Power BI React component. This library enables you to embed Power BI reports, dashboards, dashboard tiles, report visuals, Q&A or paginated reports in your React application, and to create new Power BI reports directly in your application.
import { PowerBIEmbed } from 'powerbi-client-react';
<PowerBIEmbed
embedConfig = {{
type: 'report', // Supported types: report, dashboard, tile, visual, qna, paginated report and create
id: '<Report Id>',
embedUrl: '<Embed Url>',
accessToken: '<Access Token>',
tokenType: models.TokenType.Embed, // Use models.TokenType.Aad for SaaS embed
settings: {
panes: {
filters: {
expanded: false,
visible: false
}
},
background: models.BackgroundType.Transparent,
}
}}
eventHandlers = {
new Map([
['loaded', function () {console.log('Report loaded');}],
['rendered', function () {console.log('Report rendered');}],
['error', function (event) {console.log(event.detail);}],
['visualClicked', () => console.log('visual clicked')],
['pageChanged', (event) => console.log(event)],
])
}
cssClassName = { "reportClass" }
getEmbeddedComponent = { (embeddedReport) => {
this.report = embeddedReport as Report;
}}
/>
How to bootstrap a PowerBI report:
<PowerBIEmbed
embedConfig = {{
type: 'report', // Supported types: report, dashboard, tile, visual, qna and paginated report
id: undefined,
embedUrl: undefined,
accessToken: undefined, // Keep as empty string, null or undefined
tokenType: models.TokenType.Embed
}}
/>
Note: To embed the report after bootstrap, update the props (with at least accessToken).
This demo includes a React application that demonstrates the complete flow of embedding a sample report using the PowerBIEmbed component.
The demo shows how to bootstrap the report, embed it, and update it. Additionally, the demo showcases the usage of the powerbi report authoring library by enabling the user to change the type of visual from a report using the "Change visual type" button.
The demo also sets a "DataSelected" event, which allows the user to interact with the embedded report and retrieve information about the selected data.
To run the demo on localhost, run the following commands:
npm run demo

Use case | Details |
---|---|
Embed Power BI | To embed your powerbi artifact, pass the component with atleast type, embedUrl and accessToken in embedConfig prop. |
Get reference to the embedded object | Pass a callback method which accepts the embedded object as parameter to the getEmbeddedComponent of props. Refer to the getEmbeddedComponent prop in Quick Start. |
Apply style class | Pass the name(s) of style classes to be added to the embed container div to the cssClassName props. |
Set event handlers | Pass a map object of event name (string) and event handler (function) to the eventHandlers prop. Key: Event name Value: Event handler method to be triggered Event handler method takes 2 optional params: First parameter: Event Second parameter: Reference to the embedded entity |
Reset event handlers | To reset event handler for an event, set the event handler's value as null in the eventHandlers map of props. |
Set new accessToken | To set new accessToken in the same embedded powerbi artifact, pass the updated accessToken in embedConfig of props. Reload manually with report.reload() after providing new token if the current token in report has already expired Example scenario: Current token has expired. |
Update settings (Report type only) | To update the report settings, update the embedConfig.settings property of props. Refer to the embedConfig.settings prop in Quick Start. Note: Update the settings only by updating embedConfig prop |
Bootstrap Power BI | To bootstrap your powerbi entity, pass the props to the component without accessToken in embedConfig. Note: embedConfig of props should at least contain type of the powerbi entity being embedded. Available types: "report", "dashboard", "tile", "visual", "qna" and "paginated report". Refer to How to bootstrap a report section in Quick Start. |
Using with PowerBI Report Authoring | 1. Install powerbi-report-authoring as npm dependency. 2. Use the report authoring APIs using the embedded report's instance |
Phased embedding (Report type only) | Set phasedEmbedding prop's value as true Refer to Phased embedding docs. |
Apply Filters (Report type only) | 1. To apply updated filters, update filters in embedConfig props. 2. To remove the applied filters, update the embedConfig prop with the filters removed or set as undefined/null. |
Set Page (Report type only) | To set a page when embedding a report or on an embedded report, provide pageName field in the embedConfig. |
Create report | To create a new report, pass the component with at least type, embedUrl and datasetId in embedConfig prop. |
Note: To use this library in IE browser, use react-app-polyfill to add support for the incompatible features. Refer to the imports of demo/index.tsx.

Import the 'PowerBIEmbed' inside your targeted component file:
import { PowerBIEmbed } from 'powerbi-client-react';
You can use report
state to call supported SDK APIs.
Steps:
-
Create one state for storing the report object, for example,
const [report, setReport] = useState<Report>();
. -
Use the
setReport
method inside the component to set the report object.
<PowerBIEmbed
embedConfig = { sampleReportConfig }
eventHandlers = { eventHandlersMap }
cssClassName = { reportClass }
getEmbeddedComponent = { (embedObject: Embed) => {
setReport(embedObject as Report);
} }
/>
- Once the report object is set, it can be used to call SDK methods such as
getVisuals
,getBookmarks
, etc.
async getReportPages(): Page[] {
// this.report is a class variable, initialized in step 3
const activePage: Page | undefined = await report.getActivePage();
console.log(pages);
