template in the viewer:
viewer.report = report;
Step by step Designer page Add the following code to the HTML file to include the required Stimulsoft Reports.js libraries and initialize the designer:
<script src="/stimulsoft.reports.js"></script>
<script src="/stimulsoft.viewer.js"></script>
<script src="/stimulsoft.designer.js"></script>
Add the following code to the HTML file to script tag:
Set full screen mode for the designer:
var options = new Stimulsoft.Designer.StiDesignerOptions();
options.appearance.fullScreenMode = true;
Create the report viewer with specified options:
var designer = new Stimulsoft.Designer.StiDesigner(options, 'StiDesigner', false);
Render Designer:
designer.renderHtml("designer");
Create a new report instance:
var report = new Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport();
Load report from url:
report.loadFile('/report');
Edit report template in the designer:
designer.report = report;
