README

SAS Visual Analytics SDK

Overview

The SAS Visual Analytics SDK is a set of JavaScript APIs and web components that enable SAS Visual Analytics report content to be easily embedded in a third-party application or web page. Entire reports or individual report objects can be embedded, and the content is fully interactive. This functionality is delivered as the va-report-components JavaScript library.

Prerequisites

Access to a deployment of SAS Visual Analytics 8.4 (or later) is necessary in order to use the SDK. For more information about server set up, see SAS Viya setup.

Installation

NPM

The @sassoftware/va-report-components library is published to NPM and can be installed by running the npm install command as shown below. va-report-components does not support ES6 imports. Therefore, the contents of the va-report-components/dist folder must be deployed with your page, and then loaded using a script tag.

# From the root directory of your project
npm install @sassoftware/va-report-components

# Copy the contents of the package to an asset folder for deployment
cp -r ./node_modules/@sassoftware/va-report-components ./sdk-assets

The library can then be loaded out of the deployed assets folder using a script tag.

<script async src="./sdk-assets/dist/umd/va-report-components.js"></script>

CDN (Content Delivery Network)

Accessing the va-report-components library from a CDN is easy. It does not require installation or hosting of the library code and assets. There are several public options for accessing NPM content through a CDN, such as UNPKG and jsDelivr. Here is an example of loading the 1.5.0 version of va-report-components from UNPKG using an HTML script tag. When used in production, the version should be pinned to the full major.minor.patch semantic version.

<script async src="https://unpkg.com/@sassoftware/va-report-components@1.5.0/dist/umd/va-report-components.js"></script>
