Deprecating Angular App Inbox towards web-inbox

@suprsend/web-inbox

This package is used to integrate inbox channel in non react applications. For react application use @suprsend/react-inbox.

Documentation

Documentation can be found here: https://docs.suprsend.com/docs/embeddable-inbox

Integrate using script tag

This solution works if you are using applications like Django, Laravel, ruby.

<div id="suprsend-inbox"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
  function initializeSuprSend(distinctId, subscriberId) {
    window.suprSendConfig = {
      workspaceKey: "your_workspace_key",
      distinctId: distinctId,
      subscriberId: subscriberId,
       .....
    };

    let scriptElem = document.createElement("script");
    scriptElem.async = 1;
    scriptElem.src =
      "https://web-inbox-assets.suprsend.com/v0.3.0.js";
    document.body.appendChild(scriptElem);
  }

  initializeSuprSend("your_distinct_id", "your_subscriber_id");
</script>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In above code replace your_distinct_id, your_subscriber_id,

your_workspace_key and SPECIFIC_VERSION variables with valid values.

Example code: https://github.com/suprsend/suprsend-web-inbox/blob/main/index.html

Integrate using NPM module

This solution work if you are using applications like angular, vue etc. If you are using server side rendering frameworks then render this inbox component after mounting on client side.

npm install @suprsend/web-inbox@latest
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
yarn add @suprsend/web-inbox@latest
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
import { initSuprSendInbox } from "@suprsend/web-inbox";

<div id="suprsend-inbox"></div>

const suprSendConfig= {
  workspaceKey: "your_workspace_key",
  distinctId: "your_distinct_id",
  subscriberId: "your_subscriber_id",
  ......
}

initSuprSendInbox(document.getElementById("suprsend-inbox"), suprSendConfig);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Calling initSuprSendInbox function will initialize inbox inside div tag.

To unmount inbox component manually you can use cleanSuprSend function provided in SDK.

const targetElement = docuent.getElementById("suprsend-inbox");
cleanSuprSend(targetElement);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Customising Inbox

For suprSendConfig (script and npm package) you can pass other options to customize.

distinctId any (Mandatory) Unique identifier for the user.
subscriberId string (Mandatory) This is unique string for every distinctId used for authentication to inbox service. You check generation docs.

pageSize number (Optional) Notifications to get in one api call. Used for pagination to get older notifications. Maximum allowed is 50. Defaults to 20.

hideAvatar?: boolean
notificationClickHandler?: (notificationData: any) => void

}

const suprSendConfig = {
  workspaceKey: "your_workspace_key",
  distinctId: "your_distinct_id",
  subscriberId: "your_subscriber_id",
  tenantId: "testing",
  themeType: "dark",
  hideToast: true,
  theme: {
    bell: { color: "blue" },
    badge: { backgroundColor: "red", color: "black" },
  },
};
