Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Usage

Script

Add the following code towards the end of the head section on your page.

<script async="true">
  !function(s,e,a){var c,o,i,p=[],u=[];s[a]={init:function(){c=arguments;var t={then:function(e){return u.push({type:"t",next:e}),t},catch:function(e){return u.push({type:"c",next:e}),t}};return t},on:function(){p.push(arguments)},render:function(){o=arguments},destroy:function(){i=arguments}},s.__onWebMessengerHostReady__=function(e){if(delete s.__onWebMessengerHostReady__,s[a]=e,c)for(var t=e.init.apply(e,c),n=0;n<u.length;n++)var r=u[n],t="t"===r.type?t.then(r.next):t.catch(r.next);o&&e.render.apply(e,o),i&&e.destroy.apply(e,i);for(n=0;n<p.length;n++)e.on.apply(e,p[n])};var t="2.3.6-ruby-4",n=e.getElementsByTagName("script")[0],e=e.createElement("script");e.async=!0,e.src="https://assets.au.stackchat.com/sdk/web-messenger/"+t+"/stackchat."+t+".min.js",n.parentNode.insertBefore(e,n)}(window,document,"stackchat");
</script>

And then, initialise the Web Messenger by placing the following code towards the end of the body section of your page:

<script>
  stackchat
    .init({
      appId: "<app-id>"
    })
    .then(function () {
      // YOUR CODE AFTER INIT IS COMPLETE
    });
</script>

Note for users in China If you are using the Stackchat Web Messenger on a Chinese website, then you will need to replace the loader URL in the above script. Please replace https://assets.au.stackchat.com with our China CDN: https://assets.common.stackchat.com.cn. You will also need to add a region: "cn" key/value to your config (along with your app id) that you pass in the init method.

NPM

  1. Install via npm or a package manager of choice:
npm install --save @stackchat/web-messenger
  1. Import the module & initialise messenger
import Stackchat from "@stackchat/web-messenger";

Stackchat.init({ appId: "<app-id>" }).then(function () {
  // YOUR CODE AFTER INIT IS COMPLETE
});

Browser Support

Stackchat Web Messenger supports all the popular browsers

Desktop

  • Chrome : Latest and one major version behind
  • Edge : Latest and one major version behind
  • Firefox : Latest and one major version behind
  • Internet Explorer : 11+
  • Safari : Latest and one major version behind

Mobile

Other Browsers

Stackchat Web Messenger is likely compatible with other and older browsers but we only test against the versions above.

Voice Support

Stackchat Web Messenger supports speech recognition where available. This is essentially limited to browsers that have implemented the W3C Media Stream API and where access to a recording instrumentation on a device is available. For this reason, if you are using speech recognition, please be aware that there may be compatibility issues with older browsers.

API

  .init({
    appId: "<app-id>",
    // Leave unspecified for US region (default)
    region: "au",
    // For authenticated mode
    jwt: "your_jwt",
    userId: "user_id",
    locale: "en-US",
    customColors: {
      brandColor: "65758e",

      imageClickToView: "Click to view {size} image.",
      imagePreviewNotAvailable: "Preview not available.",
      inputPlaceholder: "Type a message...",
      introAppText: "Message us below or from your favorite app.",
      introductionText: "We're here to talk, so ask us anything!",
      messageError:

  })
  .then(function () {
    // Your code after init is complete
  });

initPromise.then(function () {
  // do something
});

// pass it around...

initPromise.then(function () {
  //do something else
});

voice

The web-messenger will support Speech Recognition if the service has been made available to the user, to enable it there is a voice configuration object that can be passed in by the user to the init method.

| Option | Optional? | Default value | Description | | ------------------- | --------- | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | voiceOnly | Yes | false | Disables the text input and replaces it with a push to talk button | | voiceOnlyFallback* | Yes | text | If voice only is set to true and the client device does not support voice then this option will handle what to do for those unsupported devices, options are text, destroy or a function that returns either of those values | | locale | Yes | en_us | Set the voice support language, must conform to BCP-47 |

