End users love the addition of Yellowfin as it simplifies the process of creating actionable data that don't need developers anytime they need to create a new report.
As Yellowfin can work across multiple data sources, it also adds a rich reporting layer, without having to add in additional data sources into your existing application. Yellowfin has an OEM program for developers, enabling the full power of Yellowfin to become available under special licensing.
The purpose of the samples is to help developers to kickstart their integration with Yellowfin, and provide "ready to copy" backend logic that wraps up key Yellowfin API calls. This repo includes both a VCL (Windows) and FMX (cross-platform) examples, both built on the same code, providing similar functionality. The samples have examples to:
- Fetch a selected list of reports (Either All, Your Reports, Your Favourite or, Draft)
- View the report metadata (fields, data types, filter options)
- View the report data
- Download a HTML, PDF, or XLS version of the report
Additionally, TYFUserMethods has class function methods to
- Create Users
- Set/reset Passwords
- Test the default values entered (ie Test a login if using the YF User Accounts)
This sample uses TWebBrowser. To enable this to work correctly on Windows, you need to have the WebView2Loader.dll in the application folder / on the path. When building your application for the first time, it is important to ensure this file is present at runtime. If the file is not available, please copy if from the Embarcadero install (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\Redist\ and then copy with the one from Win32 or Win64 depending on the platform)
Unit YF.SOAP.Defaults contains a singleton instance call for TYFDefaults. The initialisation of this unit sets up this object with the Yellowfin trial default details.
