AppBoxo JS SDK

Appboxo JS SDK is a connection bridge between miniapp and native app, that has a rich API features that make your miniapp feel like a native. Using Appboxo JS SDK, host app can pass the user email to miniapp, to register the user automatically in the miniapp.

Usage

import appboxoSdk from '@appboxo/js-sdk';

// Sends event to client
appboxoSdk.send('AppBoxoWebAppInit');

// Subscribes to event, sended by client
appboxoSdk.subscribe(e => console.log(e));

For use in a browser, include the file dist/index.umd.js and use as follows

<script src="dist/index.umd.js"></script>

<script>
  // Sends event to client
  appboxoSdk.send('AppBoxoWebAppInit');
</script>

Native clients

Native clients (both Android and iOS) should call this to pass data to mini apps:

window.dispatchEvent(new window.CustomEvent('AppBoxoWebAppEvent', {
  bubbles: false,
  cancelable: false,
  detail: {
    type: 'AppBoxoWebAppGetInitData',
    data: {
      app_id: 234234,
      client_id: 344343,
      payload: 'asdlj2323ljaoiw',
      token: 'qerljljqwerqwe',
      request_id: 1
    }
  }
}))

Important

If an event triggered from mini app has request_id inside data (like on the example above), than it means that sendPromise has been called and same event with request_id and event type should be returned to resolve this promise.

Authentication

appboxoSdk.login(optionalProps)

Sends a message to native client to open confirm modal with default confirmation message. Upon confirmation it sends request to platform and returns resolved authentication token promise to miniapp.

Parameters

• optionalProps optional Props to extend default login behavior

try {
  const token = await appboxoSdk.login({
    confirmModalText: 'This is my custom confirmation message',
    postConfirmCallback: (isConfirmed) => { console.log('Confirmation status: ', isConfirmed) }
  });
} catch (error) {
  // Handling an error
}

appboxoSdk.logout()

Sends a message to native client to clear authentication tokens.
