rasper_client

Ruby client to rasper_server <https://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.
