Get Flexmonster

Download Flexmonster to get the compiled CSS and JavaScript or include it with the npm package manager.

• Download

  Download a free trial of the component and extract the files from the downloaded package. Copy the flexmonster/ folder into the root of your web project on your server. Note: our free trial ships with a license key for 30 days.

• Use npm package manager

  Our pivot table is available as an npm package called flexmonster. Run the following command to install Flexmonster as a node module and save it as a dependency in your package.json:

  npm i flexmonster --save
  

  Get a free 30-days trial license key to use Flexmonster (sent over email).

Initialization

To get your pivot table component embedded take the following steps:

1. Create a <div> container for the component:

   <div id="pivotContainer">The component will appear here</div>
   

2. Include flexmonster.js in your HTML page:

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

   Note: src should contain the path to your flexmonster.js. When installing Flexmonster with npm the path will be: node_modules/flexmonster/flexmonster.js
3. Add a simple script to embed the component. licenseKey is your license or trial key, so you should replace XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX with an actual key:

   <div id="pivotContainer">The component will appear here</div>
   <script src="flexmonster/flexmonster.js"></script>
   
   <script>
   	var pivot = new Flexmonster({
   		container: "pivotContainer",
   		componentFolder: "flexmonster/",
   		toolbar: true,
   		licenseKey: "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"
   	});
   </script>
   
   

   Note 1: componentFolder should point to the flexmonster/ folder. For example, when Flexmonster is included via npm, componentFolder should be defined as node_modules/flexmonster/
   Note 2: Flexmonster has more initialization parameters, check them out.
4. Now launch the page from a browser — there you go! The component without data is embedded into your project. You can see the example on JSFiddle.
