Tableau API
This is a version of the JavaScript API for Tableau wrapped as an NPM module.
##Â Usage
To use this module:
npm install --save tableau-api
Then, require it in your code:
var tableau = require('tableau-api');
Or import it directly:
import tableau from "tableau-api";
Once imported, you'll need to add it as follows:
initTableau() {
const vizUrl =
"https://public.tableau.com/views/VacationHome/VacationHome?:embed=y&:display_count=yes";
const options = {
hideTabs: true,
width: "700px",
height: "800px",
onFirstInteractive: () => {
const sheet = viz.getWorkbook().getActiveSheet().getWorksheets().get("Table");
const options = {
ignoreAliases: false,
ignoreSelection: false,
includeAllColumns: false
};
sheet.getUnderlyingDataAsync(options).then((t) => {
const tableauData = t.getData();
let data = [];
const pointCount = tableauData.length;
for(let a = 0; a < pointCount; a++ ) {
data = data.concat({
x: tableauData[a][0].value,
y: Math.round(tableauData[a][3].value,2)
})
};
})
}
};
let viz = new window.tableau.Viz(this.container, vizUrl, options);
This will provide you with the most up-to-date functionality in the API.
Refer to the API documentation for the details on how to use it.
