Explo | Customer-facing analytics for any platform

Step 1: Import Explo JS library

Add Explo’s script tag to the <head> of your index.html

index.html

<script src="https://embed.explo.co/bundle.js"></script>

Step 2. Embed the web component

What is the web component?

The Explo web component is a custom HTML element. This means that it functions as a native HTML element and can be used in any web development context. You can read more about custom HTML elements here.

Where can I use the component?

Since the web component is a custom HTML element, you can use it in any context:

Directly in an HTML file
Define it in vanilla JS
Any JS web framework: React, Vue, Angular, etc

Embedding the component

The embed component takes in a few different properties. The component is backward-compatible with the previous V1 syntax and V0 syntax, but we recommend using the V2 (embed secret) syntax. Read more about embed secrets here.

<explo-report-builder
    jwt="<your-jwt>"
    environment="prod"
    variables={JSON.stringify({ element1: 'value', element2: 'value2' })}
    locale-code="fr-fr">
</explo-report-builder>

<explo-report-builder
    report-builder-token="<report_builder_id>:<customer_token>"
    environment="prod"
    variables={JSON.stringify({ element1: 'value', element2: 'value2' })}
    locale-code="fr-fr">
</explo-report-builder>

Please also note these instructions when embedding a report builder.

Component Attributes

Attribute Name	Type	Description
jwt (recommended)	string	This is the embed secret (JWT) for the report builder. We recommend you use this attribute instead of the `report-builder-token`. Read more about embed secrets here.
report-builder-token	string	This is a string with two values concatenated together: (1) the `report_builder_id` and (2) the `customer_token`. You should concatenate them with a colon between them like so: `"<report_builder_id>:<customer_token>"`. We recommend you use the `jwt` instead of this attribute, but it is still supported.
environment	string	This lets you specify the environment version that the web component is being embedded in: “production”, “staging”, “development”, etc. If environment is not specified, it will render the most recent saved version of the report builder.
variables	string	This argument allows you to pass in values for variables on your report builder. This will result in default values for any variables and UI dropdowns on the report builder. Note that you must pass in a stringified JSON object using `JSON.stringify(variablesObject)`, unless you are embedding directly in an HTML file.
locale-code	string	An optional argument that overrides any text localization settings for your team. This will localize your report builder’s numbers and dates to the desired locale, if supported. Check out support languages here.
currency-code	string	An optional argument that overrides any currency localization settings for your team. This will localize your report builder’s currency symbols and format to the desired locale, if supported. Check out support currencies here.
timezone	string	An optional argument that allows you to specify a timezone to display dates in. Valid values can be found here.
theme	string	An optional argument that lets you manage multiple style/theme profiles within Explo. If not provided, uses the “default” theme.

Typescript Type Definition

If you are using TypeScript, define the embedded component within the global namespace. This needs to be defined at the top of each TypeScript file that uses the explo-report-builder component. You may need to exclude this block from your lint rules (e.g. @typescript-eslint/no-namespace)

declare global {
    namespace JSX {
        interface IntrinsicElements {
            'explo-report-builder': unknown;
        }
    }
}
