Integrate commercial CanvasJs into CI

[Zoltan Eszlari]

Dear CanvasJS team!

We want to use CanvasJS in our production, so we bought a team license from you. After that I able to download the commercial version from My Account page.

Now I have to integrate this commercial CanvasJS packages (@canvasjs/charts, @canvasjs/angular-charts) into our CI system, where among others SBOM and vulnerability reports are automatically generated for all used packages based on package.json and package-lock.json files. However, if I follow the commercial package instruction and I copy these commercial packages to source-folder, we can use the pre-activated commercial version, but unfortunately our CI system is not able to track these packages automatically.

In case I upload commercial CanvasJS to our Artifactory (npm registry), the package name and versions will conflict with the non-commercial version during npm package downloading or updating.

In case I copy commercial CanvasJS to source-folder, can I add a reference to it in the package.json file?

Do you know of any way to integrate this into a CI system?

@eszlariz2,

You can host the commercial version of the CanvasJS chart package (@canvasjs/charts) on your own server by following these steps:

1. Compress the package into a .tar.gz file.
2. Upload the compressed file to your server.
3. In your package.json, reference the package using the URL of your server, like this:

@canvasjs/charts": "https://your-server.com/packages/canvasjs-charts-v3.10.16.tar.gz

This approach avoids conflicts with public npm versions and integrates smoothly into your CI system. Please refer to this article for more information.
