Backend-only report generation

Post by jayro.boy »

Hello!

I have been tasked with creating a REST API at work to generate several types of reports for our different products, that these products will then serve to customers/end-users. Therefore, I need to generate reports based on pre-made configurations(We have a bucket with .mrt files) and serve these reports in response to http requests, without rendering them on the client-side, since the clients for the requests will themselves be APIs. Reading the PHP docs for Stimulsoft, however, it seems completely oriented to client-side, JS-based reports, with PHP existing only to invoke some JS functions.
My question, I suppose, is:

Where can I find resources explaining how to generate the reports and serve them via HTTP responses? Or is this not possible?

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

Unfortunately, it is not possible, we do not have native PHP components.
In that task, you can use node-js server side.

Thank you.
