var Stimulsoft = require('stimulsoft-reports-js');
var report = new Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport();
report.loadFile("SimpleList.mrt");
var dataSet = new Stimulsoft.System.Data.DataSet("Demo");
dataSet.readJsonFile("Demo.json");
report.dictionary.databases.clear();
report.regData("Demo", "Demo", dataSet);
report.renderAsync(function () {
console.log("Pages count: ", report.renderedPages.count);
report.saveDocumentFile("SimpleList.mdc");
});StiReport API used in the browser works under Node.js after require('stimulsoft-reports-js'). A DataSet reads the JSON, regData registers it, and the rendered document is saved to an .mdc file.
