Embed multiple bot visualizations on a page

Available since Strategy One March 2024

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 dashboard, 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">

      nativeEmbedInDemoPage();
    </script>
  </body>

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
}

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.
