OneTrust for Angular

OneTrust loader & wrapper for Angular

How to use?

1. Install the package
   npm i @altack/ngx-onetrust

   Notice that this library will not add any OneTrust related dependency, OneTrust scripts will be loaded at runtime.

2. Import the OneTrustModule.forRoot() in your AppModule.

   A configuration object with your domainScriptID and cookiesGroups needs to be set as module configuration. CookiesGroups usually looks as follows but their IDs (C0001,C0002, etc. ) might be different.

       OneTrustModule.forRoot({
         cookiesGroups: {
           StrictlyNecessaryCookies: 'C0001',
           PerformanceCookies: 'C0002',
           FunctionalCookies: 'C0003',
           TargetingCookies: 'C0004',
           SocialMediaCookies: 'C0005'
         },
         domainScript: 'your-domain-script-id'
       })

   Visit your https://app.cookiepro.com/cookies/categorizations?tab=Categories to define the CookiesGroups object properly.

3. Now you can inject the OneTrustService (usually during the APP_INITIALIZER) to load the OneTrust scripts, change the banner language in realtime and listen for consent changes. Let's have a look these 3 method in detail.

   • oneTrustService.loadOneTrust() accepts an optional parameter with your domainScriptID which will take over the one defined at the module level. Calling this method will init the download and initialization of the OneTrust script.

   • oneTrustService.translateBanner(lang) will try to translate the cookie banner using the lang parameter (e.g en, es, pl, etc.). It works by calling the OneTrust.changeLanguage() method from the OneTrust object of the browser. In order for this to work, you'll have to define the translation in the OneTrust administration panel (usually in the Templates section). Based on the country the user is, translateBanner() will attempt to create a valid locale (e.g en-US) by combining the language + the country. You can also pass a second argument true to the oneTrustService.translateBanner('en', true) in order to force a language change without trying to build the locale.

   • oneTrustService.consentChanged$() returns an Observable<Map<CookiesGroups, boolean>>. Basically a Map with the permission the user has consent. Useful for running certain logic based on the user selection. Heads up, by default (while the cookie banner is visible and pristine) this Map will contain only StrictlyNecessaryCookies permission.

   • oneTrustService.oneTrustInstance$() returns an Observable<OneTrust>. An instance of the OneTrust object after it has been loaded.

Side notes

A common use case for loading OneTrust is by calling oneTrustService.loadOneTrust() within the APP_INITIALIZER.

    {
      provide: APP_INITIALIZER,
      useFactory: appInitializer,
      deps: [MyInitService],
      multi: true
    }

export function appInitializer(myInitService: MyInitService): Function {
  return () => myInitService.load();
}

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class MyInitService {

  constructor(
    ...
    private oneTrust: OneTrustService,
    ...
  ) {}

  public load(): Promise<any> {
  this.oneTrust.loadOneTrust();
  ...
  }
}
