Struggling in how to render a visualization in server-side or in client-side but background mode. This means not needing a div or html element on the current view to render it. Like X-Pack reporting does but not doing exactly the same.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance,
Jesús

Hi Jesús, I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do here. If it helps at all, Kibana reporting uses a headless browser (Chromium or Phantomjs) to render reports. If you're interested in rendering pages via headless browsers, you can check out the Chromium project: [https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/04/headless-chrome](https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/04/headless-chrome)
It's pretty great!

Ok thanks, I thought something similar so your comment confirms my theory. I'll look into headless browsers thanks so much.
