The AngularJS directives are usually included within the ej.widget.angular.min.js file and all these directives are usually packed together in a common module known as ejangular. For basic details on how to configure Syncfusion widgets in AngularJS framework, refer here.

To get start with the PivotClient control in AngularJS framework, the following list of external dependencies are mandatory,

The external AngularJS script file angular.min.js can also be accessed from the following installed location.

  • (installed location)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\24.2.3\JavaScript\assets\external

An another mandatory script is ej.widget.angular.min.js, which can be accessed from the below specified location.

  • (installed location)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\24.2.3\JavaScript\assets\scripts\common

Script/CSS Reference

Create a new HTML file and include the below initial code.

  • HTML
  • <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
        <head>
            <meta charset="utf-8" />
            <title> </title>
        </head>
        <body>
        </body>
    </html>

    Refer the CSS file from the specific theme folder to your HTML file within the head section as shown below. Refer the built-in available themes from here.

  • HTML
  • <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <title>Getting Started - PivotClient</title>
        <link href="http://cdn.syncfusion.com/24.2.3/js/web/flat-azure/ej.web.all.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    </head>

    The scripts and style sheets listed below in the <head> tag could be found in any of the following locations:

        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <title>Getting Started - PivotClient</title>
        <link href="http://cdn.syncfusion.com/24.2.3/js/web/flat-azure/ej.web.all.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
        <script src="http://cdn.syncfusion.com/js/assets/external/jquery-3.0.0.min.js"></script>
        <script src="http://cdn.syncfusion.com/js/assets/external/jsrender.min.js"></script>
        <script src="http://cdn.syncfusion.com/js/assets/external/angular.min.js"></script>
        <script src="http://cdn.syncfusion.com/24.2.3/js/web/ej.web.all.min.js"></script>
        <script src="http://cdn.syncfusion.com/24.2.3/js/common/ej.widget.angular.min.js"></script>
    </head>

    In the above code, ej.web.all.min.jsscript reference has been added for demonstration purpose. It is not recommended to use this for deployment purpose, as its file size is larger since it contains all the widgets. Instead, you can use[CSG](http://csg.syncfusion.com/# “”) utility to generate a custom script file with the required widgets for deployment purpose.

    Creating a simple application with PivotClient and OLAP datasource (Client Mode)

    This section covers the information that you need to know to populate a simple PivotClient with OLAP data completely on the client-side.

    Initialize PivotClient

    Create the PivotClient control using ej-pivotclient directive and define all its other properties prefixed with e- as shown in the below code.

  • HTML
  • <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" ng-app="PivotClientApp">
    <head> <!-- Dependency file references --> </head>
    <body>
        <div ng-controller="PivotClientCtrl">
            <div id="PivotClient1" ej-pivotclient e-datasource="dataSource"/>
        </div>
    </body>
    </html>

    Populate PivotClient with DataSource

    Initializes the OLAP datasource for PivotClient widget as shown below.

  • HTML
  • <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" ng-app="PivotClientApp">
    <head> <!-- Dependency file references --> </head>
    <body>
        <div ng-controller="PivotClientCtrl">
            <div id="PivotClient1" ej-pivotclient e-datasource="dataSource" e-title="OLAP Browser"/>
        </div>
        <script>
            angular.module('PivotClientApp', ['ejangular']).controller('PivotClientPivotCtrl', function ($scope) {
                $scope.datasource = {
                    data: "http://bi.syncfusion.com/olap/msmdpump.dll",
                    catalog: "Adventure Works DW 2008 SE",
                    cube: "Adventure Works",
                    rows: [{
                        fieldName: "[Date].[Fiscal]"
                    }],
                    columns: [{
                        fieldName: "[Customer].[Customer Geography]"
                    }],
                    values: [{
                        measures: [{
                            fieldName: "[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]",
                        }],
                        axis: "columns"
                    }]
                };
                $scope.dataSource = $scope.datasource;
            });
        </script>
    </body>
    </html>

    Now, PivotClient is rendered with PivotChart and PivotGrid with “Customer Geography” in Column, “Fiscal” in Row and “Internet Sales Amount” measure in Value section.

    Creating a simple application with PivotClient and OLAP datasource (Server Mode)

    This section covers the information required to create a simple PivotClient bound to OLAP datasource from server-side.

    NOTE

    We will be illustrating this section by creating a simple Web Application through Visual Studio IDE since PivotClient bound with data from server-side requires .NET dependency. The Web Application would contain a HTML page and a service that would transfer data to server-side, process and return back the data to client-side for control re-rendering. The service utilized for communication could be either WCF or WebAPI based on user requirement and we have illustrated both for user convenience.

    Project Initialization

    Create a new ASP.NET Empty Web Application by using Visual Studio IDE and name the project as “PivotClientDemo”.

    Next, add a HTML page. To add a HTML page in your Web Application, right-click on the project in Solution Explorer and select Add > New Item. In the Add New Item window, select HTML Page and name it as “GettingStarted.html”, click Add.

    Now, set “GettingStarted.html” as start-up page by right-clicking on “GettingStarted.html” page and select “Set As Start Page”.

    Control Initialization

    Create the PivotClient control using ej-pivotclient directive and define all its other properties prefixed with e- as shown in the below code.

