Platform JavaScript APIs

The Platform JavaScript APIs support the development of JavaScript components for the Pentaho platform:

1. Standardizes in cross-cutting areas, such as data and visualization, but also on lower-level areas, such as configuration, localization and services.
2. Exposes key platform information and services to JavaScript components.

The APIs are organized as follows:

• Core

  • Environment

    Platform environmental information.

  • Modules

    Provides metadata about JavaScript modules.

  • Configuration

    Allows JavaScript modules to be configured by third-parties.

  • Debugging

    Controls the debugging level of JavaScript modules.

  • Localization

    Enables loading of i18n resource bundles.

  • Theming

    Coordinates themes registration and application.

  • Language Support

    API building blocks for JavaScript.

• Pentaho Web Platform

  • Pentaho Web Package
