This part describes an example of using Stimulsoft components in Vue applications.

 

 
Create a Vue project
In the terminal navigate to the directory where you want to place the new project. Then, run the following command.

 

terminal

 

npm create vue@latest my-app

 

 

 

The application settings can be left as default or modified if necessary.

 

 

Install Stimulsoft components

First, you need to download the Stimulsoft package. If you need reporting tools, you should download the Stimulsoft Reports.JS package. If you need reporting tools and dashboards, you should download the Stimulsoft Dashboards.JS package. For this, run the following command.
 

terminal

 

npm install stimulsoft-dashboards-js

 

 

 

Integrate Stimulsoft into the application
To do this, edit the App.vue file in the project's src folder. First, import the Stimulsoft module and the onMounted() method. You can also modify the template and styles blocks here. Pass a callback function with the initialization of Stimulsoft components into the onMounted() method. For example, the report designer will open with a blank report.

 

App.vue

<script setup lang="ts">

import { onMounted } from "vue";

import { Stimulsoft } from "stimulsoft-dashboards-js/Scripts/stimulsoft.designer.js";

 

onMounted(() => {

let designer = new Stimulsoft.Designer.StiDesigner(false, "StiDesigner", false);

let report = new Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport();

 

designer.report = report;

designer.renderHtml("content");

});

</script>

 

<template>

<div id="app">

<div>

<h2 id="app-title">Stimulsoft Vue JS</h2>

<div id="content"></div>

</div>

</div>

</template>

 

<style>

#app {

font-family: Avenir, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;

-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;

color: #2c3e50;

margin-top: 60px;

}

 

#app-title {

text-align: center;

}

</style>

 

 

 

Alternatively, open the viewer with a previously created report. The report files should be copied beforehand into the reports folder in the ./public directory of the project.

 

App.vue

...

<script setup lang="ts">

import { onMounted } from "vue";

import { Stimulsoft } from "stimulsoft-dashboards-js/Scripts/stimulsoft.viewer.js";

 

onMounted(() => {

let viewer = new Stimulsoft.Viewer.StiViewer(false, "StiViewer", false);

let report = new Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport();

report.loadFile("reports/SimpleList.mrt");

 

viewer.report = report;

viewer.renderHtml("content");

});

</script>

...

 

 

First Start
By default, a Vue application defines the start command in the package.json file. Therefore, to run the project, simply execute the command from the terminal in the project's root folder.

 

console

 

npm run dev