  • HTML
  • <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" ng-app="PivotClientApp">
    <head> <!-- Dependency file references --> </head>
    <body>
        <div ng-controller="PivotClientCtrl">
            <div id="PivotClient1" ej-pivotclient e-url="url" e-title="OLAP Browser" />
        </div>
        <script>
            angular.module('PivotClientApp', ['ejangular']).controller('PivotClientCtrl', function ($scope) {
                $scope.url: "/Olap"
            });
        </script>
    </body>
    </html>

    The “url” property in PivotClient widget points the service endpoint, where data are processed and fetched in the form of JSON. The service used for the PivotClient widget as endpoint are WCF and WebAPI.

    NOTE

    The above “GettingStarted.html” contains WebAPI URL, which is “/Olap”. Suppose if you are using WCF service, then the URL would look like “/OlapService.svc”.

    WebAPI

    Adding a WebAPI Controller

    To add a WebAPI controller in your existing Web Application, right-click on the project in Solution Explorer and select Add > New Item. In the Add New Item window, select WebAPI Controller Class and name it as “OlapController.cs”, click Add.

    Now, WebAPI controller is added into your application successfully with the following file. The utilization of this file will be explained in the following sections.

    • OlapController.cs

    NOTE

    While adding WebAPI Controller Class, name it with the suffix “Controller” which is mandatory. For example, in demo the controller is named “OlapController”.

    Next, remove all the existing methods such as “Get”, “Post”, “Put” and “Delete” present inside OlapController.cs file.

  • C#
  • namespace PivotClientDemo
    {
        public class OlapController: ApiController
        {
        
        }
    }

    List of Dependency Libraries

    Next, add the following dependency libraries into your Web Application. You can find these libraries in GAC (Global Assembly Cache) in your machine.

    To add them to your Web Application, right-click on References in Solution Explorer and select Add Reference. Now in the Reference Manager dialog, under Assemblies > Extension, the following Syncfusion libraries are found.

    NOTE: If you have installed any version of SQL Server Analysis Service (SSAS) or Microsoft ADOMD.NET utility, then the location of Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient library is [system drive:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft.NET\ADOMD.NET]

    • Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient
    • Syncfusion.Compression.Base
    • Syncfusion.Linq.Base
    • Syncfusion.Olap.Base
    • Syncfusion.PivotAnalysis.Base
    • System.Data.SqlServerCe (Version: 4.0.0.0)
    • Syncfusion.XlsIO.Base
    • Syncfusion.Pdf.Base
    • Syncfusion.DocIO.Base
    • Syncfusion.EJ
    • Syncfusion.EJ.Export
    • Syncfusion.EJ.Pivot

    List of Namespaces

    The following are the list of namespaces to be added on top of the main class inside OlapController.cs file.

  • C#
  • using Syncfusion.JavaScript;
    using Syncfusion.Olap.Manager;
    using Syncfusion.Olap.Reports;
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Configuration;
    using System.Data;
    using System.Data.SqlServerCe;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Web;
    using System.Web.Http;
    using System.Web.Script.Serialization;
    using OLAPUTILS = Syncfusion.JavaScript.Olap;
    
    namespace PivotClientDemo
    {
        public class OlapController: ApiController
        {
        
        }
    }

    Datasource Initialization

    Now, the connection string to connect OLAP Cube, PivotClient and JavaScriptSerializer instances are created immediately inside the main class in OlapController.cs file. Also, the database connection for saving and loading reports is provided appropriately.

  • C#
  • namespace PivotClientDemo
    {
        public class OlapController: ApiController
        {
            PivotClient pivotClientHelper = new PivotClient();
            PivotTreeMap treeMapHelper = new PivotTreeMap();
            PivotChart chartHelper = new PivotChart();
            JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
            string connectionString = "Data Source=http://bi.syncfusion.com/olap/msmdpump.dll; Initial Catalog=Adventure Works DW 2008 SE;";
            string conStringforDB = "";//Enter appropriate connection string to connect database for saving and loading operation of reports
            //Other codes
        }
    }

    Service methods in WebAPI Controller

    Now you need to define the service methods inside OlapController class, found inside OlapController.cs file, created while adding WebAPI Controller Class to your Web Application.

  • C#
  • namespace PivotClientDemo
    {
        public class OlapController: ApiController
        {
            PivotClient pivotClientHelper = new PivotClient();
            PivotTreeMap treeMapHelper = new PivotTreeMap();
            PivotChart chartHelper = new PivotChart();
            JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
            string connectionString = "Data Source=http://bi.syncfusion.com/olap/msmdpump.dll; Initial Catalog=Adventure Works DW 2008 SE;";
            string conStringforDB = "";//Enter appropriate connection string to connect database for saving and loading operation of reports

    Configure routing in Global Application Class

    To add a Global.asax in your existing Web Application, right-click on the project in Solution Explorer and select Add > New Item. In the Add New Item window, select Global Application Class and name it as “Global.asax”, click Add.
    Once you finish adding the Global.asax file, immediately add the namespace “using System.Web.Http;” and then you can configure routing like in the following code example.

  • C#
  • public class Global: System.Web.HttpApplication
    {
        protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            System.Web.Http.GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Routes.MapHttpRoute(name: "DefaultApi", routeTemplate: "{controller}/{action}/{id}", defaults: new
            {
                id = RouteParameter.Optional
            });
            AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetData("SQLServerCompactEditionUnderWebHosting", true);
        }
    }

    Now, PivotClient is rendered with PivotChart and PivotGrid showing Customer Count over a period of fiscal years.
