Backend-only report generation
Posted: Tue Aug 15, 2023 6:32 pm
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!
