Embedding a dashboard using Java in Power BI

Question

So, I've created a dashboard in PowerBi that I can load in a .cs page using the sample project but I like to try and use the JavaScript API. I tried using the project [GitHub Sample Project https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-JavaScript ] But I am getting error about the models is there a different function I would be using? I belive that I have all of the js library installed but the dashboard will not loaded in my html page.

        var models = window['powerbi-client'].models;

        var embedConfiguration = {
            type: 'dashboard',
            id: 'dashboardID',

        var $dashboardContainer = $('#embedContainer');
        var dashboard = powerbi.embed($dashboardContainer.get(0), embedConfiguration);

Make sure to use the correct embedURL, you're using /reportEmbed when you should be using /dashboardEmbed.

eventually, your code should look something like this:

$(document).ready(function () {

        // Get models. models contains enums that can be used.
        var models = powerbi.models; // or window.powerbi.models

        var embedConfiguration = {
            type: 'dashboard',
            id: 'dashboardID',
            embedUrl: 'https://app.powerbi.com/dashboardEmbed',
            tokenType: models.TokenType.Aad,
            accessToken: 'TokenString'
        };

        var $dashboardContainer = $('#embedContainer');
        var dashboard = powerbi.embed($dashboardContainer.get(0), embedConfiguration);
    });
