powerbi-client-angular v3.0.5

powerbi-client-angular

Power BI Angular component. This library lets you embed Power BI reports, dashboards, tiles, report visuals, Q&As and paginated reports in your Angular application.

Quick Start

Import

Import the 'PowerBIEmbedModule' inside your target module:

import { PowerBIEmbedModule } from 'powerbi-client-angular';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    ...
    ...
    PowerBIEmbedModule
  ],
  exports: ...,
  declarations: ...
})

Embed a Power BI report

<powerbi-report
    [embedConfig] = {{
        type: "report",
        id: "<Report Id>",
        embedUrl: "<Embed Url>",
        accessToken: "<Access Token>",
        tokenType: models.TokenType.Embed,
        settings: {
            panes: {
                filters: {
                    expanded: false,
                    visible: false
                }
            },
            background: models.BackgroundType.Transparent,
        }
    }}

    [cssClassName] = { "reportClass" }

    [phasedEmbedding] = { false }

    [eventHandlers] = {
        new Map([
            ['loaded', () => console.log('Report loaded');],
            ['rendered', () => console.log('Report rendered');],
            ['error', (event) => console.log(event.detail);]
        ])
    }
>
</powerbi-report>

How to bootstrap a PowerBI report:

<powerbi-report
    [embedConfig] = {{
        type: "report",
        id: undefined,
        embedUrl: undefined,
        accessToken: undefined, // Keep as empty string, null or undefined
        tokenType: models.TokenType.Embed,
        hostname: "https://app.powerbi.com"
    }}
>
</powerbi-report>

Note: To embed the report after bootstrapping, update the embedConfig (with at least accessToken and embedUrl).

Embedding other Power BI artifacts

The library is offering the following components that can be used to embed various Power BI artifacts.

You can embed other artifacts such as:

<powerbi-dashboard 
    [embedConfig] = "<IDashboardEmbedConfiguration>"
    [cssClassName] = "<className>"
    [eventHandlers] = "<Map of String and eventHandler>"
>
</powerbi-dashboard>

Demo

This demo includes an Angular application that embeds a sample report using the PowerBIReportEmbed component. It demonstrates the complete flow from bootstrapping the report, to embedding and updating the embedded report. It also demonstrates using the powerbi report authoring library, by enabling the user to delete a visual from a report using the "Delete Visual" button. It also sets a 'DataSelected' event.

npm run demo

Usage

Note: Supported browsers are Edge, Chrome, and Firefox.

Properties accepted by Components

Supported Events

Events supported by various Power BI entities:

Event Handler to be used with Map

type EventHandler = (event?: service.ICustomEvent<any>, embeddedEntity?: Embed) => void | null;

Using supported SDK methods for Power BI artifacts

Import

Import the 'PowerBIReportEmbedComponent' inside your targeted component file:

import { PowerBIReportEmbedComponent } from 'powerbi-client-angular';

Initialize inside the Component

@ViewChild(PowerBIReportEmbedComponent) reportObj!: PowerBIReportEmbedComponent;

Use

You can use reportObj to call supported SDK APIs.

There are two ways in which reportObj can be used:

• Expose the Report object globally.

  Steps:

  1. Create one class variable, for example, report.

  2. Implement the AfterViewInit hook for the component class.

      class AppComponent implements AfterViewInit { ... }

  3. Define the ngAfterViewInit method as follows:

      ngAfterViewInit(): void {
          this.report = this.reportObj.getReport();
      }

  4. this.report points to the Report object from the library and can be used to call SDK methods such as, getVisuals, getBookmarks etc.

     async getReportPages(): Page[] {
         // this.report is a class variable, initialized in step 3
         const pages = await this.report.getPages();
         console.log(pages);
     }

• Use reportObj inside a class method.

  This approach will not expose the Report object globally, instead reportObj would be available locally in the function.

  Example:

  async getReportPages(): Page[] {
      const report = this.reportObj.getReport();
      const visuals = await report.getPages();
      console.log(visuals);
  }

Note

The library supports Angular applications having version >= 13.
