How to generate report with client application, webApi and jsreport embedded server.



  • I was trying to render jsreport on client application with embed.js reference from "../jsreport.axd?url=/extension/embedding/public/js/embed.js". I was getting all the data for report generation from webapi service, but when it starts rendering the response data it says template not defined. Any help appreciated.

    hi! can you paste here the data that you are getting from your webapi service and the payload that you are passing to jsreport? maybe there is a wrong value somewhere.



  • The following is the response getting from WebApi. (Yesterday i had a typo mistake. It alerts "Failed to get a Template" not template not defined. Sorry for the inconvenience). My client application has only html & JavaScript pages. and may i know what is the payload? I am calling the render method as follows

    jsreport.render($("#placeholder"), data); // Here "data" is the following response. Please have a look. Thanks in advance.

    payload = the data that you are sending to jsreport

    you're passing your data in a wrong format to jsreport, the correct format is like the following (options inside the template key):

    {
      "template": {
         "content": "<html>\n <head>\t\n <meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n </head>\n <body>\n <style>\n .clip {\n -webkit-background-clip: padding-box;\n
