jsreports-aws-s3-storage Report: control file name and directory

[djbrody]

Sorry Jan,

Is there a way to upload the file, have it named and spend say the date to the file name?

dailyblancerpt20210304.pdf

where do I put the option for a single report
options.reports.blobName

[jan_blaha]

You have two options

1. fully declare your desired blob name in the API request

{
   "template": {
     "content": "Hello",
     "recipe": "html",
     "engine": "none"    
   },
  "options": {  
    "reports": {
      "save": true,
      "blobName": "dailyblancerpt20210303"
    }
  }    
}

This means your client code will be responsible for specifying the blob name.

2. Implement custom jsreport script and add the logic for computing the blob name there
   https://jsreport.net/learn/scripts

function afterRender(req, res) {   
    if (res.meta.reportsOptions) {
        res.meta.reportsOptions.blobName = "myreport" + new Date().getTime()       
    }
}

Note the second option isn't yet documented and the naming can change there in future versions, but it will be still possible to implement such a script.

In the case of a CSV report

Created report

PunterId,PaymentID,UCTRegDate,PSTRegDate,Method_Type,Status,DepOrWD,Amount
{{for all_funding_trans}}
{{:PunterId}},{{:PaymentID}},{{:UCTRegDate}},{{:PSTRegDate}},{{:Method_Type}},{{:Status}},{{:DepOrWD}},{{:Amount}}
{{/for}}

Subscript of

function afterRender(req, res) {   
    if (res.meta.reportsOptions) {
        res.meta.reportsOptions.blobName = "csv_all_funding_trans" + new Date().getTime()       
    }
}

I do have PDF files that run on schedule go to a root s3 drive that is in the config file. So I know it is working.

I want these csv reports to go to subfolder S3Buket_Default/dailycsv/"filenameabove"

How can I get csv or xls files to runlike this?

[djbrody]

@jan_blaha Is there a script similar to the email scripts to send files to S3 on a schedule. I have not seen an example.

While the report scheduler saves to the default s3 bucket it would be a good enhancement to be able to select the save folder and provide the variable to filename-date in the Scheduler and that would resolve the issue, I think.

I believe you can just use the slashes to store in s3 folders

function afterRender(req, res) {   
    if (res.meta.reportsOptions) {
        res.meta.reportsOptions.blobName = "/dailycsv/csv_all_funding_trans" + new Date().getTime()       
    }
}

I'm not sure I understand the problem. You can use the same script as posted above.

@jan_blaha

this is the report with the recommended script.

When you run the report, it does not post the file in the S3

However, when you run the report on the scheduler you get
it puts the file with its own name at the s3 root

I hope the clears up the question.

[jan_blaha]

I see you put the function afterRender code in the template's helpers section.
It should be inside the extra script entity and script associated with the template.
Please go through the documentation here

@jan_blaha Thanks for the help so far.

Still battling S3 storage.

this calls the data and this file store script

function afterRender(req, res) {   
    if (res.meta.reportsOptions) {
        res.meta.reportsOptions.blobName = '/optimove/csv_all_funding_trans.csv' + new Date().getTime()       

    }
  }

[jan_blaha]

This is a request from the studio, which doesn't persist a report.
Please try to render through API call, using some kind of postman for example.
And include options for report persisting

"template": { "name": "..." },
"options": {  
    "reports": {
      "save": true    
    }
  }   

[djbrody]

@jan_blaha I thought I would be clever and add this to the email script

Error while executing user script. Unexpected token ':'
evaluate-user-script.js:7
  "template": { "name": csv_all_funding_trans}
            ^

the script looks like this

const axios = require('axios')

async  function beforeRender(req, res)  {
  const resData =  await axios.get('http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts')
  console.log(resData.data)
  req.data.posts = resData.data
  "template": { "name": csv_all_funding_trans}
  "options": {  
    "reports": {
      "save": true
      "blobName": "/optimove/csv_all_funding_trans.csv"    
    }
  } 
}
