angular-powerbi

Angular module which wraps PowerBI-JavaScript as service and adds a collection of components for each embedded type (Currently only Report is supported) which you can use to easily embed Power BI visuals within your Angular applications.

Contents

angular-powerbi.js includes the following:

• Service: PowerBiService

  (Handles messaging communication between host frame/window and embedded powerbi visual iframes/windows)

• Web Components

  1. Report Specific Component

     <powerbi-report embed-url="vm.report.embedUrl" access-token="vm.report.accessToken"></powerbi-report>

  2. Generic Component

     <powerbi-component component="vm.report"></powerbi-component>

Getting started

1. Install:

   npm install -save angular-powerbi

2. Include the angular-powerbi.js file within your app:

   <script src="angular-powerbi.js"></script>

3. Include the 'powerbi' module as a dependency of your app:

   app.module('app', [
   	'powerbi'
   ]);

4. Fetch data to embed a visual from the server (embedUrl and accessToken) and make it available on controller scope.

   This would likely require using a factory or service to fetch report data from your local server. Example where the report is resolved when entering route:

   Route: return ReportsService.findById('5dac7a4a-4452-46b3-99f6-a25915e0fe55');

   ReportsService:

   findById(id: string): ng.IPromise<PowerBi.IReport> {
   	return this.$http.get(`${this.baseUrl}/api/reports/${id}`)
   		.then(response => response.data);
   }

   If you need a sample server to test you can use the following:

   • Live example: http://powerbipaasapi.azurewebsites.net/
   • C# Sample Server: (COMING SOON)
   • Nodejs Sample Server: (COMING SOON)

5. Insert the component in your template where you want to embed the visual:

   <powerbi-report embed-url="vm.report.embedUrl" access-token="vm.report.accessToken" options="vm.reportOptions"></powerbi-report>
