powerbi-client-angular
Power BI Angular component. This library enables you to embed Power BI reports, dashboards, dashboard tiles, report visuals, Q&A or paginated reports in your Angular application, and to create new Power BI reports directly in your 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>
<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.
| Component | Selector to use for embedding |
|---|
| PowerBIReportEmbedComponent | <powerbi-report> |
| PowerBIDashboardEmbedComponent | <powerbi-dashboard> |
| PowerBITileEmbedComponent | <powerbi-tile> |
| PowerBIVisualEmbedComponent | <powerbi-visual> |
| PowerBIQnaEmbedComponent | <powerbi-qna> |
| PowerBIPaginatedReportEmbedComponent | <powerbi-paginated-report> |
| PowerBICreateReportEmbedComponent | powerbi-create-report |
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 change the type of a report visual from a report using the "Change visual type" button.
It also sets a 'DataSelected' event.
To run the demo on localhost, run the following command:
npm run demo
Redirect to http://localhost:4200/ to view in the browser.
Usage
| Use case | Details |
|---|
| Embed Power BI | To embed your powerbi artifact, pass the component with at least type, embedUrl and accessToken in embedConfig property. |
| Apply style class | Pass the name(s) of style classes to be applied to the embed container div to the cssClassName property. |
| Set event handlers | Pass a map object of event name (string) and event handler (function) to the eventHandlers prop.
Key: Event name
Value: Event handler method to be triggered
Event handler method takes two optional parameters:
First parameter: Event
Second parameter: Reference to the embedded entity
List of supported events is given here: Additional events |
| Reset event handlers | To reset event handler for an event, set the event handler's value as null in the eventHandlers map of properties. |
| Bootstrap Power BI | To bootstrap your powerbi entity, pass the property embedConfig to the component without accessToken
Note: embedConfig should at least contain type of the powerbi entity being embedded.
Available types: "report", "dashboard", "tile", "visual" and "qna".
Refer to How to bootstrap a report section in Quick Start.
Note: A paginated report cannot be bootstrapped. |
| Using with PowerBI Report Authoring | 1. Install powerbi-report-authoring as an npm dependency.
2. Use the report authoring APIs using the embedded report's instance. |
| Phased embedding (Report type only) | Set the phasedEmbedding property value to true
Refer to the Phased embedding article. |
| Create report | To create a new report, pass the component with at least type, embedUrl and datasetId in embedConfig prop. |
Note: Supported browsers are Edge, Chrome, and Firefox.
Properties accepted by Components
| Property | Description | Supported by |
|---|
| embedConfig | Configuration for embedding the PowerBI entity (required) | All |
| phasedEmbedding | Phased embedding flag (optional) | Report |
| eventHandlers | Map of pair of event name and its handler method to be triggered on the event (optional) | Report, Dashboard, Tile, Visual, Qna |
| cssClassName | CSS class to be set on the embedding container (optional) | All |
| service | Provide the instance of PowerBI service (optional) | All |
Supported Events
Events supported by various Power BI entities:
| Entity | Event |
|---|
| Report | "buttonClicked", "commandTriggered", "dataHyperlinkClicked", "dataSelected", "loaded", "pageChanged", "rendered", "saveAsTriggered", "saved", "selectionChanged", "visualClicked", "visualRendered" |
| Dashboard | "loaded", "tileClicked" |
| Tile | "tileLoaded", "tileClicked" |
| QnA | "visualRendered" |
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:
- Create one class variable, for example,
report.
- Implement the
AfterViewInit hook for the component class.
class AppComponent implements AfterViewInit { ... }
- Define the
ngAfterViewInit method as follows:
ngAfterViewInit(): void {
this.report = this.reportObj.getReport();
}
- 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.
