An open-source platform for designing and rendering various reports.

jsreport is a reporting server letting developers define reports using javascript templating engines like handlebars. It supports various report output formats like html, pdf, excel, docx, and others. It also includes advanced reporting features like user management, REST API, scheduling, designer, or sending emails.

You can find more information on the official project website https://jsreport.net

Basic installation from the npm

npm install -g @jsreport/jsreport-cli
jsreport init
jsreport configure
jsreport start

You can also download compiled binary or pull from the official docker images. See https://jsreport.net/on-prem for the details.

See the https://jsreport.net/learn for an overview of concepts, guides, clients, and general documentation.

The jsreport official distribution in npm, docker, or compiled binary includes the most commonly used extensions. However, the list of available extensions is much longer, and you may want to install some of the missing ones as well. See the list of available packages here or in the documentation.

You are also not limited to extensions we provide to you. You can implement your extensions. See the Implementing custom extension article.

You can find documentation for adapting this jsreport distribution using nodejs and also information for integrating it into an existing nodejs application in the article adapting jsreport.

The official jsreport distribution wires the most popular extensions into the ready-to-use package. However, if you are skilled, you are free to start from the ground using jsreport-core.

We use yarn to manage the monorepo. The basic workflow is the following

git clone https://github.com/jsreport/jsreport
yarn install
yarn start

The tests for the individual package runs the following way

yarn workspace @jsreport/jsreport-scripts test

The studio extensions development with the hot reload can be started using

set NODE_ENV=jsreport-development&&yarn start

• adding more features to docx/pptx/xlsx recipes
• pdf compression
• version control extension direct git integration and improvements
• studio editor intellisense
• html-to-xlsx - images, filters...

More in the backlog.

We guarantee every release is stable and has 0 vulnerabilities mentioned in the npm audit. Please wait until we release the next version with the dependencies update when you see a security warning in your audit. There is no need to create a ticket for it. In case you see a direct impact on jsreport security that you can replicate, please send us an email to [email protected] and we will make sure it's fixed ASAP. Note there is no need to panic when there is a vulnerability mentioned in the audit because it is the most likely in the code path that is not used. A typical example of a vulnerability is an eventual DDoS attack through a dependency parsing some internal config, which in fact can't happen and isn't a vulnerability at all.
