Installation

Usage and configuration

Configuration

Before using the Olark JS API you need to include it in your HTML. The most convenient way to do it is by using the addon service's OlarkInit method. To do so, you must configure the parameters to use to initialize the Olark API in your config/environment.js file in the OLARK key. The following is a basic example of such a configuration:

  OLARK = {
    identity: 'YOUR IDENTITY KEY'
		configure: [ //NOT YET IMPLEMENTED
			{ 'system.hb_primary_color': '#744da8' }
		]
  }

You need to replace YOUR IDENTITY KEY with your own Olark Identity Key (which can be found in the original embed code provided by Olark)

Usage

If you find yourself, needing the service in all your controllers you could inject the service by default in your controller like the following:

export function initialize(application) {
  application.inject('controller', 'olark', 'service:olark');
}

export default {
  name: 'olark',
  initialize
};

Initialize Olark

Before using Olark you must initialize it. The most convenient way is to call the OlarkInit function of the olark service in your Application route:

import Ember from 'ember';
const {
	inject: {
		service
	}
}
export default Ember.Route.extend({
  olark: service(),

  beforeModel() {
    this.get('olark').OlarkInit();
  }
})

Usage example

import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Route.extend({
  olark: Ember.inject.service(),

  actions: {
		openHelp() {
			const olark = this.get('olark');

			olark.on("expand",() => {
				Ember.debug("Olark Expanded!");
			});

			olark.expandBox();
		},
		closeHelp() {
			const olark = this.get('olark');

			olark.on("shrink",() => {
				Ember.debug("Olark Shrunk!");
			});

			olark.shrinkBox();
		}
	}
});
