The viewer can be built entirely in client JavaScript, with PHP acting only as the request handler for data and events.

Process requests in PHP. A StiHandler handles the viewer's server-side callbacks:
$handler = new StiHandler();
$handler->process();
Build the viewer in JavaScript. Create it, route its data event through the handler, and load a report:
let options = new Stimulsoft.Viewer.StiViewerOptions();
options.appearance.fullScreenMode = true;

let viewer = new Stimulsoft.Viewer.StiViewer(options, "StiViewer", false);
viewer.onBeginProcessData = (args, callback) => Stimulsoft.handler.process(args, callback);

let report = new Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport();
report.loadFile("../reports/SimpleList.mrt");
viewer.report = report;

viewer.renderHtml("viewerContent");

How it works. The report renders in the browser; PHP is contacted only when the viewer needs data, keeping the server role minimal.
