charts on the fly

qlik-embed 1.2.0 adds the popular charts on the fly feature to the analytics/chart ui. This allows you to generate charts from data in a Qlik Sense app, without the chart existing in the app. You pass a definition, and the chart is created as requested by your web app.

Here’s an example using qlik-embed web components:

<qlik-embed
  id="visualization"
  ui="analytics/chart"
  app-id="<appid>"
  type="barchart"
  dimensions='["Dimension1"]'
  measures='["Measure1", "=Sum(Expression2)", "=Avg(Expression2)"]'
  properties='{ orientation: "horizontal", barGrouping: { grouping: "stacked" } }'
></qlik-embed>

Note: charts on the fly works only with charts available in the analytics/chart ui in qlik-embed. Please consult the chart compatibility table for a list of compatible charts. Use the Viz on the fly ID for the type property.

Update for using context property

Previously an html attribute to the <qlik-embed /> tag could include :json or :number to indicate which type the string in the attribute should be parsed to. In some environments the : is not allowed as a html parameter so it is now possible to also use ___ (triple underscore) as a delimiter.

This means you can now set context like this: <qlik-embed context___json='{ theme: "Breeze" }' ... /> and it will be parsed as json.
