Java

Class: ExportManager

ExportManager is the most essential module in order to access actions related to FusionExport like, change the export file quality, set up the file format, etc.

Constructor: new ExportManager()

Example

new ExportManager();

Method: setHostAndPort(String host, int port)

This take parameters that can contain host and port values. These values will be used when connecting to FusionExport Server.

Parameters

Name Type Default Value Description
host String 127.0.0.1 The host address which will be used when connecting to FusionExport server
port Integer 1337 The port number which will be used when connecting to FusionExport server

Example

exportManager.setHostAndPort("api.fusionexport.com", 1337);

Method: export(ExportConfig exportConfig, String outputDirPath, Boolean unzip)

This is the most important method from ExportManager module. Based on the configuration provided, this method exports your charts and dashboards to the given format.

It returns an array of strings which contain filenames of the exported files.

Parameters

Name Type Default Value Required Description
exportConfig ExportConfig Yes Instance of the ExportConfig which will include all export configurations
outputDirPath String . Yes Directory where you want to save the exported file. By default the file will be saved in the same directory from where the script is executed. This field is optional.
unzip Boolean false Yes This parameter allows you to decompress your output bundle into separate files. To allow this behaviour pass true. This field is optional.

Returns

  • String[]: It returns an array of strings which contains the array of filenames of the exported files.

Example

exportManager.Export(exportConfig, ".", true);

Method: exportAsStream(ExportConfig exportConfig)

You can get exported output as a stream and can work with it. Based on the configuration provided, this method exports your charts and dashboards as a stream.

Parameters

Name Type Required Description
exportConfig ExportConfig yes Instance of the ExportConfig which will include all export configurations

Returns

  • HashMap: It returns an object with String and ByteArrayOutputStream as HashMap.

Example

HashMap<String, ByteArrayOutputStream> files = em.exportAsStream(config);

Class: ExportConfig

ExportConfig class is used to set up all the configs for a single export whether it is a dashboard export, single export or a batch export.

Constructor: new ExportConfig()

This constructor does not take any argument.

Example

new ExportConfig();

Method: set(String configName, String value)

Takes two argument first one as the key second one as the value. You can find more about the options later on in this guide.

Parameters

Name Type Default Value Required Description
configName String null Yes Name of the config
value String, Integer or Boolean null Yes Value of the config

Returns

  • ExportConfig: The instance of the exportConfig for method chaining.

Example

exportConfig.set("chartConfig", "./static/chart-config.json");

ExportConfig Options

There are plenty of options which you can configure in ExportConfig. These options essentially help you set quality of the image to define how your chart is going to look like.

chartConfig

Sets the configuration of a single chart or multiple charts in an array. This configuration should follow FusionCharts JSON structure. It accepts, file path of the JSON where chart configurations have been stored.

  • Type: String

Example

exportConfig.set("chartConfig", "resourceschart-config-file.json");

inputSVG

This option is useful to export your SVG files to the file formats supported by FusionExport. It accepts file path of the SVG in string format.

  • Type: String

Example

exportConfig.set("inputSVG", "resources\vector.svg");

templateFilePath

Sets the path of the HTML template used for dashboard export

  • Type: String

Example

exportConfig.set("templateFilePath", "resources\template.html");

template

Send HTML template in string format to be used for dashboard export

  • Type: String

Example

exportConfig.set("template", "<html></html>");

templateWidth

Sets the width of the viewport in which it will get rendered. Throws an exception when the data provided by the user is not a string or when the parse value of the string is NaN.

  • Type: String/Number

Example

// With a number
exportConfig.set("templateWidth", 1200);

// With a string
exportConfig.set("templateWidth", "1200");

templateHeight

Sets the height of the viewport in which it will get rendered. Throws an exception when the data provided by the user is not a string or when the parsed value of the string is NaN.

  • Type: String/Number

Example

// With a number
exportConfig.set("templateHeight", 3000);

// With a string
exportConfig.set("templateHeight", "3000");

templateFormat

Sets the format of the PDF pages during a PDF export. This option takes priority over templateWidth and templateHeight. Throws an exception when the data provided by the user is not a string or when the format is not in the supported set.

  • Type: String

The available options are:

  • Letter: 8.5in x 11in
  • Legal: 8.5in x 14in
  • Tabloid: 11in x 17in
  • Ledger: 17in x 11in
  • A0: 33.1in x 46.8in
  • A1: 23.4in x 33.1in
  • A2: 16.5in x 23.4in
  • A3: 11.7in x 16.5in
  • A4: 8.27in x 11.7in
  • A5: 5.83in x 8.27in

Example

exportConfig.set("templateFormat", "A4");

resourceFilePath

JSON file having the dependencies of the template when templateFilePath is provided. basePath denotes the base path of the project no local resource should be present outside this directory. include takes one or more glob to specify which files to send to the server. exclude take sone or more glob to specify which files should be excluded.

  • Type: String

Example

exportConfig.set("resourceFilePath", "resources\resource.json");

The resource.json looks like as shown below:

{
    "basePath": "../src/",
    "include": [
        '**/*.js'
    ],
    "exlcude": [
        '.env'
    ]

Example

exportConfig.set("callbackFilePath", "resourcescallback.js");

asyncCapture

Sets if the export process will wait for CAPTURE_EXIT event

  • Type: Boolean

Example

exportConfig.set("asyncCapture", true);

maxWaitForCaptureExit

Sets the maximum time FusionExport would wait for the CAPTURE_EXIT event to be triggered

Example

exportConfig.set("maxWaitForCaptureExit", 8000);

type

Sets the format of the output file. As of now it support png, jpeg, svg and pdf.

  • Type: String

Example

outputFile

Sets the output filename template, along with the path. You can write ejs style template for output file names. By default two functions are provided. number(start, end, interval) will resolve to a number respective to the position of the chart config in the chart config array in case of multiple file export. timestamp() will resolve to the current timestamp in unix format.

  • Type: String

Example

exportConfig.set("outputFile", "path/to/export--<%= number(2) %>");

outputFileDefinition

JS file defining functions or array to resolve output file names. You can write functions which will be called with the current chartConfig, index and the whole chartConfig list and will be called when resolving each filename. If it's an array then the values will be used sequentially. You have to call this functions or array in the outputFile template.

  • Type: String

Example

exportConfig.set("outputFileDefinition", "resources/outputFileDefinition.js");
