Quick create blank visual using the Power BI client Javascript Library

Hello all,

Has anyone managed to create blank visual using the Power BI client Javascript Library, then append it to report, so it is possible to be selected and rendered alongside the other visuals ?

@StanilC So like a Custom visual that you compile into a .pbiviz file and then import it into Desktop?

Hello @Greg_Deckler ,
Thank you for the reply. I am working on a project that embeds in it Power BI. I need to create feature similar to this one: https://playground.powerbi.com/en-us/showcases-gallery/quick-visual-creator . The issue is that the docs in Microsoft are currently really poor and I find it extremely hard to work on it. It is more like guessing game what would work, and unfortunately not successful so far at it. I found this in one of the microsoft learn page, but it does not say where all this come from :

let createVisualResponse = await page.createVisual('areaChart');
let visual = createVisualResponse.visual;

@StanilC Pretty sure that is just something they came up with for that website to allow you to easily mock-up visuals and is not something that you can just integrate into your own site.
