rasper_client

Ruby client to ‘rasper_server <github.com/rodrigomanhaes/rasper_server>`_.

Installation

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile

gem ‘rasper_client’

And then execute

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as

$ gem install rasper_client

Usage

Create a rasper client object, giving host and port

client = RasperClient::Client.new(host: ‘host’, port: 3000)

Having a client, you can add a report to server, passing a name, JRXML report

file content and, optionally, the images to be embedded in the report

client.add(name: ‘programmers’, content: ‘content of JRXML’,

images: [{ name: 'image1.jpg', content: 'content of image1' },
         { name: 'image2.jpg', content: 'content of image2' }])

For avoiding errors related to the request size, “rasper_client“ supports

adding images separately

client.add(images: [{ name: ‘imagem.jpg’, content: image_content }])

With the report uploaded, it’s possible generate PDF reports

client.generate(name: ‘programmers’,

data: [
  { name: 'Linus', software: 'Linux' },
  { name: 'Yukihiro', software: 'Ruby' },
  { name: 'Guido', software: 'Python' }
],
parameters: { 'DATE' => 'January 12, 2013' })

The keys for “data“‘s inner hashes are report-specific. The parameters’ keys are report-specific, and are mandatory if report has parameters with no default values.