  • voiceOnlyFallback - The two options for fallback are text or destroy, the text fallback will revert the application to a basic keyboard based input, while destroy will fail the initialization of the app and prevent the widget from being instantiated, this option is for users that only want to support voice and display nothing in all other instances.

open()

Opens the conversation widget (no-op when embedded)

stackchat.open();

close()

Closes the conversation widget (no-op when embedded)

stackchat.close();

isOpened()

Tells if the widget is currently opened or closed.

stackchat.isOpened();

destroy()

Destroys the Web Messenger and makes it disappear. The Web Messenger has to be reinitialized with init to be working again because it also clears up the app id from the Web Messenger. It will also unbind all listeners you might have with stackchat.on.

stackchat.destroy();

sendMessage(message)

Sends a message on the user's behalf

stackchat.sendMessage({
  type: "text",
  text: "hello"
});

// OR

stackchat.sendMessage("hello");

getConversation()

Returns the conversation if it exists

var conversation = stackchat.getConversation();

getUser()

Returns a user if the conversation has begun and a user has been created, otherwise returns undefined

var user = stackchat.getUser();

if (user) {
  // Do something with user data.
}

startConversation()

Creates a user and conversation on the server, allowing the business to reach out proactively to the user via the public API.

It is strongly recommended to only call this method in the case where a message is likely to be sent.

This method is called automatically when starting a conversation via the sendMessage method, or when a user sends a message via the conversation view.

If a conversation already exists for the current user, this call is a no-op.

stackchat.startConversation();

setPredefinedMessage(message)

Prefills the user's chat input with a predefined message.

stackchat.setPredefinedMessage(message);

simulateMessage(message, ?avatar)

Simulates a message to the client without ever sending one to the server, these messages will not be persisted between sessions.

Takes in an optional second parameter for displaying an avatar associated with the message, this will default to gravatar's empty gray user icon if left blank.

stackchat.simulateMessage(message);

simulateMessage(messageObject, ?avatar)

Simulates a message which has specified predefined reply options.

stackchat.simulateMessage({
  message: "Would you like an ice cream?",
  actions: ["Yes", "No"]
});

triggerCloudFunction(handler, payload, ?metadata)

Manually invoke a Stackchat cloud function on the users behalf.

stackchat
  .triggerCloudFunction("populateSlots", getUserPayload(), {})
  .then(() => {
    console.log("cloud function invoked");
  });

showActivityIndicator(?avatar)

Simulates the behaviour of the bot typing. Shows up as flickering three dots in a message bubble.

hideActivityIndicator()

Removes the typing indicator from the conversation so that the conversation may proceed.

openSpeechRecognitionModal()

Opens up the user speech recognition prompt and begins listening for a user command, this can't be called before the messenger client has finished it's initialisation.

stackchat.init({...}).then(() => {
    document.getElementById("open-modal").addEventListener("click", () => {
        stackchat.openSpeechRecognitionModal();
    });
})

closeSpeechRecognitionModal()

Closes the modal and aborts the current recognition event

stackchat.closeSpeechRecognitionModal();

setDelegate(delegate)

See the section on Delegates below

updateAnalyticsId

By default, a user's unique Stackchat ID will be used when your chatbot sends server-side requests to your configured analytics integrations. However, you may want to override this behaviour so that Stackchat uses a different ID, such as the visitor ID that your website has assigned to the user. This is helpful to get a single view of user behaviour across both website and chatbot.

Adobe Analytics

If you've configured Adobe Analytics report suite for your Stackchat bot, then you can call updateAnalyticsId method with the below parameter in order to override the visitor ID that your chatbot uses when making server-side requests to Adobe Analytics. If you have server-side forwarding to Adobe Audience Manager configured, then you need to include the regionId, otherwise it is not required

stackchat.updateAnalyticsId({
  adobeAnalytics: {
    experienceCloudVisitorId: "ENTER_YOUR_VISITOR_ID_HERE",
    regionId: "ENTER_YOUR_REGION_ID_HERE"
  }
});
  • Populate experienceCloudVisitorId property with a value fetched from getMarketingCloudVisitorId
  • Populate regionId property with a value fetched from getLocationHint
  • Note: One API call is made to Adobe Analytics for every message received from the user.

