  Thanks man. I've got a couple of weeks left on the demo license, but it's looking good. What I have left to try are: 1) calling the report from my client app and include parameters, 2) figuring out the scheduling module, 3) figuring out how to save any or all reports to the server for later viewing, and 4) send reports to users via email.

  If I can do all of that, then that's everything I need and we can move forward on licensing. Thanks for the help so far.

  How to get req.data in chrome-pdf headers/footers?

  you can avoid rendering for each page and preserving the "pageNumber" by using the "merge whole document" checkbox. here is an example of template with header and footer using that approach. maybe you can try that and you won't be rendering a template per page, but instead a single render for all header/footer in pages

  Never mind. It does work presently. I thought I had tried what I used in that other module, but I guess I had a typo before. So I looked it up again, and it's the page-break-inside: avoid; property. I'm now able to prevent splitting a DIV and its contents between pages. This was particularly ugly when it wasn't working because these particular DIVs have borders. I imagine it should work for other elements too.

  Hey! I am facing the same issue.
  I Tried using both html and html-with-browser-client recipe with browser-sdk script included in template but i still get the same error that js report is not defined.
  I am running a node application that generates a report using jsreport.render function and returns that report to the client where it gets binded inside a div.

  Awesome! That worked. I figured out how to make the calls in the #child, just how I need them.

  Tomorrow, I have two more REST API calls I need to incorporate into what you helped me with today. I think I now have the patterns so I can do them on my own. Thanks so much!

  Oh for Pete's sake! Typos!!!
  "E"
  I should have copy/pasted into my IDE. I'm sure it would have caught it

  haha that happens to everyone.

  I have moved where I had jsreport added to my index file so as to avoid my other middleware per your suggestion. That worked fine. I suppose I should try 2.5 again once I take a break - maybe after I finish this report.

  sure, i just wanted to show you that there should be no weird problems when integrating jsreport with express, just relax and when your report is ready you can give jsreport 2.5.0 another try.

  I also began incorporating your suggestion to use async/await and so far that looks good. I have a couple more things to check and then add in, but I think I understand it now. Again, I appreciate your help and patience.

  awesome, no problem! good luck with that!

  Thanks a lot I will try that in the future. I actually realized I can just use the native Chrome footer for this after reading https://forum.jsreport.net/topic/1116/jsreport-native-header-footer-issue (I wasn't seeing the footer because I didn't set the margin like the OP) so that solution is working for me, but I will check that out if I need a more advanced solution.

  It will really help me if someone will kindly post some sample code.

  Thanks

  Ah, okay I ran jsrpeport init again in an empty directory and I saw the start script does get created. Sorry about that, I must have screwed something up along the way.

  Love the product by the way keep up the good work!

  Do we have guidelines or articles about scaling the jsreport

  Yes, this is expected. With the default config, and 100 parallel requests, jsreport creates ~100 processes for rendering. Please try to add this config. It will limit the number of used worker processes.

  { "chrome": { "strategy": "chrome-pool", "numberOfWorkers": 5 }, "templatingEngines": { "strategy": "http-server", "numberOfWorkers": 5 } }

  https://jsreport.net/learn/configuration
  https://jsreport.net/learn/chrome-pdf#reuse-chrome-instances

  This should make your parallel test passing.
  If not, maybe you should consider putting a full webserver like nginx before the jsreport and configure there throtling and delayed requests execution during peak.

  Minimalist setup on jsReport, do you have samples?

  Im sure this is is a singleton. Only one instance of jsReport is running, i even put this on global object of nodejs to make sure i did the init once and just re-use the same instance of jsReport. It will be hard to scale up jsReport, with this 800 samples on 100 virtual users it dies.. I thought there is a separate process for running the renderer, it even have a poor thoughput, with 1 operation per minute!! Remember my machine is alienware, a gaming laptop with huge memory and cpu. So this operation and performance is very poor on my setup.. Not sure what is the problem

  Thank you for the suggestion.
  I've pushed the change to the master, it will be part of the next release.

  Until then, maybe just call GET http://localhost:5488. It returns login page but still 200 OK if the server is up.
