Amazon QuickSight Embedding SDK
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.
Installation
Option 1: Use the Amazon QuickSight Embedding SDK in the browser:
...
<script src="https://unpkg.com/amazon-quicksight-embedding-sdk@2.7.0/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();
Creating the Embedding Context
Use createEmbeddingContext
method to create an embedding context. It returns a promise of EmbeddingContext
type.
export type CreateEmbeddingContext = (frameOptions?: EmbeddingContextFrameOptions) => Promise<EmbeddingContext>
export type EventListener = (
event: EmbeddingEvents,
metadata?: ExperienceFrameMetadata
) => void;
export type EmbeddingContextFrameOptions = {
onChange?: EventListener;
};
export type IEmbeddingContext = {
embedDashboard: (frameOptions: FrameOptions, contentOptions?: DashboardContentOptions) => Promise<DashboardExperience>;
embedVisual: (frameOptions: FrameOptions, contentOptions?: VisualContentOptions) => Promise<VisualExperience>;
embedConsole: (frameOptions: FrameOptions, contentOptions?: ConsoleContentOptions) => Promise<ConsoleExperience>;
embedQSearchBar: (frameOptions: FrameOptions, contentOptions?: QSearchContentOptions) => Promise<QSearchExperience>;
embedGenerativeQnA: (frameOptions: FrameOptions, contentOptions?: GenerativeQnAContentOptions) => Promise<GenerativeQnAContentOptions>;
};
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.
Embedding the Amazon QuickSight Experiences
An EmbeddingContext
instance exposes 4 experience methods
- embedDashboard
- embedVisual
- embedConsole
- embedQSearchBar
- embedGenerativeQnA
These methods take 2 parameters:
- frameOptions (required)
- contentOptions (optional)
Example
import { createEmbeddingContext } from 'amazon-quicksight-embedding-sdk';
const embeddingContext = await createEmbeddingContext();
const {
embedDashboard,
embedVisual,
embedConsole,
embedQSearchBar,
} = embeddingContext;
const frameOptions = {
};
const contentOptions = {
};
const embeddedDashboardExperience = await embedDashboard(frameOptions, contentOptions);
const embeddedVisualExperience = await embedVisual(frameOptions, contentOptions);
const embeddedConsoleExperience = await embedConsole(frameOptions, contentOptions);
const embeddedQSearchExperience = await embedQSearchBar(frameOptions, contentOptions);
Common Properties of frameOptions
for All Embedding Experiences
🔹 url: string (required)
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.
🔹 container: string | HTMLElement (required)
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"
🔹 width: string (optional, default='100%'),
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.
🔹 height: string (optional, default='100%')
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.
🔹 className: string (optional)
You can customize style of the iframe that holds your embedded experience by one of the followings:
- Option 1: Use the "quicksight-embedding-iframe" class we predefined for you:
.quicksight-embedding-iframe {
margin: 5px;
}
- Option 2: Or, create your own class and pass in through
className
property:
.your-own-class {
margin: 5px;
}
const option = { 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.
🔹 withIframePlaceholder: boolean (optional, default=false)
It renders a simple spinner in the embedded experience container while the contents of the embedding experience iframe is being loaded.
🔹 onChange: EventListener (optional)
This callback is invoked when there is a change in the SDK code status.
export type EventListener = (event: EmbeddingEvents, metadata?: ExperienceFrameMetadata) => void;
export interface ChangeEvent {
eventName: EventName,
eventLevel: ChangeEventLevel,
message?: EventMessageValue,
data?: EventData
}
export type ExperienceFrameMetadata = {
frame: EmbeddingIFrameElement | null;
};

