README

The report viewer serves as an additional layer on top of the Jasper Report Bundle and provides a visual interface for displaying and running reports, and viewing report history. It requires the Jasper Report Bundle in order to work.

###Features

• Provides a list of all reports a user can view
• Provides an interface to handle report input
• Displays reports and ajax loads their pages
• UI for report history

###Todo

• Currently relies on a cdn for third party css and javascript, needs to be better integrated into the bundle
• Tests are seriously needed

Installation

###Install Report Bundle The report viewer bundle requires the report bundle to have been set up in order to work. If the report bundle is not yet installed, go here

###Add to Composer The first step is to add the bundle to the composer.json of the application.

"require": {
    "mesd/jasper-report-viewer-bundle": "~1.0"
}

###Add to the AppKernel In order for the application to load the bundle, it needs to be registered in the AppKernel.

public function registerBundles() {
    $bundles = array(
        ...
        new Mesd\Jasper\ReportViewerBundle\MesdJasperReportViewerBundle(),
    )
}

###Add To Assetic To have assets work, the bundle has to be registered with assetic. This is done in the config file where the rest of assetic is setup. Example:

assetic:
    ...
    bundles:
        - MesdJasperReportViewerBundle

###Import the Routing File The final step is to include the report viewer's routing file in the main application's routing file. Look at the example below:

MESDJasperReportViewerBundle:
    resource: "@MesdJasperReportViewerBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
    prefix: /reportviewer

Usage

To add links to the report home and report viewer use the following twig functions

{# report home link #}
{{ mesd_jasper_reportviewer_home('Link Text') }}
 
{# report viewer link #}
{{ mesd_jasper_reportviewer_report_link('/reports/uri_of_report', 'Link Text') }}
 
{# stored report link #}
{{ mesd_jasper_reportviewer_stored_report_link('/reports/uri_of_report', 'requestId', 'Link Text') }}

These routes may also be used in controllers:

    public function indexAction( Request $request ) {
        $sc = $this->get('security.context');
        if ( $sc->isGranted('ROLE_REPORT') ) {
            return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('MesdJasperReportViewerBundle_home'));
        } 
    }

or:

    public function indexAction( Request $request ) {
        $sc = $this->get('security.context');
        if ( $sc->isGranted('ROLE_REPORT') ) {
            return $this->redirect(
                $this->generateUrl(
                    'MesdJasperReportViewerBundle_home',
                    array( 'openInNewTab' => true )
                )
            );
    }

A further look at each function:

• mesd_jasper_reportviewer_home(linkText, classes = ' ', openInNewTab = true)
  • linkText => The text to display on the link
  • classes => classes to apply to the anchor tag
  • openInNewTab => whether to open the link in a new tab/window or not
• mesd_jasper_reportviewer_report_link(reportUri, linkText, classes = ' ', openInNewTab = true, hideHome = true)
  • reportUri => The uri of the report to open the report viewer to on the Jasper Server
  • linkText => The text display on the link
  • classes => classes to apply to the anchor tag
  • openInNewTab => whether to open the link in a new tab/window or not
  • hideHome => Whether to display navbar links to home and history
• mesd_jasper_reportviewer_stored_report_link(reportUri, requestId, linkText, classes = ' ', openInNewTab = true, hideHome = true)
  • reportUri => The uri of the report to open the report viewer to on the Jasper Server
  • requestId => The request Id of the stored report
  • linkText => The text display on the link
  • classes => classes to apply to the anchor tag
  • openInNewTab => whether to open the link in a new tab/window or not
