Thank you for using the Amazon QuickSight JavaScript SDK. You can use this SDK to embed Amazon QuickSight in your HTML.
For more information and to learn how to use QuickSight Embedding, please visit QuickSight Developer Portal Website
Amazon QuickSight offers four different embedding experiences with options for user isolation with namespaces, and custom UI permissions.
ย
Do you use SDKs and APIs to manage QuickSight, and embed in a website or App?
Help us improve your experience by taking this <5-minute survey.
ย
ย
Option 1: Use the Amazon QuickSight Embedding SDK in the browser:
...
<script src="https://unpkg.com/amazon-quicksight-embedding-sdk@2.2.2/dist/quicksight-embedding-js-sdk.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
const onLoad = async () => {
const embeddingContext = await QuickSightEmbedding.createEmbeddingContext();
//...
};
</script>
...
<body onload="onLoad()">
...
Option 2: Install the Amazon QuickSight Embedding SDK in NodeJs:
npm install amazon-quicksight-embedding-sdk
and then use it in your code using require syntax
const QuickSightEmbedding = require("amazon-quicksight-embedding-sdk");
const embeddingContext = await QuickSightEmbedding.createEmbeddingContext();
or, using named import syntax:
import { createEmbeddingContext } from 'amazon-quicksight-embedding-sdk';
const embeddingContext = await createEmbeddingContext();
or, using wildcard import syntax:
import * as QuickSightEmbedding from 'amazon-quicksight-embedding-sdk';
const embeddingContext = await QuickSightEmbedding.createEmbeddingContext();
ย
ย
Use createEmbeddingContext method to create an embedding context. It returns a promise of EmbeddingContext type.
export type CreateEmbeddingContext = (frameOptions?: CreateEmbeddingContextFrameOptions) => Promise<EmbeddingContext>;
export type SimpleChangeEventHandler = (message: SimpleChangeEvent, metadata?: ExperienceFrameMetadata) => void;
export type CreateEmbeddingContextFrameOptions = {
onChange?: SimpleChangeEventHandler;
};
export type EmbeddingContext = {
embedDashboard: EmbedDashboard;
embedVisual: EmbedVisual;
embedQSearchBar: EmbedQSearch;
embedConsole: EmbedConsole;
};
You can create the embedding context by calling createEmbeddingContext method without any arguments
import { createEmbeddingContext } from 'amazon-quicksight-embedding-sdk';
const embeddingContext: EmbeddingContext = await createEmbeddingContext();
or, you can pass an object argument with onChange property
import { createEmbeddingContext } from 'amazon-quicksight-embedding-sdk';
const embeddingContext: EmbeddingContext = await createEmbeddingContext({
onChange: (changeEvent) => {
console.log('Context received a change', changeEvent);
},
});
The embedding context creates an additional zero-pixel iframe and appends it into the body element on the page to centralize communication between the SDK and the embedded QuickSight content.
ย
ย
An EmbeddingContext instance exposes 4 experience methods
These methods take 2 parameters:
ย
ย
import { createEmbeddingContext } from 'amazon-quicksight-embedding-sdk';
const embeddingContext = await createEmbeddingContext();
const {
embedDashboard,
embedVisual,
embedConsole,
embedQSearchBar,
} = embeddingContext;
const frameOptions = {
//...
};
const contentOptions = {
//...
};
// Embedding a dashboard experience
const embeddedDashboardExperience = await embedDashboard(frameOptions, contentOptions);
// Embedding a visual experience
const embeddedVisualExperience = await embedVisual(frameOptions, contentOptions);
// Embedding a console experience
const embeddedConsoleExperience = await embedConsole(frameOptions, contentOptions);
// Embedding a Q search bar experience
const embeddedQSearchExperience = await embedQSearchBar(frameOptions, contentOptions);
ย
frameOptions for All Embedding Experiencesย
This is the embed URL you have generated using the QuickSight API Operations for Embedding.
Follow Embedding with the QuickSight API in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide to generate the url.
For each experience, you need to make sure that the users are granted the necessary permissions to view the embedded experience.
This is the parent HTMLElement where we're going to embed QuickSight.
It can be an HTMLElement:
container: document.getElementById("experience-container")
Or, it can be a query selector string:
container: "#experience-container"
You can set width for the iframe that holds your embedded QuickSight experience. You can set it to be a fixed value:
width: "1000px"
Or, a relative value:
width: "60%"
To make your embedded QuickSight experience responsive, don't set it (leave them at the default: 100%). Then you can make the container HTMLElement responsive to screen size change.
You can set height for the iframe that holds your embedded QuickSight experience. You can set it to be a fixed value:
height: "700px"
Or, a relative value:
height: "80%"
To make your embedded QuickSight experience responsive, don't set it (leave them at the default: 100%). Then you can make the container HTMLElement responsive to screen size change.
You can customize style of the iframe that holds your embedded experience by one of the followings:
.quicksight-embedding-iframe {
margin: 5px;
}
className property:.your-own-class {
margin: 5px;
}
className: "your-own-class",
We've overridden the border and padding of the iframe to be 0px, because setting border and padding on the iframe might cause unexpected issues. If you have to set border and padding on the embedded QuickSight session, set it on the container div that contains the iframe.
It renders a simple spinner in the embedded experience container while the contents of the embedding experience iframe is being loaded.
This callback is invoked when there is a change in the SDK code status.
export type SimpleChangeEventHandler = (message: SimpleChangeEvent, metadata?: ExperienceFrameMetadata) => void;
export interface SimpleChangeEvent {
eventName: ChangeEventName;
eventLevel: ChangeEventLevel;
message?: string;
data?: any;
}
export type ExperienceFrameMetadata = {
frame: EmbeddingIFrameElement;
};

