Introduction

Flexmonster Pivot Table & Charts Component has convenient full-functional JavaScript API to embed the component into web applications.

This API documentation describes objects, calls and events.

The following example illustrates how to embed the component via initial new Flexmonster() call:

<div id="pivotContainer">The component will appear here</div>
<script src="flexmonster/flexmonster.js"></script>

<script>
  let pivot = new Flexmonster({
    container: "pivotContainer",
    toolbar: true
  });
</script>

Open the example on JSFiddle or read more about embedding Flexmonster Component: new Flexmonster().
