Connecting to the Data Server

Step 1. Embed the component into your web page

Set up an empty component in your HTML page. If Flexmonster is not yet embedded – return to Quick start. Your code should look similar to the following example:

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

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

Step 2. Configure the report

To connect to Flexmonster Data Server, configure the report as follows:

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

<script>
    var pivot = new Flexmonster({
        container: "pivotContainer",
        toolbar: true,
        report: {
            dataSource: {
                type: "api",
                url: "http://localhost:9500",
                index: "sample-index"
            }
        },
        licenseKey: "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"
    });
</script>

Note: "sample-index" is the index defined in flexmonster-config.json for the sample-data/data.csv file.

Open the web page in the browser: the pivot table with the sample CSV data is shown.
