Embed Library home page

The Embedding SDK allows you to quickly integrate a Library home page into a web application in a responsive manner. It also provides resources to add functionality such as toggling the navigation bar and sidebar, and getting group data for the current user.

There are three basic steps for embedding a Library home page.

  1. In the initial page of your web application, add a link to the Strategy JavaScript Embedding SDK.

    <script src="{YOUR_LIBRARY_SERVER_URL}/javascript/embeddinglib.js"></script>

    Replace {YOUR_LIBRARY_SERVER_URL} with your actual Library Server URL, e.g., https://demo.microstrategy.com/MicroStrategyLibrary.

  2. Create a <div> as the placeholder where you want to embed the Library home page.

    <div id="LibraryHomePageContainer"></div>

  3. Call the microstrategy.embeddingContexts.embedLibraryPage(props) method when the application has finished loading.

    microstrategy.embeddingContexts.embedLibraryPage({
      serverUrl: "{YOUR_LIBRARY_SERVER_URL}",
      placeholder: document.getElementById("LibraryHomePageContainer"),
    });
