Platen Reports

JSON-defined, SQL-driven PDF reporting for .NET, with a graphical designer.

Named for the platen — the plate in a press that pushes paper against the type.

Status: 0.x, pre-release. Nothing here is stable yet. Minor versions may break. See docs/versioning.md.

What it is

A report is a JSON definition: a tree of containers, rows, columns, tables and fields, bound to data. The engine loads a definition, pulls its data through a provider, and renders a PDF. The designer is a React component that edits those definitions visually.

Data reaches the engine through one port — IReportDataProvider.LoadAsync, returning a nested Dictionary<string, object?>. The engine itself touches no database, no ORM, and no SQL. Whatever can fill that dictionary can drive a report.

Package Registry What
PlatenReports.Core NuGet Definition model, binding, rendering pipeline
PlatenReports.Sql NuGet SQL data provider
PlatenReports.Pdf NuGet PDF layout + output
@platen-reports/designer npm React report designer

All packages in this repository share one version and are released in lockstep. Equal versions are conformant — pin both sides to the same number.

Non-goals

These are out of scope by decision, not by omission. Scope creep into a general reporting product is this project's top risk, and the list exists so that "couldn't we also…" has a standing answer.

  • No charts. No bar, line, or pie rendering. Reports are documents.
  • No banded reports. No report/group/detail band model — the layout is a container tree, not a banded canvas, and the two do not merge cleanly.
  • No scheduler. Nothing here runs reports on a timer, queues them, or mails them. That is the host's job, and every host already has one.
  • No free-positioning canvas. The designer edits a flow layout. Absolute x/y placement is not coming; it makes definitions unmaintainable across page sizes and locales.
  • No joins in definitions. A definition names a query; it does not compose one. Relational work belongs in SQL, authored in files, reviewed like code.

A feature request that needs one of these is not a small change to Platen Reports — it is a different product.
