This sample project demonstrates how REST API calls work with ReactJS and showcases a React component that can be used to display a log of all REST API calls.

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

This React project authenticates a user, retrieves and displays a list of users linked to a specific REST server, and allows the authenticated user to view and edit data for a user selected from the list. It also displays a log of all REST API calls that are made while the project is in use.

This REST API authenticates a user. It creates a MicroStrategy session using credentials for the user and a specified authorization mode. It returns an authToken, which will be used by subsequent REST API calls. I

This REST API returns a list of users belonging to the Intelligence Server that is used by the project.

This REST API returns a single user, from the list of users, based on the user ID.

This REST API makes a partial change to a single user, from the list of users, based on the user ID.

This project contains the following folders and files:

• src

  • This folder contains all the javascript code for the sample, as well as CSS and image files (.png and .svg).

• package.json/package-lock.json

  • This is the node.js configuration/dependency file.

• public

  • This is the default public folder that is generated when a React app is created.

To set up the sample:

• Open a Command Prompt window in Windows or a Terminal in Mac.

• Install the required node modules

• Navigate to the project location and run npm install.

Leave the Command Prompt window or Terminal open. After you have configured the sample, you will use this window to start the app.

...
  const DEFAULT_USERNAME = 'enter your user name';

  const DEFAULT_PASSWORD = 'enter your password';

  const DEFAULT_REST_SERVER = 'http://your MicroStrategy Library server name and port/consume-dev/api/';

  const initState = {users: null, username: DEFAULT_USERNAME, password: DEFAULT_PASSWORD, url: DEFAULT_REST_SERVER, loginToken: null};

  const store = createStore(reducer, initState, window.__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION__ && window.__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION__());
...

• Enter the username you want to log in with as the value of the DEFAULT_USERNAME constant.
• Enter the password you want to log in with as the value of the DEFAULT_PASSWORD constant.
• Enter the name and port for your MicroStrategy Library installation in the path for the DEFAULT_REST_SERVER constant.

• On the left of the app is a section for a List of Users, where users that belong to the Intelligence Server linked to the project will be displayed
• In the middle is a section where User Properties for a user selected from the list will be displayed. This information can be edited and saved.
• On the right is the REST Call Logsection where REST API calls will be listed as they are made, beginning with authentication.

The app pulls the list of users from the Intelligence Server and displays them under List of Users on the left.

You can change the name in the text box. When you press Enter, the user properties are updated.

In the project directory, you can run:

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
