|
| 8 | ## Bundling
|
| 9 | Implementers should mark powerbi as an externally loaded resource so that the PowerBI client codebase
|
| 10 | is not bundled into custom visuals.
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 | ```
|
| 13 | externals: {
|
| 14 | "powerbi-visuals/lib/powerbi-visuals": "powerbi"
|
| 15 | }
|
| 16 | ```
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 | ## Build Support
|
| 19 | To use the bundling tasks, add the following to your gulpfile.js
|
| 20 |
|
| 21 | ```javascript
|
| 22 | // gulpfile.js
|
| 23 | const gulp = require('gulp');
|
| 24 | const configure = require("essex.powerbi.base/dist/build_scripts").default;
|
| 25 | configure(gulp, __dirname);
|
| 26 | ```
