Embed multiple bot visualizations on a page

Available since 2024 Update 3

Purpose

You can use the Native Embedding SDK to embed multiple visualizations from a bot in a client's webpage, with high performance that is similar to loading one out-of-the-box Library dashboard page.

Requirements

You must use the js bundle, native-embedding-sdk.js:

<script
type="text/javascript"
src="https://demo.microstrategy.com/MicroStrategyLibrary/javascript/native-embedding-sdk.js"
></script>

Example code

Embed visualizations from one bot

To embed multiple visualizations from one dossier, after referring native-embedding-sdk.js, use the code shown below: (please use <meta charset="UTF-8" /> character encoding tag)

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title></title>
<script
type="text/javascript"
src="https://demo.microstrategy.com/MicroStrategyLibrary/javascript/native-embedding-sdk.js"
></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container1" style="height: 500px;"></div>
<div id="container2" style="height: 500px;"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
const nativeEmbedInDemoPage = async () => {
try {
// configuration for the target dossier
const configs = {
projectId: "EC70648611E7A2F962E90080EFD58751",
objectId: "27D332AC6D43352E0928B9A1FCAF4AB0",
};
const environment = await microstrategy.embeddingComponent.environments.create({
serverUrl: `https://demo.microstrategy.com/MicroStrategyLibrary`,
getAuthToken() {
return fetch(`https://demo.microstrategy.com/MicroStrategyLibrary/api/auth/login`, {
method: "POST",
credentials: "include", // including cookie
mode: "cors", // setting as CORS mode for cross origin
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({
// here we login as guest user, you can log in as normal user with `username` and `password` as well
// username: "input your username",
// password: "input your password",
loginMode: 8, // 8 means guest login, use `1` if you log in as normal user
}),
})
.then((response) => {
if (response && response.ok) {
return response.headers.get("X-MSTR-authToken");
}
throw Error("Failed to fetch auth token.");
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log("Error:", error);
});
},
});
const mstrBot = await environment.loadBot({
projectId: configs.projectId,
objectId: configs.objectId,
});
// the data id can be obtained from the `mstrBot.getQuestions() API`
const dataIdAndContainers = [
{
dataId: "A1F3431F2CA2481BB966EC8F35A9AC3A",
container: document.getElementById("container1"),
},
{
dataId: "B1F3431F2CA2481BB966EC8F35A9AC3A",
container: document.getElementById("container2"),
},
];
const botVizList = await Promise.all(
dataIdAndContainers.map((dataIdAndContainer) => {
const { dataId, container } = dataIdAndContainer;
return mstrBot.renderVisualization(dataId, container);
})
);
} catch (e) {
console.error(e.message);
}
};
nativeEmbedInDemoPage();
</script>
</body>
</html>

Destroy one visualization

You can destroy one of these visualizations by calling MstrBotVisualization.destroy() API. For example, if you want to destroy the first visualization in the above code:

try {
// Follow the code above to get the array botVizList
await botVizList[0].destroy();
} catch (error) {
// Add your own handling logic here
}

Destroy visualizations from one bot

You can destroy all the visualizations from a bot by calling MstrBot.destroy() API:

try {
// Follow the code above to get the mstrBot object
await mstrBot.destroy();
} catch (error) {
// Add your own handling logic here
}

References

This piece of code contains a function from the following namespace and classes:

  • microstrategy.embeddingComponent.environments Namespace

    This namespace is responsible for creating and destroying MstrEnvironment objects.

  • MstrEnvironment Class

    This class is the object returned from the microstrategy.embeddingComponent.environments.create() function, which is responsible for creating and destroying MstrDossier objects.

  • MstrBot Class

    This class is returned from the MstrEnvironment.loadBot() function, which is responsible for showing bot visualizations in containers.
