Adding External Libraries

• Including JavaScript files
• Including CSS files

Including JavaScript files

1. Install an external JavaScript library by using any package manager (npm, yarn, etc.)
2. Include a path of the library to the externalJS property of the pbiviz.json

Please pay attention to this if you'd like to add typings for your JavaScript file to get intellisense and compile time safety on them.

Example

• Installing d3 by using npm

npm install d3@4.9.1 --save

• Including d3 to the pbiviz.json

{
  "visual": {...},
  "apiVersion": ...,
  "author": {...},
  "assets": {...},
  "externalJS": [
    "node_modules/d3/d3.min.js"
  ],
  "style": ...,
  "capabilities": ...,
  "dependencies": ...
}
