IframeMananger is a lightweight javascript plugin which helps you comply with GDPR by completely removing iframes initially and setting a notice relative to that service. Iframes are loaded only after consent.

The plugin was mainly developed to aid CookieConsent with iframe management.

Features

Lightweight
Complies with GDPR
Multilanguage support
Automatic/custom thumbnail support *
Allows to integrate any service which uses iframes
Improves website performance:
- lazy-load thumbnails
- lazy-load iframes
Can be integrated with any consent solution

Installation

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/orestbida/[email protected]/dist/iframemanager.js
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/orestbida/[email protected]/dist/iframemanager.css

using npm:

npm i @orestbida/iframemanager

Import script + stylesheet:

<html>
  <head>
    ...
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="iframemanager.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    ...
    <script defer src="iframemanager.js"></script>
  <body>
</html>

Configure and run:

Create a .js file (e.g. app.js) and import it in your html markup:

<body>
    ...
    <script defer src="iframemanager.js"></script>
    <script defer src="app.js"></script>
<body>

Configure iframemanager inside app.js:

(function(){

    const im = iframemanager();

    // Example with youtube embed
    im.run({

  </script>
<body>

Create a div with `data-service` and `data-id` attributes:

<div data-service="youtube" data-id="<video-id>"></div>

Configuration options

All available options for the <div> element:

<div
    data-service="<service-name>"
    data-id="<resource-id>"
    data-params="<iframe-query-parameters>"
    data-thumbnail="<path-to-image>"
    data-autoscale
    data-ratio="<x:y>">
</div>

data-service : [String, Required] name of the service (must also be defined in the config. object)
data-id : [String, Required] unique id of the resource (example: video id)
data-title : [String] notice title
data-params : [String] iframe query parameters
data-thumbnail : [String] path to custom thumbnail
data-ratio : [String] custom aspect ratio (Available values.)[v1.1.0]
data-autoscale : specify for responsive iframe (fill parent width + scale proportionally)
data-widget : ignore the default aspect ratio; specify when implementing a custom widget with explicit width and height (twitter, facebook, instagram ...)[v1.2.0]

How to set attributes on the `iframe` element

You can set any attribute by using the following syntax:

data-iframe-<attribute> [String] note: replace <attribute> with a valid attribute name. [v1.1.0]

Example:

<div
    data-service="youtube"
    data-id="5b35haQV7tU"
    data-autoscale
    data-iframe-id="myYoutubeEmbed"
    data-iframe-loading="lazy"
    data-iframe-frameborder="0">
</div>

All available options for the config. object:

{
    currLang: 'en',     // current language of the notice (must also be defined in the "languages" object below)
    autoLang: false,    // if enabled => use current client's browser language
                        // instead of currLang [OPTIONAL]

    // callback fired when state changes (a new service is accepted/rejected)
    onChange: ({changedServices, eventSource}) => {
        // changedServices: string[]
        // eventSource.type: 'api' | 'click'
        // eventSource.service: string
        // eventSource.action: 'accept' | 'reject'
    },

    services : {
        myservice : {

            embedUrl: 'https://<myservice_embed_url>',

            // set valid url for automatic thumbnails   [OPTIONAL]
            thumbnailUrl: 'https://<myservice_embed_thumbnail_url>',

            // global iframe settings (apply to all iframes relative to current service) [OPTIONAL]
            iframe: {
                allow: 'fullscreen',           // iframe's allow attribute
                params: 'mute=1&start=21',     // iframe's url query parameters

                // function run for each iframe configured with current service
                onload: (dataId, setThumbnail) => {
                    console.log(`loaded iframe with data-id=${dataId}`);
                }
            },

            // cookie is set if the current service is accepted
            cookie: {
                name: 'cc_youtube',            // cookie name
                path: '/',                     // cookie path          [OPTIONAL]
                samesite: 'lax',               // cookie samesite      [OPTIONAL]
                domain: location.hostname      // cookie domain        [OPTIONAL]
            },

            languages: {
                en: {
                    notice: 'Html <b>notice</b> message',
                    loadBtn: 'Load video',          // Load only current iframe
                    loadAllBtn: "Don't ask again"   // Load all iframes configured with this service + set cookie
                }
            }
        },

        anotherservice: {
            // ...
        }
    }
}

Any other property specified inside the iframe object, will be set directly to the iframe element as attribute.

