@gooddata/gdc-embed-gdui

A Node utility for embedding Insights created in Analytical Designer onto pixel-perfect dashboards

This util logs into the GoodData platform and lets user choose a project and an insight created in Analytical Designer. It then generates the following files:

• index.html
• gooddata_react_components_bundle.js
• gooddata_react_components_bundle.css

To create the js and css file, vanillajs bundler was used with @gooddata/[email protected].

When the three (3) files above are generated, they can be uploaded to some secure (HTTPS) hosting (e.g. Amazon S3 bucket) and index.html can be used as a source URL for Web Content component on a pixel-perfect dashboard.

❗️Hostname URL must be enabled as CORS origin for the GoodData domain. If CORS is not set up, contact GoodData Support.❗️

2. Copy the URL of index.html.
3. Visit a pixel-perfect dashboard, go to Edit mode, add a Web Content component and paste the URL.
