Environment Checker

This package allows you to automatically run the environment check and receive the return the result in a simplified format. We provide two versions of Environment Checker, version 1 should be used for flash-only collections, version 2 for flash and WebRTC collections.

Installation

CDN version

The general format for the script URL is "https://codesdwncdn.realeyesit.com/environment-checker/release/{version}/Realeyesit.EnvironmentalDetectionAPI.js". You can specify which kinds of updates your app can accept using semver string in a following format:

• x.y.z to load the exact version, for example: https://codesdwncdn.realeyesit.com/environment-checker/release/2.2.1/Realeyesit.EnvironmentalDetectionAPI.js
• x.y to receive patch updates: https://codesdwncdn.realeyesit.com/environment-checker/release/2.2/Realeyesit.EnvironmentalDetectionAPI.js
• x to receive minor updates: https://codesdwncdn.realeyesit.com/environment-checker/release/2/Realeyesit.EnvironmentalDetectionAPI.js

This example loads the latest release of version 2:

<script src="https://codesdwncdn.realeyesit.com/environment-checker/release/2/Realeyesit.EnvironmentalDetectionAPI.js"></script>

Self hosted

To use the self-hosted solution you will have to download the archive that contains all necessary files and deploy it on your host https://codesdwncdn.realeyesit.com/environment-checker/release/2/environment-checker.zip. You will also have to change the SWF path in the javascript source code. Find the DEFAULT_FLASH_DETECTOR_PATH variable and replace its value, for example DEFAULT_FLASH_DETECTOR_PATH = 'https://example.com/environment-detector.swf';

API

To use environment checker you can register a callback function _RealeyesitEnvDetectCallback or _RealeyesitEnvDetectParams._callback. The other way is to call the Realeyesit.EnvironmentalDetectionAPI.start(callback, options) method manually. In this case you should provide the callback that will handle the result. options parameter is optional and can be used to disable logging, for example: Realeyesit.EnvironmentalDetectionAPI.start(callback, { logger: { disable: true } }). The result will be in the following format:

{
  checksPassed: boolean,
  failureReasonCode: number,
  failureReasonString: string,
  detectorResult: {
          browser: {
            name: string,
            version: string,
          },
          platform: {
            type: string,
          },
          os: {
            name: string,
            version: string,
          },
          flash: ({
            version: string,
          }|null),
          webcams: Array.<string>,
          capabilities: Array.<string>
          },
}

Where 'failureReasonCode' is one of:

• FLASH_NOT_INSTALLED: 1
• FLASH_TOO_OLD: 2
• FLASH_BLACKLISTED: 3
• BROWSER_NOT_CAPABLE: 4
• MOBILE_BROWSER: 5
• NO_WEBCAMS_DETECTED: 6
• OTHER_ERROR: 7

And 'detectorResult' is a result object of environment detector (see more Environment Detector API)

NOTE: if you are using Environment Checker, then there is no need to use Environment Detector separately.

Example usage

<script type="text/javascript">
    function environmentalDetectionCallback(result) {
        alert(result.checksPassed ? 'Passed ' : 'Failed. ' + result.failureReasonString);
    }
    var _RealeyesitEnvDetectParams = _RealeyesitEnvDetectParams || {};
    _RealeyesitEnvDetectParams._callback = environmentalDetectionCallback;
    (function() {
        var envDetect = document.createElement('script');
        envDetect.type = 'text/javascript';
        envDetect.async = true;
        envDetect.src = 'https://codesdwncdn.realeyesit.com/environment-checker/Realeyesit.EnvironmentalDetectionAPI.js';
        var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
        s.parentNode.insertBefore(envDetect, s);
    })();
</script>