Use resizeHeightOnSizeChangedEvent to allow changing the iframe height when the height of the embedded content changed.
height: "300px",
resizeHeightOnSizeChangedEvent: true
When the resizeHeightOnSizeChangedEvent property is set to true, the value of the height property acts as a loading height.
Note: With the resizeHeightOnSizeChangedEvent set to true, modals generated by the dashboard can be hidden if the content is larger than the screen. An example of this type of modal is the one that displays when you select "Export to CSV" on a Table visual. To solve this issue, you can add the following code to autoscroll the focus to the modal.
const contentOptions = {
//...
onMessage: (messageEvent, metadata) => {
switch (messageEvent.eventName) {
case 'MODAL_OPENED': {
window.scrollTo({
top: 0 // iframe top position
});
break;

It allows you to set initial parameter values for your embedded QuickSight dashboard. Pass an array as value for multi-value parameters. For more information about parameters in Amazon QuickSight, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/parameters-in-quicksight.html
If sub-properties of the toolbarOptions are set to false, then the navrbar is hidden.
This can be used to show or hide export icon for dashboard embedding.
This can be used to show or hide the undo and redo buttons for dashboard embedding.
This can be used to show or hide the reset button for dashboard embedding.
This can be used to show or hide the bookmarks button for dashboard embedding.
The bookmarks feature is only available for the embedded dashboards of which embed URL is obtained using generateEmbedUrlForRegisteredUser which enables Bookmarks feature in the FeatureConfigurations property.
...
"ExperienceConfiguration": {
"Dashboard": {
"InitialDashboardId": "<YOUR_DASHBOARD_ID>",
"FeatureConfigurations": {
"Bookmarks": {
"Enabled": true
}
}
}
}
...
You can use this when you want to specify the initial sheet of the dashboard, instead of loading the first sheet of the embedded dashboard. You can provide the target sheet id of the dashboard as the value. In case the sheet id value is invalid, the first sheet of the dashboard will be loaded.
The singleSheet property can be used to enable or disable sheet tab controls in dashboard embedding.
You can use this in combination with resizeHeightOnSizeChangedEvent: true frame option, when you want the embedded dashboard height to auto resize based on sheet height, on every sheet change event.
We add 22 pixels of additional height at the bottom of the layout to provide dedicated space to the "Powered by QuickSight" footer.
You can set this property to true to overlay it with your content.
The eventNames the dashboard experience receive
CONTENT_LOADED: Received when the visuals of the Amazon QuickSight dashboard are fully loaded
ERROR_OCCURRED: Received when an error occurred while rendering the visuals of the Amazon QuickSight dashboard. The message contains `errorCode`. The error codes are:
- `Forbidden` -- the URL's authentication code expired
- `Unauthorized` -- the session obtained from the authentication code expired
If you follow the instructions to generate the correct URL, but you still receive these error codes, you need to generate a new URL.
PARAMETERS_CHANGED: Received when the parameters in Amazon QuickSight dashboard changes.
SELECTED_SHEET_CHANGED: Received when the selected sheet in Amazon QuickSight dashboard changes.
SIZE_CHANGED: Received when the size of the Amazon QuickSight dashboard changes.
MODAL_OPENED: Received when a modal opened in Amazon QuickSight dashboard.
ย
ย
Use this function to update parameter values. Pass an array as value for multi-value parameters. You can build your own UI to trigger this, so that viewers of the embedded QuickSight session can control it from your app page.
Parameters in an embedded experience session can be set by using the following call:
embeddedExperience.setParameters([
{
Name: 'country',
Values: ['United States'],
},
{
Name: 'states'
Values: ['California', 'Washington'],
}
]);
To reset a parameter so that it includes all values, you can pass the string ALL_VALUES.
embeddedExperience.setParameters([
{
Name: 'states'
Values: ['ALL_VALUES'],
}
]);
To navigate to a different dashboard, use dashboard.navigateToDashboard(options). The input parameter options should contain the dashboardId that you want to navigate to, and also the parameters for that dashboard, for example:
const dashboardId: "37a99f75-8230-4409-ac52-e45c652cc21e",
const options = {
parameters: [
{
Name: 'country',
Values: ['United States'],
}
]
};
embeddedDashboardExperience.navigateToDashboard(dashboardId, options);
If you want to navigate from one sheet to another programmatically, with the Amazon quicksight dashboard, use the below method:
embeddedDashboardExperience.setSelectedSheetId('<YOUR_SHEET_ID>');
If you want to get the current set of sheets, from Amazon QuickSight dashboard in ad-hoc manner, use the below method:
const sheets: Sheet[] = await embeddedDashboardExperience.getSheets();
If you want to get the current sheet id, from Amazon QuickSight dashboard in ad-hoc manner, use the below method:
const selectedSheetId: string = await embeddedDashboardExperience.getSelectedSheetId();
This feature allows you to initiate dashboard print, from parent website, without a navbar print icon, in the dashboard. To initiate a dashboard print from parent website, use dashboard.initiatePrint(), for example:
embeddedDashboardExperience.initiatePrint();
If you want to get the active parameter values, from Amazon QuickSight dashboard in ad-hoc manner, use the below method:
const parameters: Parameter[] = await embeddedDashboardExperience.getParameters();
If you want to unto the changes, use the below method:
embeddedDashboardExperience.undo();
If you want to redo the changes, use the below method:
embeddedDashboardExperience.redo();
If you want to reset the changes, use the below method:
embeddedDashboardExperience.reset();
If you want to toggle the visibility state of the bookmarks pane, use the below method:
embeddedDashboardExperience.toggleBookmarksPane();