Example: add frameborder and style attributes:

{
    // ...

    services: {
        myservice: {
            // ...

            iframe: {
                // ...

                frameborder: '0',
                style: 'border: 4px solid red;'
            }
        }
    }
}

Note: thumbnailUrl can be static string, dynamic string or a function:

static string : "https://path_to_image/image.png"
dynamic string : "https://myservice_embed_url/{data-id}"

function :

thumbnailUrl: (dataId, setThumbnail) => {
    // fetch thumbnail url here based on dataId of the current element ...
    let url = 'fetched_url';

    // pass obtained url to the setThumbnail function
    setThumbnail(url);
}

Custom Widgets

Some services (e.g. twitter) have their own markup and API to generate the iframe.

Note: this is an example with twitter's widget. Each widget/service will have a slightly different implementation.

Place the markup inside a special data-placeholder div. Remove any script tag that comes with the markup. Example:

<div
    data-service="twitter"
    data-widget
    style="width: 300px; height: 501px"
>

    <div data-placeholder>
        <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sunsets don&#39;t get much better than this one over <a href="https://twitter.com/GrandTetonNPS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GrandTetonNPS</a>. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/nature?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#nature</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/sunset?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#sunset</a> <a href="http://t.co/YuKy2rcjyU">pic.twitter.com/YuKy2rcjyU</a></p>&mdash; US Department of the Interior (@Interior) <a href="https://twitter.com/Interior/status/463440424141459456?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 5, 2014</a></blockquote>
    </div>

</div>

Create a new service and dynamically load and initialize the widget inside the onAccept callback:

im.run({
    services: {
        twitter: {
            onAccept: async (div, setIframe) => {
                // Using cookieconsent v3
                await CookieConsent.loadScript('https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js');

                // Make sure the "window.twttr" property exists
                await im.childExists({childProperty: 'twttr'}) && await twttr.widgets.load(div);

                // Make sure the "iframe" element exists
                await im.childExists({parent: div}) && setIframe(div.querySelector('iframe'));
            },

            onReject: (iframe) => {
                iframe && iframe.parentElement.remove();
            }
        }
    }
})

It is highly recommended to set a fixed width and height to the main data-service div, to avoid the (awful) content jump effect when the iframe is loaded.

Placeholder for non-js browsers

You can set a placeholder visible only if javascript is disabled via a special div:

<div data-placeholder data-visible></div>

Example:

<div
    data-service="youtube"
    data-id="5b35haQV7tU"
    data-autoscale>

    <div data-placeholder data-visible>
        <p>I'm visible only if js is disabled</p>
    </div>

</div>

APIs

The plugin exposes the following methods:

.run(<config_object>)
.acceptService(<service_name>)
.rejectService(<service_name>)
.getState() [v1.2.0+]
.getConfig() [v1.2.0+]

Example usage:

// accept specific service only
im.acceptService('youtube');

// accept all services (for example if user has given full consent to cookies)
im.acceptService('all');

// reject specific service
im.rejectService('youtube');

// reject all services (for example when user opts out of cookies)
im.rejectService('all');

// get entire config object
const config = im.getConfig();

// get current state (enabled/disabled services)
const state = im.getState();

// state.services: Map<string, boolean>
// state.acceptedServices: string[]

Both acceptService and rejectService work the same way:

set/erase cookie
create/remove iframes

Configuration examples

            embedUrl: 'https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/{data-id}',

            thumbnailUrl: 'https://i3.ytimg.com/vi/{data-id}/hqdefault.jpg',

            iframe: {

    data-autoscale
></div>

Usage with CookieConsent [v1.2.0+]

You can use the onChange callback to detect when an iframe is loaded by the loadAllBtn button click event and notify CookieConsent to also update its state.

Example:

im.run({
    currLang: 'en',

    onChange: ({changedServices, eventSource}) => {

        if(eventSource.type === 'click') {
            // Retrieve all accepted services:
            // const allAcceptedServices = im.getState().acceptedServices;

            /**
             * Retrieve array of already accepted services
             * and add the new service
             */
            const servicesToAccept = [
                ...CookieConsent.getUserPreferences().acceptedServices['analytics'], //cookieconsent v3
                ...changedServices
            ];

            CookieConsent.acceptService(servicesToAccept, 'analytics');
        }
    },

    services: {
        // ...
    }
});

Note: the above example assumes that all services belong to the analytics category.

Available `data-ratio`

Horizontal aspect ratio:

1:1, 2:1, 3:2, 5:2, 4:3, 16:9, 16:10, 20:9, 21:9

Vertical aspect ratio:
