How to use the widget in any HTML page
We need to define where the widget is going to be rendered. In your page, add a div element where you want to render the app. Make sure the element has the
id
attribute set.<div id="timed-ticketing-container"></div>
We need to import this package, the base stylesheet and the react scripts. To do this, under the
<head>
tag in your page add the following code:<script crossorigin src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/umd/react.development.js"></script> <script crossorigin src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/umd/react-dom.development.js"></script> <script src="https://unpkg.com/@halo-media/ts-timed-ticketing-widget@latest/dist/index.umd.js"></script> <link href="https://unpkg.com/@halo-media/ts-timed-ticketing-widget@latest/dist/style.css" rel="stylesheet" />
Finally, we can configure and render the app. Add the following script right before the end of the body of your page
<script type="module"> const Checkout = window['ts-timed-ticketing-widget']; const rootElement = document.getElementById( 'timed-ticketing-container', // Make sure this value matches the `id` of the div element created in the first step ); if (rootElement && config) { // Here goes your config Checkout.render({ element: rootElement, baseUrl: '', clientId: '', siteId: '', eventSlug: '', square: { appId: '', locationId: '', }, }); } </script>
Test your config
You can test if you config works by trying to load it in the demo site here

FAQ
Q: Why is React and ReactDOM marked as devDependencies in package.json?
A: This package is meant to be used as a library to build Checkouts. For that reason we use Vite's "library" mode which does not bundle React and ReactDOM. We still need them as npm dependency for development so we can avoid working exclusively with npm link
.
Q: What does the api
folder store?
A: api
contains all the API clients that are being used in the project and that we are likely to use in other projects.
These API clients should be ready to extract into a its own repository anytime.
Q: What can be considered a service?
A: Services are the bridge the closes any communication gap between the app components and external systems like REST APIs. For example, timed-ticketing.service
is a service that enables the app to communicate with TicketSocket's Timed Ticketing API.
Q: Whats the difference between components
and containers
?
A: The concept of components
and containers
comes from an old redux convention.Components inside the components
folder are made for maximum reusability and fully unaware of the context where they are being used. In the other hand, components in the containers
folder can connect to the redux store.
