100% compatibility is possible, but implies adding quite a few additional polyfills. We opted for a leaner SDK instead of supporting old and mostly unused browser versions. Our SDK weighs around 500kb.
After following the instructions below, your html will look approximately like this:
<html>ā<head>...<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="path/to/appsmiles-sdk.css" /><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="path/to/appsmiles-icons.css" />...</head>ā<body>...<div id="apm-sticker"></div>...ā...<script>var apmConfig = {...};var apmTranslations = {...};</script><!-- or <script src="path/to/apm-config.js"></script> --><!-- or <script src="path/to/apm-translations.js"></script> -->ā<script src="path/to/appsmiles-sdk.js"></script>...</body>ā</html>
We generally create a release personalized for your needs. Contact us to get the SDK files.
In order for everything to work properly, we require that the folder we provide be integrated as-is. Do not move the files inside, or some paths will be broken.
There are 5 different HTML tags to add to your html for the SDK. They must be put in the following order:
Two files:
appsmiles-sdk.cssappsmiles-icons.css
The SDK comes with it's own stylesheet (1st file) and icon font (2nd file). All of the class and ids are prefixed with apm- in order to prevent interference in the global scope.
<head>...<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="path/to/appsmiles-sdk.css" /><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="path/to/appsmiles-icons.css" /></head>
Don't hesitate to contact us if you would like style changes
If instead you see squares instead of icons, this means that appsmiles-icons.css wasn't properly loaded. Check that the tag is present, and that the file is loaded before appsmiles-sdk.js . Same thing if you see raw text appearing with no style (temporarily, or permanently) where the sticker is supposed to be. This can often happen when files are loaded asynchronously, in which case you have to load these files synchronously in respect to each other (see Ajax and other asynchronous integrations).

There are many configuration options, some required and others optionals. There are also configuration to help during the development process.
You can externalize this variable into its own JS file, as long as it is called before the main JS file

Among the required options in apmConfig, there is the clientSignature. You will find below what you need to know to generate this signature.
In order to enforce a higher degree of security, our SDK uses JSON Web Tokens (JWT) to encrypt requests sent to our server. To do that, we need a signature. However, since Javascript code is completely visible to the client, the signature must be generated by your server.
This signature must be generated server-side, in the language your server uses (e.g. PHP, Ruby). It must not be calculated client-side (browser).
Signature type: HMAC SHA-256.
Arguments: timestamp (current time) and the partnerSecret key that we will have provided to you.
Post-processing: Keep first 15 characters and convert to uppercase.
HmacSHA256( // using CryptoJS librarytimestamp: string, // ! Very important for it to be a STRINGpartnerSecret: string).toString().substring(0, 15).toUpperCase();
<?phpā$partnerSecret = <PARTNER_SECRET>;$clientSignatureTimestamp = (new DateTime())->getTimestamp();$rawClientSignature = hash_hmac('sha256', $clientSignatureTimestamp, $partnerSecret);$clientSignature = strtoupper(substr($rawClientSignature, 0, 15));// TODO: make $clientSignatureTimestamp and $clientSignature available to the client
The signature must be regenerated on each page load. The timestamp is only valid 10 minutes.
Now on the client side, you add clientSignature and clientSignatureTimestamp in the apmConfig object:
<script>apmConfig.clientSignature = <clientSignature>;apmConfig.clientSignatureTimestamp = <clientSignatureTimestamp>;</script>
Our SDK comes with a default French translation. If you wish to change it, or add more languages, you can use the global variable apmTranslations so that the SDK can access them, and use apmConfig.lang to point to the correct translation.
See the default translations.js file provided.
<script src="path/to/apm-translations.js"></script>
If keys are missing, error logs will be printed in the browser's console, indicating which ones are missing.
This is the main JS file, containing the logic, and UI elements (except the styling).
<script src="path/to/appsmiles-sdk.js"></script>
The SDK will look for a div with the id 'apm-sticker' like so : <div id="apm-sticker"></div>.
Place this anchor where you wish the button to appear.
The design of the sticker, the placement of the modal and the direction of the notifications are all configured in the style file.
The SDK initializes itself automatically when the 4. The SDK script tag is executed.
If you are not loading through HTML tags, make sure that the order is respected.
The most important is that the stylesheets, font, config and translations are fully loaded before appsmiles-sdk.js is loaded.
If the order is not respected, you may see:
A bunch of text appearing where the sticker is supposed to be (CSS was not loaded in time)
Font icons not appearing (font or font css not loaded in time)
Console errors about apmConfig
Text inside the SDK and icons don't match what you configured (default translation is loaded because custom one wasn't loaded in time)
Here is a very basic example of asynchronous loading in one of the correct order:
appsmiles-icons.css > appsmiles-sdk.css >
apm-config.js > apm-translations.js > appsmiles-sdk.js
var loadApm = function () {var cssIcons = document.createElement('link');cssIcons.rel = "stylesheet";cssIcons.type = "text/css";cssIcons.href = "./appsmiles-icons.css";cssIcons.onload = function () {var cssSdk = document.createElement('link');cssSdk.rel = "stylesheet";cssSdk.type = "text/css";cssSdk.href = "./appsmiles-sdk.css";cssSdk.onload = function () {var scriptConfig = document.createElement('script');scriptConfig.src = "./apm-config.js";scriptConfig.onload = function () {window['apmConfig'].clientSignature = createClientSignature();var scriptTrans = document.createElement('script');scriptTrans.src = "./apm-translations.js";scriptTrans.onload = function () {var scriptSdk = document.createElement('script');scriptSdk.src = "./appsmiles-sdk.js";document.head.appendChild(scriptSdk);}document.head.appendChild(scriptTrans);}document.head.appendChild(scriptConfig);}document.head.appendChild(cssSdk);}document.head.appendChild(cssIcons);}loadApm();
