powerbi global object not found in typescript - powerbi

Question

I am trying to use this power bi below code where powerbi object not found error is getting in my typescript code:
// Read embed application token from textbox
var txtAccessToken = $('#txtAccessToken').val();
// Read embed URL from textbox
var txtEmbedUrl = $('#txtReportEmbed').val();
// Read report Id from textbox
var txtEmbedReportId = $('#txtEmbedReportId').val();
// Read embed type from radio
var tokenType = $('input:radio[name=tokenType]:checked').val();
// Get models. models contains enums that can be used.
var models = window['powerbi-client'].models;
// We give All permissions to demonstrate switching between View and Edit mode and saving report.
var permissions = models.Permissions.All;
// Embed configuration used to describe the what and how to embed.
// This object is used when calling powerbi.embed.
// This also includes settings and options such as filters.
// You can find more information at https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-JavaScript/wiki/Embed-Configuration-Details.
var config= {
type: 'report',
tokenType: tokenType == '0' ? models.TokenType.Aad : models.TokenType.Embed,
accessToken: txtAccessToken,
embedUrl: txtEmbedUrl,
id: txtEmbedReportId,
permissions: permissions,
settings: {
filterPaneEnabled: true,
navContentPaneEnabled: true
}
};
// Get a reference to the embedded report HTML element
var embedContainer = $('#embedContainer')[0];
// Embed the report and display it within the div container.
var report = powerbi.embed(embedContainer, config);
// Report.off removes a given event handler if it exists.
report.off("loaded");
// Report.on will add an event handler which prints to Log window.
report.on("loaded", function() {
Log.logText("Loaded");
});
report.on("error", function(event) {
Log.log(event.detail);
report.off("error");
});
report.off("saved");
report.on("saved", function(event) {
Log.log(event.detail);
if(event.detail.saveAs) {
Log.logText('In order to interact with the new report, create a new token and load the new report');
}
});
in the above code the powerbi object shows not found in my typescript code: powerbi.embed(embedContainer, config);
I tried to use window['powerbi'] or window.powerbi but doesn't work. What should be the solution then?

Answer 1

I faced a similar issue a few weeks back (probably exactly the same). For me it seems that what works is using window.powerbi.embed() for the embed action, whereas the import import * as powerbi from "powerbi-client"; is used for all other Power BI objects.

I had the same problem, found this question through a google search. I wasn't able to figure out why it wasn't on the window, but as a work around you can initialize it yourself like this:
import * as pbi from "powerbi-client";
const powerbi = new pbi.service.Service(
pbi.factories.hpmFactory,
pbi.factories.wpmpFactory,
pbi.factories.routerFactory
);
const container = document.getElementById("report-container");
powerbi.embed(container, embedConfiguration);
