EasyBI

Self-service BI for WPF. You declare what can be analyzed; your users build their charts, tables and dashboards by drag and drop, inside your application.

A dashboard of the sample: key indicators, combined charts, a matrix, cross-filtering

Get started See the sample

In three steps

var model = SemanticModel.For(sales, "sales", "Sales")
    .Dimension(s => s.Date, "Date")
    .Dimension(s => s.Region, "Region")
    .Measure(s => s.Amount, "Revenue", format: "#,##0 €");

Context = EasyBIContext.Create()
    .AddModel(model)
    .UseRenderer(new LiveCharts2Renderer());

<bi:ReportDesigner Context="{Binding Context}" Visual="{Binding Visual}" />

What your users get

  • A designer

    The designer

    Fields dragged onto wells, a dozen types of visuals, a properties panel, undo and redo.

    The designer

  • Dashboards

    A dashboard

    Visuals arranged and resized by drag and drop, filled by dragging fields, with global filters and cross-filtering.

    Dashboard

  • Their own measures

    The formula editor

    Formulas such as SUM([Revenue]; [Region] = "North") / [Revenue], with an editor that suggests what can be written.

    Calculated measures

  • Your look

    The sample in WPF UI's dark theme

    Light and dark, following WPF UI or Material Design. English and French, switched at runtime.

    Theming

Built for developers

  • One query per visual, in your database. Filters, grouping, aggregates, sort and Top N stay in the IQueryable: with EF Core, one SQL statement per visual, whatever the size of the table.
  • Plain records and JSON. Visuals and reports are immutable records, saved in a documented, versioned format (easybi/v1).
  • Open everywhere. Lookless controls made of slots, rules on what users may change, your own chart connector and visual types.

How it works

flowchart LR
  source["Your data<br/>IQueryable"] --> model["Semantic model<br/><i>you declare it</i>"]
  model --> visual["Visual<br/><i>users build it</i>"]
  visual --> query["Query<br/><i>in your database</i>"]
  query --> chart["Chart<br/><i>LiveCharts2, OxyPlot...</i>"]
Package Role
EasyBI.Wpf The controls: designer, visual, dashboard, filter bar, field list. Brings EasyBI.Core (query engine, JSON) and EasyBI.Abstractions (the records).
EasyBI.Renderers.LiveCharts2 Draws the charts with LiveCharts2.
