Disable jsreport web UI but still allow API requests with authentication

melher39

Is there a way to completely disable the jsreport web UI in its entirety, but still allow report requests with authentication?

I have the settings below applied which does disable both the login and studio UI but when I try making a report request from another node app, I get the error ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. My goal is to be able to make report requests with authentication but I do not need the web interface at all. I'm deploying this as a node app using jsreport 2.11.0 and I cannot upgrade this version.

  "extensions": {
    "authentication": {
      "cookieSession": {
        "secret": "..."
      },
      "admin": {
        "username": "username",
        "password": "pw"
      },
      "enabled": true
    },
    "scripts": {
      "strategy": "http-server"
    },
    "studio": {
      "enabled": false
    },
    "express": {
      "enabled": false
    }
  }

When I set express.enabled: true and studio.enabled: false, the requests work but I still have the login UI available, which I don't want (but I still want the requests with authentication). Not sure if this is possible or maybe I'm missing something, but I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

This is the right config,
express.enabled: true, studio.enabled: false
However, in v2 there is still login screen wired, you would need to update jsreport.

Or you can overwrite the route in your server.js file

const jsreport = require('jsreport')()

if (process.env.JSREPORT_CLI) {
  // export jsreport instance to make it possible to use jsreport-cli
  module.exports = jsreport
} else {
  jsreport.init().then(() => {
    reporter.on('after-express-static-configure', (app) => {    
      app.get('/', (req, res) => {
        res.status(404).send('Not Found')
      })
    })
    // running
  }).catch((e) => {
    // error during startup
    console.error(e.stack)
    process.exit(1)
  })
}