.
🔹 onMessage: EventListener (optional)
You can add onMessage
callback into the contentOptions
of all embedding experiences.
export type EventListener = (event: EmbeddingEvents, metadata?: ExperienceFrameMetadata) => void;
export interface SimpleMessageEvent {
eventName: EventName;
message?: EventMessageValue;
data?: EventData;
eventTarget?: InternalExperiences;
}
export type ExperienceFrameMetadata = {
frame: EmbeddingIFrameElement | null;
};
See the experience specific documentation below for the supported eventName
s for each experience type.
const contentOptions = {
onMessage: async (messageEvent: EmbeddingEvents, metadata?: ExperienceFrameMetadata) => {
switch (messageEvent.eventName) {
case 'CONTENT_LOADED': {
console.log("Do something when the embedded experience is fully loaded.");
break;
}
case 'ERROR_OCCURRED': {
console.log("Do something when the embedded experience fails loading.");

properties
resizeHeightOnSizeChangedEvent: boolean (optional, default: false)
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
});
break;
}
}
},
}
contentOptions
See Common Properties of contentOptions
for All Embedding Experiences for locale
property
🔹 parameters: Parameter[] (optional)

For more information about parameters in Amazon QuickSight, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/parameters-in-quicksight.html
🔹 toolbarOptions
If sub-properties of the toolbarOptions are set to false, then the navrbar is hidden.
🔹 export: boolean (optional, default=false)
This can be used to show or hide export icon for dashboard embedding.
🔹 undoRedo: boolean (optional, default=false)
This can be used to show or hide the undo and redo buttons for dashboard embedding.
🔹 reset: boolean (optional, default=false)
This can be used to show or hide the reset button for dashboard embedding.
🔹 bookmarks: boolean (optional, default=false)
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.

"FeatureConfigurations": {
"Bookmarks": {
"Enabled": true
}
}
}
}
...
🔹 sheetOptions
🔹 initialSheetId: string (optional)
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.
🔹 singleSheet: boolean (optional, default=false)
The singleSheet
property can be used to enable or disable sheet tab controls in dashboard embedding.
🔹 emitSizeChangedEventOnSheetChange: boolean (optional default=false)
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.
🔹 attributionOptions
🔹 overlayContent: boolean (optional, default=false)
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.
🔹 onMessage: EventListener (optional)
The eventName
s the dashboard experience receives
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.
Actions
🔹 setParameters: (parameters: Parameter[]) => Promise<ResponseMessage>;

embeddedExperience.setParameters([
{
Name: 'country',
Values: ['United States'],
},
{
Name: 'states',
Values: ['California', 'Washington'],

resizeHeightOnSizeChangedEvent: boolean (optional, default: false)
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.
contentOptions
See Common Properties of contentOptions
for All Embedding Experiences for locale
and parameters
properties
🔹 parameters: Parameter[] (optional)
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
🔹 fitToIframeWidth: boolean (optional, default=true)
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.
🔹 onMessage: SimpleMessageEventHandler (optional)
The eventName
s the visual experience receives
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.
Actions
🔹 setParameters: (parameters: Parameter[]) => Promise<ResponseMessage>;
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:
embeddedVisualExperience.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
.

Console Embedding
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.
Getting Started
Use embedConsole
method to embed a QuickSight console. It returns a promise of ConsoleExperience
type.
export class ConsoleExperience extends BaseExperience<ConsoleContentOptions, InternalConsoleExperience, IConsoleExperience, TransformedConsoleContentOptions, ConsoleExperienceFrame> {
send: <EMV extends EventMessageValues = EventMessageValues>(messageEvent: TargetedMessageEvent) => Promise<ResponseMessage<EMV>>;

Troubleshooting
- Make sure the URL you provide in options is not encoded. You should avoid using an encoded URL because it breaks the authcode in the URL by changing it. Also, check that the URL sent in the response from the server side is not encoded.
- The URL only works if it used with the authcode it came with. The URL and authcode need to be used together. They expire after five minutes, so it's worth checking that you're not troubleshooting an expired combination of URL and authcode.
- Some browsers (e.g. mobile safari) have default setting to "Always Block Cookies". Change the setting to either "Allow form Websites I Visit" or "Always Allow".
- Q search bar troubleshooting:
- Shifting page contents in unwanted way - try giving the embedding container and the iframe class a style with position absolute.
- Clicking on some parts of your application does not close the Q search bar - listen to the
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.
