Hi Team, Good day.

In this Post i want to clarify that Can i send the data like given below to the jsreport starter kit which is used for lambda based configurations REFERENCE LINK: https://jsreport.net/learn/aws-lambda-serverless

Sample JSON request:

{
    "renderRequest": {
        "template": {
            "content":`
\n' +
'<html lang="en">\n' +
'\n' +
'<head>\n' +
'  <meta charset="UTF-8">\n' +
'  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">\n' +
'  <title>My Website</title>\n' +
'\n' +
'</head>\n' +
'\n' +
'<body>\n' +
'\n' + // Added an empty line before your content area

'  <header>\n' +
'    <h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>\n' +
'  </header>\n' +
'\n' +

'  <main>\n' +
'    <h2>Example Table</h2>\n' +
'    <table>\n' +
'      <tr>\n' +
'        <th>Name</th>\n' +
'        <th>Age</th>\n' +
'        <th>City</th>\n' +
'      </tr>\n' +
'      <tr>\n' +
'        <td>John Doe</td>\n' +
'        <td>30</td>\n' +
'        <td>New York</td>\n' +
'      </tr>\n' +
'      <tr>\n' +
'        <td>Jane Smith</td>\n' +
'        <td>25</td>\n' +
'        <td>London</td>\n' +
'      </tr>\n' +
'    </table>\n' +
'  </main>\n' +
'\n' +

'  <footer>\n' +
'    <p>&copy; 2024 My Website</p>\n' +
'  </footer>\n' +
'\n' +  
'</body>\n' +
'\n' +
'</html>\n'
`
`;
,
            "engine": "handlebars",
            "recipe": "chrome-pdf",
            "chrome": {
                "format": "A4",
                "orientation": "portrait",
                "fittopage": true,
                "margin": {
                    "top": "30px",
                    "left": "20px",
                    "right": "20px",
                    "bottom": "10px"
                }
            },
            "helpers": " function myFunction (x){return x}"
        }
    }
}

In lambda actual jsreport npm packages not working. So i tried this way to implement the actual jsreport functionality in lambda based.

I will send the Request like given above. Kindly confirm whether this is right approach or not. Kindly guide me to get this done.

Thanks in advance

I configured this in Lambda function and i got the Functional URL aswell.
I need to use this service by calling this form Node Project.

Consider i have my templates and data and rest of the parameters.

How can i call this In my nodeJs and being served by lambda.

Here is the code in node invoking the lambda
https://github.com/jsreport/jsreport-aws-lambda-starter-kit/blob/master/test.js

I'm not sure I understand you fully, but you can of course render a template fully specified in the request as you do. It is the same as calling jsreport API.

Hi Admin,

Thanks for your reply.
I followed the same. templates with helpers, content, engine, recipe, chrome are fine. For my template i need to pass the set of data as Json , How can i send the data to that function .
below is the code implementation

const requestBody=event.renderRequest
const resp = await jsreport.render(requestBody);

in requestBody will contain below data

{
template: {
content: "Hey Buddy this is called from the backend you know",
engine: "handlebars",
recipe: "chrome-pdf",
chrome: {
format: "A4",
orientation: "portrait",
fittopage: true,
margin: {
top: "30px",
left: "20px",
right: "20px",
bottom: "10px",
},
},
helpers: "function myFunction (x){return x}",
}
datas:[{temp1:"temp1Data"},{temp2:"temp2Data"}]}
}

Because these datas needs to be bind with my template.

Kindly check above and guide me to close this .

Thanks.

admin

Its same as the API call
https://jsreport.net/learn/api

   {
      "template": { ... },
      "data" : { ... },    
   }
