# Superset Embedded SDK
|
|
|
|
The Embedded SDK allows you to embed dashboards from Superset into your own app,
|
|
using your app's authentication.
|
|
|
|
Embedding is done by inserting an iframe, containing a Superset page, into the host application.
|
|
|
|
## Embedding a Dashboard
|
|
|
|
Using npm:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm install --save @superset-ui/embedded-sdk
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import { embedDashboard } from "@superset-ui/embedded-sdk";
|
|
|
|
embedDashboard({
|
|
id: "abc123", // given by the Superset embedding UI
|
|
supersetDomain: "https://superset.example.com",
|
|
mountPoint: document.getElementById("my-superset-container"), // any html element that can contain an iframe
|
|
fetchGuestToken: () => fetchGuestTokenFromBackend(),
|
|
dashboardUiConfig: { // dashboard UI config: hideTitle, hideTab, hideChartControls, filters.visible, filters.expanded (optional)
|
|
hideTitle: true,
|
|
filters: {
|
|
expanded: true,
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also load the Embedded SDK from a CDN. The SDK will be available as `supersetEmbeddedSdk` globally:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@superset-ui/embedded-sdk"></script>
|
|
|
|
<script>
|
|
supersetEmbeddedSdk.embedDashboard({
|
|
// ... here you supply the same parameters as in the example above
|
|
});
|
|
</script>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Authentication/Authorization with Guest Tokens
|
|
|
|
Embedded resources use a special auth token called a Guest Token to grant Superset access to your users,
|
|
without requiring your users to log in to Superset directly. Your backend must create a Guest Token
|
|
by requesting Superset's `POST /security/guest_token` endpoint, and pass that guest token to your frontend.
|
|
|
|
The Embedding SDK takes the guest token and use it to embed a dashboard.
|
|
|
|
### Creating a Guest Token
|
|
|
|
From the backend, http `POST` to `/security/guest_token` with some parameters to define what the guest token will grant access to.
|
|
Guest tokens can have Row Level Security rules which filter data for the user carrying the token.
|
|
|
|
The agent making the `POST` request must be authenticated with the `can_grant_guest_token` permission.
|
|
|
|
Within your app, using the Guest Token will then allow authentication to your Superset instance via creating an Anonymous user object. This guest anonymous user will default to the public role as per this setting `GUEST_ROLE_NAME = "Public"`.
|
|
+
|
|
+The user parameters in the example below are optional and are provided as a means of passing user attributes that may be accessed in jinja templates inside your charts.
|
|
|
|
Example `POST /security/guest_token` payload:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"user": {
|
|
"username": "stan_lee",
|
|
"first_name": "Stan",
|
|
"last_name": "Lee"
|
|
},
|
|
"resources": [{
|
|
"type": "dashboard",
|
|
"id": "abc123"
|
|
}],
|
|
"rls": [
|
|
{ "clause": "publisher = 'Nintendo'" }
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
