    Integration to VueJS Application
    In This Topic

    This page explains how you can embed the Js Viewer component in your VueJS application (ASP.NET Core).  To run the Vue Application Server, you will require the node.js JavaScript runtime.

    1. Open Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 and create a new Vue and ASP.NET Core project.

      Create a New Project Dialog

    2. Type a name for your project and click Next.

      Configure your New Project Dialog

    3. Select the Framework to a latest version and uncheck other options.

      Create a New Project Dialog

    4. Right-click the project in the Solution Explorer and select Manage NuGet Packages.

    5. Add the following package to the project.

      MESCIUS.ActiveReports.Aspnetcore.Viewer

    6. Create 'resources' folder in your sample project root; you can put your existing reports, themes, and images in this folder.
    7. Make sure to set the Build Action property of the resources to 'Embedded Resource'.

    8. Open 'Program.cs' file and update the file to include the 'using' statements at the top, and specify the resource folder, and add services to container, so that the complete file looks like below.

      Program.cs
      Copy Code 
      using GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Aspnetcore.Viewer;
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
// Add services to the container.
builder.Services.AddReportViewer();
builder.Services.AddControllers();
var app = builder.Build();
app.UseCors(options => options
    .WithOrigins("http://localhost:5173")
    .AllowAnyHeader()
    .AllowAnyMethod()
    .AllowCredentials()
);
var ResourcesRootDirectory =
    new DirectoryInfo(Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "resources"));
app.UseReportViewer(config => {
    config.UseFileStore(ResourcesRootDirectory);
});
app.UseDefaultFiles();
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseAuthorization();
app.MapControllers();
app.MapFallbackToFile("/index.html");
app.Run();

    9. In the '.client' project, open 'package.json' file and add the following package under 'dependencies':

      "@mescius/activereportsnet-viewer": "^18.x.x"

    10. Open the '.client' project in the command prompt or terminal window and run the following command to install the npm packages.

      npm install

      The viewer files/folders will be downloaded in your current directory: .\node_modules\@mescius\activereportsnet-viewer\dist.
    11. Open 'App.vue' inside the 'src' folder and replace its default content with the following code.
      App.vue
      Copy Code 
      <template>
    <div id="viewer-host">
    </div>
</template>
<script>
    import { createViewer } from '@mescius/activereportsnet-viewer';
    import "@mescius/activereportsnet-viewer/dist/jsViewer.min.css";
    export default {
        name: 'app',
        mounted() {
            let serverUrl = 'http://localhost:5151';
           
            this.viewer = createViewer({
                element: '#viewer-host',
                reportService: {
                    url: serverUrl + '/api/reporting'
                }
            });
            this.viewer.openReport("DemoReport.rdlx");
        }
    }
</script>
<style>
    #viewer-host {
        background-color: #e5e5e5;
        height: 100vh;
        float: right;
        width: 100%;
    }
</style>

    12. Open 'vite.config.js' file and update the 'server' setting as follows.

      vite.config.js
      Copy Code 
      server: {
     proxy: {
         '/api': {
             target: 'http://localhost:5001/' // Update the target to use HTTP           
         }
     },
     port: 5173,
     https: false // Set https to false to run on HTTP
 }
    13. To disable browser launch, set the 'launchBrowser' to 'false' in 'launchSettings.json' (in .Server project\Properties).
    14. Run the application by pressing F5.
