# Amazon QuickSight Embedding SDK
Thank you for using the Amazon QuickSight JavaScript SDK. You can use this SDK to embed Amazon QuickSight dashboards on HTML pages within your web applications.

## Usage
Before you can embed an Amazon QuickSight dashboard, you need to publish it and ensure that users are granted necessary permissions. For more information, see  [Embedding Amazon QuickSight Dashboards](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/en_us/quicksight/latest/user/embedding.html) in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide..

After a dashboard is ready to be embedded, follow the steps below to embed an Amazon QuickSight dashboard in this [example](#example):

### Step 1: Download and include QuickSight Embedding SDK
Do one of the following:

-  Option 1: Use the Amazon QuickSight Embedding SDK in the browser:
```
    <script src="https://unpkg.com/amazon-quicksight-embedding-sdk@1.0.2/dist/quicksight-embedding-js-sdk.min.js" />
```

-  Option 2: Install and use the QuickSight Embedding SDK in Node.js:
```
    npm install quicksight-embedding-sdk
```
```
    var QuickSightEmbedding = require("quicksight-embedding-sdk");
```


### Step 2: Configure the dashboard to embed
Set up the dashboard so you can embed it.
```
    var options = {
        url: "https://us-east-1.quicksight.aws.amazon.com/sn/dashboards/dashboardId?isauthcode=true&identityprovider=quicksight&code=authcode",
        container: document.getElementById("dashboardContainer"),
        parameters: {
            country: "United States"
            states: [
                "California",
                "Washington"
            ]
        },
        scrolling: "no",
        height: "700px",
        width: "1000px"
    };
```
####Url element (required)
I you haven't done it yet, follow [Embedding Amazon QuickSight Dashboards](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/en_us/quicksight/latest/user/embedding.html) in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide to generate the url.

####Container element (required)
The `container` element is the parent HTMLElement where we're going to embed the dashboard. You can make it one of the following: 

-  Option 1: It can be an HTMLElement:
```
    container: document.getElementById("dashboardContainer"),
```
-  Option 2: Or, it can be a query selector string:
```
    container: "#dashboardContainer",
```

#### Parameters element (optional)
The `parameters` element is an object that contains key:value pairs for parameters names:values.
It allows you to set initial parameter values for your dashboard. Pass an array as value for multi-value parameters.
For more information about parameters in Amazon QuickSight, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/parameters-in-quicksight.html

####Scrolling element (optional)
The `scrolling` element lets you set up a specific scrolling experience for your dashboard. Available values are `auto`, `yes`,
and `no`. The default value is `no`.

####Width element and height element (optional)
You can set `width` and `height` for the dashboard. Both of these default to 100%. You can set them to be fixed values:
```
    height: "700px",
    width: "1000px"
```

Or, relative values:
```
    height: "80%",
    width: "60%"
```

 To make your embedded dashboard responsive,  don't set `width` or `height` (leave them at the default: `100%`). Then make the container HTMLElement responsive to screen size change.

### Step 3: Embed the dashboard

Embed the dashboard by calling:
```
    var dashboard = QuickSightEmbedding.embedDashboard(options);
```
This returns a dashboard object for further action.


### Step 4: Setup load callback (optional)

If you want your application to get notified and respond when the Amazon QuickSight dashboard is fully loaded, use a load callback. Choose one of the following:

-  Use options:
```
    loadCallback: yourLoadCallback,
```

- Or, register the "load" event on the returned dashboard object:
```
    dashboard.on("load", yourLoadCallback);
```


### Step 5: Setup error callback (optional)

If you want your application get notified and respond when QuickSight dashboard fails to load, use a error callback. Choose one of the following:

- Use options:
```
    errorCallback: yourErrorCallback,
```

- Or, register the "error" event on the returned dashboard object:
```
     dashboard.on("error", yourErrorCallback);
```

We pass a payload object to your callback function with a specific `payload.errorCode`. Currently, the error codes are:

- `Forbidden` -- the URL's authentication code expired 

- `Unauthorized` -- the session obtained from the authentication code expired

If you follow the instructions to generate the correct URL, but you still receive these error codes, you need to generate a new URL.


### Step 6: Update parameter values (optional)
Use `dashboard.setParameters()` to update parameter values. Pass an array as value for multi-value parameters.
You can build your own UI to trigger this, so that viewers of the embedded dashboard can control the dashboard from your app page.
```
    dashboard.setParameters({country: "China", states: ["Zhejiang", "Jiangsu"]});
```

### Example
```html
    <!DOCTYPE html>

    <head>
        <title>Basic Embed</title>
        <script src="https://unpkg.com/amazon-quicksight-embedding-sdk@1.0.2/dist/quicksight-embedding-js-sdk.min.js" />
        <script type="text/javascript">
            var dashboard
            function onDashboardLoad(payload) {
                console.log("Do something when the dashboard is fully loaded.");
            }

            function onError(payload) {
                console.log("Do something when the dashboard fails loading");
            }

            function embedDashboard() {
                var containerDiv = document.getElementById("dashboardContainer");
                var options = {
                    url: "https://us-east-1.quicksight.aws.amazon.com/sn/dashboards/dashboardId?isauthcode=true&identityprovider=quicksight&code=authcode",
                    container: containerDiv,
                    parameters: {
                        country: "United States"
                    },
                    scrolling: "no",
                    height: "700px",
                    width: "1000px"
                };
                dashboard = QuickSightEmbedding.embedDashboard(options);
                dashboard.on("error", onDashboardLoad);
                dashboard.on("load", onError);
            }

            function onCountryChange(obj) {
                dashboard.setParameters({country: obj.value});
            }
        </script>
    </head>

    <body onload="embedDashboard()">
        <span>
            <label for="country">Country</label>
            <select id="country" name="country" onchange="onCountryChange(this)">
                <option value="United States">United States</option>
                <option value="Mexico">Mexico</option>
                <option value="Canada">Canada</option>
            </select>
        </span>
        <div id="dashboardContainer"></div>
    </body>
