i-AUD Developer Kit

1. Setting Up the Report Development Environment

1.1 Open VS Code in the Working Directory

cd D:\aud_report
code .

1.2 Download seed project

https://rnd.bimatrix.co.kr/aud7/AUD_DEV_SEED_PROJECT.zip

1.3 Configure Local Development Server

Create a .vscode/settings.json file and add the following content:

{
    "aud.config": {
        "SourcePath": "D:\\aud_report\\src\\reports\\", // Root path for report source files
        "OutputPath": "D:\\aud_report\\out\\reports\\", // Output directory
        "ServiceURL": "http://aaa.com:8080",  // Server address
        "UserName": "{your account name}",  // Account name
        "ApiKey": "{your api key}",  // API Key
        "AutoBuild": false,     // Automatically build all sources when saving (Recommended: use `tsc --w` feature.)
        "MX_GRID_BACKUP": true, // Whether to download MX-GRID information
        "MX_GRID_JSON_PRETTY": true  // Whether to automatically format the MX-GRID JSON model
    }
}

Note: Obtain your ApiKey from Admin > System Management > Application Management.

2. Report Development Process

2.1 Launch i-AUD Designer and Save a New Report

• Enter @HELLO_AUD@AUD Sample in the report name field.
• This report will be saved with the code HELLO_AUD and the name AUD Sample.

2.2 Create a Folder for the Report

Create a folder to store the AUD Sample report. Example:

D:\aud_report\src\reports\HELLO_AUD

2.3 Create the Report Configuration File (.aud.json)

This file must contain the ReportCode value that matches the actual report code. Example:

//D:\aud_report\src\reports\HELLO_AUD\.aud.json
{
    "ReportCode": "HELLO_AUD" 
}

2.4 Import the Report

Press Ctrl + Shift + P to open the command palette, then run AUD: Import Report. This will fetch detailed report information from the server, update the configuration file, and automatically generate additional development folders. Example:

• ./HELLO_AUD.mtsd: i-AUD report file
• ./ServerScript/*.ts: Server script files
• ./DataSource/*.sql, *.ts: Data source SQL files
• ./MX_GRID/*.json2: MX-GRID design files
• ./MX_GRID/*.xlsx: Original MX-GRID Excel files
• ./MX_GRID/*.ds: MX-GRID data source files

//D:\aud_report\src\reports\HELLO_AUD\.aud.json
{
    "ReportCode": "HELLO_AUD",  
    "ReportName": "AUD Sample",
    "Writer": "aud_developer",
    "WriteDate": "2025-02-20 19:38:03",
    "Editor": "aud_developer",
    "EditDate": "2025-02-20 19:38:03",
    "DocumentVersion": "3.0.0.0"
}

2.5 Enable TypeScript Compilation

Run the following command in the terminal to enable automatic TypeScript compilation:

tsc --w

3. Using VS Code Commands

Press Ctrl + Shift + P to open the command palette, type AUD, and use the following commands:

• AUD: Import Report

  • Downloads report information from the server to your local PC.

• AUD: Save Script

  • Saves the report, including scripts, to the development server.
  • (Only script modifications are updated.)

• AUD: Run Designer

  • Opens the report in the i-AUD Designer in a web browser.

• AUD: Upload Report

  • Used for version control with GIT or deploying the report to another server.
  • Uploads and saves the current report.

• AUD: Generate Starter Code

  • Generates example source code for ServerScript and Client Script.

• AUD: Convert to JavaScript

  • Converts the selected code into JavaScript array string format.
  • Useful for converting SQL to JavaScript.

Follow these steps to set up your development environment and start working on reports.