hasConversationStarted()

Returns a boolean that when true indicates the a user has previously started a conversation and false when they have not, this is useful for those times when you might want to execute some behaviours depending on whether a user has or has not interacted with the widget yet.

const hasStarted = stackchat.hasConversationStarted();

if (hasStarted) {
  // Conversation started, do something...
} else {
  // Converstaion not yet started, do something...
}

Delegates

Stackchat Web Messenger allows you to set a delegate to receive callbacks when important changes happen in the conversation. To set a delegate, use the following setDelagate method:

stackchat.setDelegate(delegate);

Delegates should be set after stackchat.init has been called, like so:

stackchat.init({ appId: '<app-id>' })
  .then(
    () => {
      stackchat.setDelegate(...)
    }
  )

You can use the one or more of the following delegates:

beforeDisplay

The beforeDisplay delegate allows a message to be hidden or modified before it is displayed in the conversation. This delegate should return a falsy value such as null to hide the message. It can also return a modified message object in order to change what the user will see rendered in their conversation history. Note that this change affects the client side rendering only; the server side copy of this message can not be modified by this delegate.

stackchat.setDelegate({
  beforeDisplay(message) {
    if (message.metadata && message.metadata.isHidden) {
      return null;
    }

    return message;
  }
});

beforeSend

The beforeSend delegate method allows you to modify properties of a message before sending it to stackchat. The modified message must be returned for it to take effect.

stackchat.setDelegate({
  beforeSend(message) {
    // YOUR CODE HERE

    return modifiedMessage;
  }
});

beforePostbackSend

The beforePostbackSend delegate method allows you to modify properties of a postback before sending it to stackchat. The modified postback must be returned for it to take effect.

stackchat.setDelegate({
  beforePostbackSend(postback) {
    postback.metadata = {
      any: "info"
    };
    return postback;
  }
});

beforeWebviewDisplay

stackchat.setDelegate({
  beforeWebviewDisplay(url, message, event) {
    console.log(url);
    return false; // to cancel action
    // return;    // to allow original behavior, e.g. a no-op
    // return 'http://go.here.instead.com?utm=webviewIntercept' // to replace the URL
  }
});

The metadata parameter has the following structure:

metadata = {
  event // The click event from the browser
};

Events

To bind an event, use stackchat.on(<event name>, <handler>);. To unbind events, you can either call stackchat.off(<event name>, handler) to remove one specific handler, call stackchat.off(<event name>) to remove all handlers for an event, or call stackchat.off() to unbind all handlers.

Note: If you want to make sure your events are triggered, try to bind them before calling stackchat.init, like so:

stackchat.on('<event-1>', function() { ... });
stackchat.on('<event-2>', function() { ... });
stackchat.on('<event-3>', function() { ... });

stackchat.init(...).then(function() {
    // Your code after init is complete
});

ready

This event triggers when init completes successfully

stackchat.on("ready", function () {
  console.log("the init has completed!");
});

destroy

This event triggers when the widget is destroyed.

stackchat.on("destroy", function () {
  console.log("The widget is destroyed!");
});

This is triggered in response to stackchat.destroy()

message:received

This event triggers when the user receives a message

stackchat.on("message:received", function (message) {
  console.log("The user received a message", message);
});

message:sent

This event triggers when the user sends a message

stackchat.on("message:sent", function (message) {
  console.log("The user sent a message", message);
});

message

This event triggers when a message was added to the conversation

stackchat.on("message", function (message) {
  console.log("A message was added to the conversation", message);
});

unreadCount

This event triggers when the number of unread messages changes

stackchat.on("unreadCount", function (unreadCount) {
  console.log("The number of unread messages was updated", unreadCount);
});

widget:opened

This event triggers when the widget is opened

stackchat.on("widget:opened", function () {
  console.log("Widget is opened!");
});

widget:closed

This event triggers when the widget is closed

stackchat.on("widget:closed", function () {
  console.log("Widget is closed!");
});

speech:start

This event triggers when the widget starts recording voice input

stackchat.on("speech:start", function () {
  console.log("Widget is recording now!");
});

speech:end

This event triggers when the widget stops recording voice input

stackchat.on("speech:end", function () {
  console.log("Widget has stopped recording now!");
});

speech:error

This event triggers when the widget encounters an error while recording voice input

stackchat.on("speech:error", function (error) {
  console.log(error.type, error.message);
});

Embedded Mode

As describe above, to activate the embedded mode, you need to pass embedded: true when calling stackchat.init. By doing so, you are disabling the auto-rendering mechanism and you will need to call stackchat.render manually. This method accepts a DOM element which will be used as the container where the widget will be rendered.

