The plugin SDK exposes an API to interact with Front.
Because the interactions are depending on the current context, the API is defined on the context
received via Front.contextUpdates
.
While it is recommended to use the functions from the context, you can also call the functions directly on the main Front
object.
When calling an API function on
Front
, the latest context will be used.
const button = document.getElementById('example-button');
/*
* Bad.
*/
let latestContext;
Front.contextUpdates.subscribe(context => {
latestContext = context;
});
button.addEventListener('click', () => {
if (!latestContext)
throw new Error('Cannot process before receiving a context');
latestContext.openUrl('https://example.com');
}
/*
* Good.
*/
button.addEventListener('click', () => Front.openUrl('https://example.com'));
