Methods

addEventListener

  • addEventListener(type: TableauEventType, listener: EventListenerOrEventListenerObject, options?: boolean | AddEventListenerOptions): void
  • Adds an event listener to the specified event.

    async function getSelectedMarks(event) {
        const marksSelected = await event.detail.getMarksAsync();
        const numMarks = marksSelected.data[0].data.length;
        console.log(`${numMarks} marks Selected`);
    }
    
    let viz = document.getElementById('tableauViz');
    viz.addEventListener("markselectionchanged", getSelectedMarks);

    Parameters

    • type: TableauEventType
    • listener: EventListenerOrEventListenerObject
    • Optional options: boolean | AddEventListenerOptions

    Returns void

addFilter

  • addFilter(fieldName: string, value: string): void
  • Use this method to filter the viz before initialization. If used after initialization, it will re-render the viz. For filtering after initialization, use the other filtering methods, such as applyFilterAsync.

    If you add the same filter fields using the addFilter() method and by using the <viz-filter> element in the <tableau-viz> web component, you might experience unexpected behavior.

    Parameters

    • fieldName: string

      The name of the field to filter on.

    • value: string

      Single value or a list of comma separated values to filter on.

      viz.addFilter('Region', 'Central,West');

    Returns void

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<void>

Note: exportCrosstabAsync resolves when a download is initiated. It does not indicate that a download was successful or if the download was complete.
