Stats calculated based on data on gs.statcounter.com from December 2018

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 350kb.

Overview

After following the instructions below, your html will look approximately like this:

<html>
​
<head>
  ...
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="path-to-domain-name/3.0/css/appsmiles-sdk.css" />
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="path-to-domain-name/3.0/css/appsmiles-icons.css" />
  ...
</head>
​
<body>
  ...
  <div id="apm-sticker"></div>
  ...
​
  ...
  <script>
    var apmConfig = {...} // Required
  </script>
  <!-- or <script src="path/to/apm-config.js"></script> -->
​
  <script>
    var apmTranslations = {...} // Optional
  </script>
  <!-- or <script src="path/to/apm-translations.js"></script> -->
​
  <script src="path-to-domain-name/3.0/js/appsmiles-sdk.js"></script>
  ...
</body>
​
</html>

​

Vocabulary

I. Installation

We generally create a release personalized for your needs. Contact us to get the SDK files.

II. Configuration

There are 5 different tags to add to your html for the SDK. They must be put in the following order:

1. Style

Two files:

  • appsmiles-sdk.css

  • appsmiles-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-domain-name/{version}/css/appsmiles-sdk.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="path-to-domain-name/{version}/css/appsmiles-icons.css" />
</head>

Don't hesitate to contact us if you would like style changes

2. Configuration (apmConfig)

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

<script>
      var apmConfig = {    
      
        // Required
        apiBaseUrl: "[Required] {string} URL of the appsmiles API, modify to point to sandbox or prod environment",
        clientSignature: "[Required] {string} Signature created with HmacSHA256(timestampString, partnerSecretString).toString().substring(0, 15).toUpperCase();",

        showBalanceInSticker: "[Conditional] {boolean} Whether to show the user's balance in the sticker",
        
        // Optional
        loginPageUrl: "[Optional] {string} Url of the sign-in/sign-up page",
        onClickSticker: "[Optional] {string} Url to navigate to instead of opening the modal",
        hideStickerIfOptOut: "[Optional] {boolean} Hide sticker if user chooses to opt out. Default is false. Consider to integrate a way for the user to opt back in if you choose to set it to true",
        hideStickerIfSdkOff: "[Optional] {boolean} Hide sticker if SDK is set to OFF or if non-functional. Default is false",
        timeoutDuration: "[Optional] {number} Number of seconds to wait before http requests enter timeout",
        notificationDuration: "[Optional] {number} Duration in ms of the notification (including animation)",
        generosityBufferPolicy: "[Optional] {number} Policy as to how to handle triggerActions when user is not connected. -1: always discard, -2: keep after userClientConnect is called (while waiting for server response or RGPD opt-in), 0: always keep, x > 0: keep only actions in the last x seconds after user connected.",
        stickerNotificationBadgePolicy: "[Optional] {number} Policy as to when to show the notification badge on the sticker. -1: never show, 0: always show, 1: show when new content available"
        ribbonDirection: "[Required] {string} Direction towards which the notification ribbon should extend (N, E, S, W)",
        
        // Development
        openAndLoad: "[Dev] {string} Have modal open on a specific screen on refresh (welcome, challenge, menu, gifts, gift, burns, burn, earns, levels, pages-mentions, pages-onboarding-anonymous, pages-onboarding-connected)",
        overrideProgTTL: "[Dev] {number} Override progTTL (automatic refresh interval), in seconds",
        alwaysNewAction: "[Dev] {boolean} Always get a new action to suggest to the user (otherwise, only new action if user completed the current one)",
        clearApmCacheOnRefresh: "[Dev] {boolean} Clear localStorage and sessionStorage for any apm keys",

      }
</script>

How to generate clientSignature(required)

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, AngularJS, 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.

JS
PHP
HmacSHA256( // using CryptoJS library
  timestamp: string, // ! Very important for it to be a STRING
  partnerSecret: string)
  .toString()
  .substring(0, 15)
  .toUpperCase();
<?php
​
$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

Now on the client side, you add clientSignature and clientSignatureTimestamp in the apmConfig object:

<script>
    apmConfig.clientSignature = <clientSignature>;
    apmConfig.clientSignatureTimestamp = <clientSignatureTimestamp>;
</script>

3. Translations (apmTranslations)

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-domain-name/{version}/apm-translations.js"></script>

If keys are missing, error logs will be printed in the browser's console, indicating which ones are missing.

4. The SDK

This is the main JS file, containing the logic, and UI elements (except the styling).

<script src="path-to-domain-name/{version}/appsmiles-sdk.js"></script>

5. HTML anchor

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.

III. Initialization

The SDK initializes itself automatically when the 4. The SDK script tag is executed.

Hurray !