It allows you to set initial parameter values for your embedded QuickSight visual. Pass an array as value for multi-value parameters. For more information about parameters in Amazon QuickSight, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/parameters-in-quicksight.html
If this is set to false, the visual keeps its dimensions as it was designed within its dashboard layout. Otherwise, it adjusts its width to match the iframe's width, while maintaining the original aspect ratio.
The observed behavior of the fitToIframeWidth property varies depending on the layout setting of the underlying dashboard that the visual is a part of:
In Tiled and Free-form layouts, the width is fixed. When the fitToIframeWidth property is toggled, the width changes between fixed width and full iframe width.
In Classic layout, the width is responsive. Since the visual already fits to the width of the iframe, it remains full iframe width even when the fitToIframeWidth property is set to false.
The eventNames the dashboard experience receive
CONTENT_LOADED: Received when the visuals of the Amazon QuickSight dashboard are fully loaded
ERROR_OCCURRED: Received when an error occurred while rendering the Amazon QuickSight visual. The message contains `errorCode`. The error codes are:
- `Forbidden` -- the URL's authentication code expired
- `Unauthorized` -- the session obtained from the authentication code expired
If you follow the instructions to generate the correct URL, but you still receive these error codes, you need to generate a new URL.
PARAMETERS_CHANGED: Received when the parameters in Amazon QuickSight dashboard changes.
SIZE_CHANGED: Received when the size of the Amazon QuickSight dashboard changes.

Console embedding provides the QuickSight authoring experience.
For more information, see Embedding the Amazon QuickSight Console
Embedded authoring experience allows the user to create QuickSight assets, just like they can in the AWS console for QuickSight. Exactly what the user can do in the console is controlled by a custom permission profile. The profile can remove abilities such as creating or updating data sources and datasets. You can set also the default visual type. Embedded consoles currently don't support screen scaling in formatting options.

frameOptionsย
See Common Properties of frameOptions for All Embedding Experiences for url, container, width, height, className, withIframePlaceholder, onChange properties
Note for Q search bar embedding, you'll likely want to use className to give the iframe a position: absolute so that when expanded it does not shift the contents of your application. If elements in your application are appearing in front of the Q search bar, you can provide the iframe with a higher z-index as well.

contentOptionsย
The hideTopicName property can be used to customize whether or not the QuickSight Q Topic name appears in the embedded search bar.
The theme property can be used to set a content theme for the embedded search bar. Note that the embedded QuickSight user, or the group or namespace they belong to, must have permissions on this theme. The default theme is the default QuickSight theme seen in the console application.
The allowTopicSelection property can be used to customize whether or not the embedded user can change the selected topic for the Q search bar. Note that this can only be set to false if the initialTopicId was specified in the embedding API; for more information, see QuickSight Embedding APIs. The default value is true.
The eventNames the dashboard experience receive
Q_SEARCH_CLOSED: Received when the Q search collapsed
Q_SEARCH_ENTERED_FULLSCREEN: Received when the Q search entered fullscreen
Q_SEARCH_EXITED_FULLSCREEN: Received when the Q search exited fullscreen
Q_SEARCH_OPENED: Received when the Q search expanded
Q_SEARCH_SIZE_CHANGED: Received when the size of the Q search changed

This feature sends a question to the Q search bar and immediately queries the question. It also automatically opens the Q popover.
embeddedQBarExperience.setQuestion('show me monthly revenue');
This feature closes the Q popover, returns the iframe to the original Q search bar size.
embeddedQBarExperience.close();

Q_SEARCH_OPENED and Q_SEARCH_CLOSED messages to create a backdrop/element on the page that's always clickable so that the document listener can properly close the search bar.ย
