I sent you an email.

I figured it out.

var file = res.toDataURI();

That gives me the base64 encoded pdf in a string. So, once I put that in the variable I just did an ajax call in javascript where I then handle the rest in .php.

$f = str_replace('data:application/pdf;base64,', '', $f);
file_put_contents( EMAIL_ATTACHMENTS .$file, $f);
$fp = fopen(EMAIL_ATTACHMENTS . $file, 'wb');
fwrite($fp, base64_decode($f));
fclose($fp);

That saves the pdf to the attachments file where I temporarily store the file to attach to emails using sendgrid.

@jan_blaha Understood, that's disappointing. We're going to have to install our own jsreport instance then. I've avoided that option mainly because I'm concerned of the time it will take for my team to get it installed and setup correctly in our AWS EC2 environment. I see you offer support plans. As part of that, would your team be available to do the installation for us for a cost? Once it's up and running, we would take it from there. I'm just looking to fast track the installation and configuration process. Either that, or if you could provide the configuration settings / installation recipes / etc.. that mirror the online environment. In reality, it's not the creation of the server or installation of the software that concerns me... it's setting it up / configuring it so behaves like your SaaS version does. Please advise.

Yes, and thank you!

I am new to jsreport and don't see much documentation for setting up and using jsreport for anything not being developed using the jsreport studio. I have installed, initialized, and configured jsreport on my server (NOT local). I see the server.js file and the corresponding configuration files and I have read seemingly every bit of documentation that I think pertains to my issue.

i'm a bit confused, when you say don't see much documentation for setting up and using jsreport for anything not being developed using the jsreport studio makes me think that you want to create your template files manually, or basically send the whole template content in the request. is that right? if that is true i don't understand what was the problem when you tried it locally, in what part you got stuck? you should be able to use the http api normally if you don't want the studio, there you can specify the whole template if you want in the http body, the docs include some code examples about how to prepare your http body for the request.

Ultimately I am simply trying to use jsreport in any one of my .js files to render reports through jsreport-browser-client-dist.
I am basically trying to get the following line of code to not give a "jsreport is not defined" error
"jsreport.serverUrl = 'https://xxxxxxx.jsreportonline.net/api/report';"
Additionally, since this will all occur in the browser I can't require('jsreport') without getting a "require is not defined" error.

now you are trying jsreportonline..
probably you got "require is not defined" because it depends how the web page that you are using for testing was defined. there are lot of ways to do web development but we provide a solution for those.

looks like your are trying to use require when your web page is not using any bundler like webpack or browserify, that is why you get require is not defined, also in case that some day you do use a bundler, then the right require call should be require('jsreport-browser-client-dist') that gives you the browser SDK.

i will assume that your page is just loading the jsreport-browser-client-dist in a script tag, with that in mind here is an example using it https://codesandbox.io/s/happy-raman-jgymq just make sure to fill these credentials when you try it in your page

var joUsername = ""; var joPassword = "";

Thank you! That was it I just had to add that path to $PATH
