Installation

see http://jsreport.net/downloads

npm install jsreport
node node_modules/jsreport --init
npm start

To change environment use cmd set NODE_ENV=development or use options your IDE provides. If you don't specify node environment jsreport assumes production as default.

##Configuration jsreport loads dev.config.json or prod.config.json configuration file on start up based on nodejs environment. The configuration file is the most common way to adapt jsreport settings like http port. In addition to configuration file you can use also corresponding command line arguments or options passed directly through nodejs code.

See config documentation for details.

##Extensions The jsreport official distribution includes the most of the currently implemented extensions. However there are still new extensions popping up which are not yet part of jsreport and you may like to additionally install it. See the list of extensions here.

You are also not limited to extensions we provide to you and you can implement your own. See the Implementing custom extension article.

Node.js

You can find documentation for adapting this jsreport distribution using nodejs and also information for integrating it into an existing nodejs application in article adapting jsreport.
