This example illustrates loading of the dashboard that uses json database from some web-server and accessible only by suppliing custom HTTP header. That dashboard is rendered and result is stored to the pdf-file.

Installation and running
Use npm to install requred modules: 
$ npm install
Run Sample: 
$ npm start

Step by step
Stimulsoft Dashboards.JS module loading: 
var Stimulsoft = require('stimulsoft-dashboards-js');
Creating new dashboard: 
var report = Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport.createNewDashboard();
Add onBeginProcessData event handler and set necessary headers: 
report.onBeginProcessData = function (args) {
    if (
        args.database === "JSON" && 
        args.command === "GetData" && 
        args.pathData && args.pathData.endsWith("/ProtectedDemo.json")
    ) {
        // Add custom header to pass through server protection
        args.headers.push({key: "X-Auth-Token", value: "*YOUR TOKEN*"});
    }
};
Loading sample report template: 
report.loadFile("DBSsimp.mrt");
Export to PDF: 
report.exportDocumentAsync((pdfData) => {
    // Converting Array into buffer
    var buffer = Buffer.from(pdfData);

    // File System module
    var fs = require('fs');

    // Saving string with rendered dashboard in PDF into a file
    fs.writeFileSync('./Dashboard.pdf', buffer);
}, Stimulsoft.Report.StiExportFormat.Pdf);
