A lightweight router for the Power BI JavaScript SDK which allows a hosting application to register routes to extend and integrate with Power BI embedded components.

powerbi-router

Router for Microsoft Power BI. Given an http method and url pattern call the matching handler with the request and response object. Syntax matches common libraries such as express and restify. This library uses Route-recognizer to handle pattern matching such as /root/path/:name where name will be passed as paramter to the handler.

  return app.getPages()
    .then(pages => {
      response.send(200, pages);
    });
