GroupDocs.Viewer.UI.Cloud.Api.Sample

Cloud API Sample

This sample demonstrates using the GroupDocs Cloud API for document rendering instead of the local self-host API. Documents are rendered server-side via the GroupDocs Cloud service, so no local rendering engine is required.

What This Sample Shows

• Configuring AddGroupDocsViewerCloudApi() with Cloud API credentials
• Using the Cloud API backend for document rendering
• Local file storage and cache with cloud-based rendering

Prerequisites

• .NET 8.0 SDK or later
• A GroupDocs Cloud account with API credentials (Client ID and Client Secret)

Getting Cloud API Credentials

1. Sign up at GroupDocs Cloud Dashboard
2. Create an application to get your Client ID and Client Secret

Running

1. Update credentials in Program.cs:

   var clientId = "your-client-id";
   var clientSecret = "your-client-secret";

2. Run the sample:

   cd samples/GroupDocs.Viewer.UI.Cloud.Api.Sample
   dotnet run

Open your browser at https://localhost:5001 (or the URL shown in the console output).

Configuration

builder.Services
    .AddControllers()
    .AddGroupDocsViewerCloudApi(config =>
        config
            .SetClientId(clientId)
            .SetClientSecret(clientSecret)
            .SetViewerType(viewerType)
    )
    .AddLocalStorage("./Files")
    .AddLocalCache("./Cache");

Adding Documents

Place document files in the ./Files directory. They will be uploaded to the Cloud API for rendering.
