Information

 

Since dashboards and reports use the same unified template format - MRT, methods for loading the template and working with data, the word “report” will be used in the documentation text.

 

 

 

Two methods of the StiReport object are used to load a report – loadFile() and load(). They are used as follows:

loadFile(filePath) – loads a report from the MRT file which path is specified in the filePath;

load(str) – loads a report from the string str, that contains XML or JSON;

load(data) – loads a report from the array data of the number[] type;

load(xml) – loads a report from the XML of the XMLDocument type;

load(json) – loads a report from the JS object.

 

For example, use the code below to load a report from file:

 

index.html

...

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

report.loadFile("SimpleList.mrt");

...

 

 

The MRT format of Stimulsoft Reports is the JSON based description of reports. You can use MRT files, created in other Stimulsoft Reports designers in the JSON based description. Use the code below to save a report to a string:

 

index.html

...

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

var jsonString = report.saveToJsonString();

...

 

 

Use the code below to load a report from this string:

 

index.html

...

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

report.load(jsonString);
