SAS Content SDK

Overview

The SAS Content SDK enables you to use the power of SAS Viya in your own websites and HTML applications. You can embed tiles representing content items with the <sas-content-area> custom HTML element.

Prerequisites

Access to a deployment of SAS Viya 4.0.1 (or later) is necessary in order to use the SDK. For more information about server set up, see SAS Viya setup.

Installation

The @sassoftware/content-sdk library is published to NPM and can be installed by running the npm install command as shown below. content-sdk does not support ES6 imports. Therefore, the contents of the content-sdk/dist folder must be deployed with your page, and then loaded using a script tag.

# From the root directory of your project
npm install @sassoftware/content-sdk

# Copy the contents of the package to an asset folder for deployment
cp -r ./node_modules/@sassoftware/content-sdk ./sdk-assets/content

The library can then be loaded out of the deployed assets folder using a script tag.

<script async src="./sdk-assets/content/dist/umd/content-sdk-components.js"></script>

CDN (Content Delivery Network)

Accessing the content-sdk library from a CDN is easy. It does not require installation or hosting of the library code and assets. There are several public options for accessing NPM content through a CDN, such as UNPKG and jsDelivr. Here is an example of loading the latest version of content-sdk from UNPKG using an HTML script tag. When used in production, the version should be pinned to the full major.minor.patch semantic version.

<script async src="https://unpkg.com/@sassoftware/content-sdk/dist/umd/content-sdk-components.js"></script>
