SAS Visual Analytics SDK
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
can then be loaded with either a script
tag or with an ES module import.
npm install @sassoftware/va-report-components
When using a script
tag, the contents of the va-report-components/dist
folder must be deployed with your page.
cp -r ./node_modules/@sassoftware/va-report-components ./sdk-assets
The library can then be loaded out of the deployed assets folder.
<script async src="./sdk-assets/dist/umd/va-report-components.js"></script>
If your site is built using a code bundler, it might be more convenient to load the library through ES module imports. See the ES module imports guide for more details.
import "@sassoftware/va-report-components"
CDN (Content Delivery Network)
Accessing the va-report-components
library from the SAS Developer CDN is easy. It does not require installation or
hosting of the library code and assets. Here is an example of loading the latest version of va-report-components
from the CDN using an HTML script
tag.
<script async src="https://cdn.developer.sas.com/packages/va-report-components/latest/dist/umd/va-report-components.js"></script>
When the library is used in production, consider pinning it to an explicit version. This is done with a URL like https://cdn.developer.sas.com/packages/va-report-components/${VERSION}/dist/umd/va-report-components.js
, where ${VERSION}
is the full major.minor.patch
semantic version.
