Base API Reference

This API will only be available on pages that have the included the “JsAPI/v3” JS file into their page. See example:

<script src="https://pathToYourYellowfinServer/JsAPI/v3"></script>

This API will not be available in Dashboard Code Mode. 


The Base API contains a number of functions to assist with loading the Yellowfin APIs in your own web page. There are functions to load the report and dashboard loader APIs which will allow you to load Dashboard and Reports.

There is also a function to assist with session management. 

init()

Returns

Promise

Description

Initialises the Base API. This is called when the API is included into a page. Returns a promise to indicate when this has finished loading, any usage of the API should wait until this promise has resolved.

Example 

Include the Yellowfin Report API on the page and then load a report after the init() promise has resolved:

<script src="https://pathToYourYellowfinServer/JsAPI/v3"></script>
<div id="reportDiv"></div>
<script>
yellowfin.init().then(() => {
          //The Yellowfin base API has now loaded. Now load a report
          yellowfin.loadReport({
                    reportId: 'c83357db-8aef-4ec7-ab72-fce34de9ee77',
                    element: document.querySelector('div#reportDiv'),
           });

});
</script>

logoff()

Returns

Nothing

Description

Ends the current user session.



loadReport(reportOptions)

Returns

Promise

Description

Waits for the init() promise to load and then loads a report with the passed options. Once the report has been loaded it will be appended to the passed element and the report will begin to run. 

When the promise is resolved a Report object will be passed to the .then() functions. The promise will be resolved just before the report starts running. 


There are a number of options that will be accepted as part of the options object:

reportId (required)

Type: String

ReportUUID of the report we wish to load. This is the PublishUUID on the ReportHeader table.

element (required)

Type: DOM Element, Selector String

Element that you wish to render the report into. Can either be a DOM element or a selector that will be used to select the element from the page.

If no width or height is passed the report will expand to the dimensions of the element.

width

Type: Number

Width to render the report in pixels.

height

Type: Number

Height to render the report in pixels.

filterValues

Type: Array[Object]

Array of Objects that will be used to apply the initial filter values. 

See the FiltersAPI to understand the filter values.

The objects should contain the following information:

  • filterId - UUID or Name of the filter you wish to set.
  • valueOne - The first value of the filter.
  • valueTwo - The second value of the filter, only has an affect on Between and Not Between filter types.
  • valueList - Array of values to apply to a list filter.

[{ //Set a between filter
         filterId: '1c1e0878-3bd6-402b-bad8-98202e6b8fb1',
         valueOne: 15,
         valueTwo: 35
}]


instanceName

Type: String

Identifier for this instance of the report. If this property is not defined, a random id will be generated. This means that if you include the same report multiple times without defining an instance name, it will always be a separate instance of that report. 

If you do set this, it allows you to load multiple views of the same instance of the report.

//Load the report into two different elements
yellowfin.loadReport({
         reportId:'9617ada1-28bc-42ef-9c3f-8b40d3d1ae61',
         element: document.querySelector('div#firstReport'),
         instanceName: 'firstReport'
});

yellowfin.loadReport({
         reportId:'9617ada1-28bc-42ef-9c3f-8b40d3d1ae61',
         element: document.querySelector('div#secondReport'),
         instanceName: 'firstReport'
});


showToolbar

Type: Boolean

Determines whether or not to show the reports toolbar. 

//Load the report with showToolbar not defined
yellowfin.loadReport({
         reportId:'9617ada1-28bc-42ef-9c3f-8b40d3d1ae61',
         element: document.querySelector('div#reportDiv');
});
//Load the report with showToolbar set to true
yellowfin.loadReport({
         reportId: '9617ada1-28bc-42ef-9c3f-8b40d3d1ae61',
         element: document.querySelector('div#reportDiv'),
         showToolbar: true
});


Or set the showToolbar property to false:

//Load the report with showToolbar set to false
yellowfin.loadReport({
    reportId: '9617ada1-28bc-42ef-9c3f-8b40d3d1ae61',
    element: document.querySelector('div#reportDiv'),
    showToolbar: false
});


showTitle

Type: Boolean

Determines whether or not to show the report title in the report’s toolbar. Default: true.

If the showTitle option is set to false:

//Load the report with showTitle option set to false
yellowfin.loadReport({

         element: document.querySelector('div#reportDiv'),
         showTitle: false
});

//Load the report with showInfo option set to false
yellowfin.loadReport({
         reportId: '9617ada1-28bc-42ef-9c3f-8b40d3d1ae61',
         element: document.querySelector('div#reportDiv'),
         showInfo: false
});


showFilter

Type: Boolean

Determines whether or not to show the filters option in the reports toolbar. Default is true.

yellowfin.loadReport({
         reportId: '9617ada1-28bc-42ef-9c3f-8b40d3d1ae61',
         element: document.querySelector('div#reportDiv'),
         showFilter: false
});

 

showExport

Type: Boolean

Determine whether or not the export option will be displayed in the report toolbar. Export options allow a report to be exported to an external file format such as csv, xls, pdf, txt and doc.

With the showExport parameter set to false, the export icon in the toolbar will be removed:

//Load the report with showExport option set to false
yellowfin.loadReport({
         reportId: '9617ada1-28bc-42ef-9c3f-8b40d3d1ae61',
         element: document.querySelector('div#reportDiv'),
         showExport: false
});


showShare

Type: Boolean

Determines whether or not to show the share option in the reports toolbar. Default is true.

//Load the report with showShare option set to false
yellowfin.loadReport({
         reportId: '9617ada1-28bc-42ef-9c3f-8b40d3d1ae61',

         showShare: false
});

         element: document.querySelector('div#reportDiv'),
         showReportDisplayToggle: false
});


Example

Load the report and then print its name:

yellowfin.loadReport({
          reportId: aReportId,
         element: elementToRenderTo
}).then(report => {

          //Some code to execute when the report has loaded

          console.log(report.name + ‘ has finished loading’);
});


Interactions

The interactions object enables you to define which interactions should be available on a particular visualization of a report. This lets you tell the Yellowfin renderer which functionality you want the user to be able to use within that visualization.

If there are multiple elements representing the same report and you wish to disable an interaction, you must disable it on all the elements you are displaying. For example, if you disabled drill down on the first element and then did not on the second, the user would still be able to drill down on the second element.

By default, any interaction that is not explicitly set to false is treated as enabled and will display if the report allows it. 

drillDown

Allows drill down functionality to be disabled.

drillAnywhere

Allows drill anywhere functionality to be disabled.

drillThrough

Allows drill through functionality to be disabled.

unitSelection

Allows unit selection functionality to be disabled.

brushing

Allows brushing functionality to be disabled.

timeSlider

Allows the timeSlider functionality to be disabled.

drillBreadcrumbs

Allows drill breadcrumb functionality to be disabled

seriesSelection

Allows seriesSelection functionality to be disabled

annotations

Allows annotations to be disabled.

Example

To disable all user interactivity on the report when using loadReport:

yellowfin.loadReport({

     reportId: ‘a report id’,

     interactions: {

            drillDown: false,

drillAnywhere: false,

drillThrough: false,

unitSelection: false,

brushing: false,

timeSlider: false,

drillBreadcrumbs: false,

seriesSelection: false,

annotations: false

     },

     element: document.querySelector(‘#reportElement’)

}).
