Parameters as Collections, how to pass this data

[SasukeProNoob]

Hello!!

Pretty nice!! the work done with ReportBro, but im still wondering about de DATA inside. All the Reports designer i have been used works with a string connection with the DataBase, here how it is?? If i have a large kind of data to show in several pages, i have to paginate or send all the data as a parameter, i think this is not a good idea. If i going to by a comercial license i want to know if this going to work. Thanks! Fabián.

Hi,

it is basically up to you how you transfer the data for report generation. You can either send the whole data as an ajax request from the client (as it is done for report preview) or you can fetch the data on the server as you can see in the demo application:

https://www.reportbro.com/docs/setup

I'd recommend the latter because the data is usually on the server anyway and you avoid sending large requests. You just need to send minimal data (like year parameter in the demo app, or some id etc.) and then query the data in your controller function and pass it to report generation.
