This page explains how you can embed the ActiveReports WebDesigner component in your Angular application. To run the Angular Application Server, you will require the node.js JavaScript runtime and Angular CLI. Use the following command in the terminal or command prompt to install the Angular CLI:
npm install -g @angular/cli
Open Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 and create a new Angular and ASP.NET Core project.
Type a name for your project and click Next.
Select the Framework to a latest version and uncheck other options.
Right-click the '.Server' project in the Solution Explorer and select Manage NuGet Packages.
Add the following packages to the project.
MESCIUS.ActiveReports.Aspnetcore.Designer
MESCIUS.ActiveReports.Aspnetcore.Viewer
Create 'resources' folder in your sample project root; you can put your existing reports, themes, and images in this folder.
Make sure to set the Build Action property of the resources to 'Embedded Resource'.
Open 'Program.cs' file and update the file to include the 'using' statements at the top, and specify the resource folder and add services to container, so that the complete file looks like below.
using GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Aspnetcore.Designer;
using GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Aspnetcore.Viewer;
using GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Web.Designer;
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
// Add services to the container.
builder.Services.AddControllers();
builder.Services.AddReportViewer();
builder.Services.AddReportDesigner();
var app = builder.Build();
app.UseDefaultFiles();
app.UseStaticFiles();
// Configure the HTTP request pipeline.
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseAuthorization();
var ResourcesRootDirectory =
new DirectoryInfo(Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "resources"));
app.UseReportDesigner(config => config.UseFileStore(ResourcesRootDirectory, null, FileStoreOptions.NestedFoldersLookup));
app.MapControllers();
app.MapFallbackToFile("/index.html");
app.Run();
In the '.client' project, open 'package.json' file and add the following packages under 'dependencies':
"@mescius/activereportsnet-designer": "^18.x.x",
"@mescius/activereportsnet-viewer": "^18.x.x"
Open the '.client' project in the command prompt or terminal window and run the following command to install the npm packages.
npm install
The designer and viewer files/folders will be downloaded in your current directory: .\node_modules\@mescius\activereportsnet-designer\dist and .\node_modules\@mescius\activereportsnet-viewer\dist.
Expand the 'src\app' folder in the '.client' project, open 'app.component.ts' file, and replace the existing code with the following code to initialize the Designer instance.
javascript import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http'; import { Component, OnInit, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core'; import { arWebDesigner } from '@mescius/activereportsnet-designer'; import { JSViewer, createViewer } from '@mescius/activereportsnet-viewer'; import '@mescius/activereportsnet-designer/dist/web-designer.css'; import '@mescius/activereportsnet-viewer/dist/jsViewer.min.css'; @Component({ selector: 'app-root', templateUrl: './app.component.html', styleUrl: './app.component.css', }) export class AppComponent implements OnInit { forecasts: any; private viewer: JSViewer | null = null; constructor(private http: HttpClient) { } ngOnInit() { arWebDesigner.create('#ar-web-designer', { rpx: { enabled: true }, appBar: { openButton: { visible: true } }, data: { dataSets: { visible: true, canModify: true }, dataSources: { canModify: true } }, preview: { openViewer: (options: any) => { if (this.viewer) { this.viewer.openReport(options.documentInfo.id); return; } this.viewer = createViewer({ element: '#' + options.element, reportService: { url: 'api/reporting', }, reportID: options.documentInfo.id }); } } }); } ngOnDestroy() { this.viewer?.destroy(); arWebDesigner.destroy('#ar-web-designer'); } title = 'webdesigner_angular.client'; }