The embedded widget will take full width and height of the container. You must give it a height, otherwise, the widget will collapse.

Proactive Messaging

Introduction

This feature allows you to handle the creation, display and manipulation of messages that are proactively displayed to the user. A user can also interact with these messages eliminating the need of guesswork from the user.

Proactive messages can be triggered automatically during an ongoing conversation in the Stackchat Web Messenger or can be manually triggered as the need arises.

Each proactive message looks like this(when default styles are used)

or like this with actions:

Note: Proactive messages are only displayed if and only if the messenger widget is not open. If it is open, then all the proactive messages are silently ignored.

Example

// Initialise Web Messenger
Stackchat.init({
  // ...config
  proactiveMessaging: {
		ttl: 4000 // default
		author: "Test Bot"
  }
})

API

Initialisation Options

See the configuration object at the top for more details.

Configuring a Proactive Message

As long as the messenger widget is not open, ProactiveMessaging any message containing the proactive property in its metadata that has been set to true will displayed proactively.

// Therefore the message object should look like this
message = {
  metadata: {
    proactive: true,
    ...otherMetaProps
  },
  ...otherMessageProps
};

Methods

  • addProactiveMessage({text, persona, quickReplies})

Allows the developer to simulate or display a proactive message to the user without it becoming a part of the ongoing conversation.

For e.g.

// Without actions
stackchat.addProactiveMessage({ text: "Hello, world!" });

// With actions
stackchat.addProactiveMessage({
  text: "Hello, world!",
  quickReplies: [
    {
      text: "Hello there!",
      openMessengerOnReply: false
    },
    {
      text: "Hi! What are you up to?",
      openMessengerOnReply: true
    }
  ]
});

Event Binding

ProactiveMessaging offers two special methods to allow developers to react to events as they occur.

Note: You can add and remove event binding at any time.

  • on(event, handler)

    Allows you to specify a callback for a event which is called when that aforesaid event occurs.

  • off(event?, handler?)

    Allows you to remove a callback tied to an event. If no handler is specfied, it removes all the callbacks associated with the event. If no event has been specified, all callbacks for all events are cleared.

Events

This is the list of events that you can use with on and off methods as described above.

  • ready

    This event is fired when your ProactiveMessaging instance is ready. From this point on, it can start displaying proactive messages.

    stackchat.on("ready", () => {
      console.log("Proactive Messaging is ready!");
    });
  • proactive-message:clicked

    This event is fired when a user clicks on a proactive message. This event is not fired when a user dismisses a message or clicks on a quick reply.

    stackchat.on("proactive-message:clicked", (event) => {
      console.log("Proactive Message clicked > message", event.message);
    });
  • proactive-message:dismissed

    This event is fired when a user dismisses a proactive message. It is not fired if the message auto dismisses after the ttl.

    stackchat.on("proactive-message:dismissed", (event) => {
      console.log("Proactive Message dismissed > message", event.message);
    });
  • quick-reply:clicked

    This event is fired when a user clicks on one of the quick replies in a proactive message.

    stackchat.on("quick-reply:clicked", (event) => {
      console.log("Quick reply clicked");
      console.log("Message", event.message);
      console.log("Quick reply", event.quickReply);
    });
  • messenger:opened

    This event is fired whenever the Stackchat Web Messenger is opened by your ProactiveMessaging instance. Stackchat Web Messenger is opened when a user clicks on a message or clicks on one of the quick replies. Refer to the first part of the API section above.

    stackchat.on("messenger:opened", () => {
      console.log("Stackchat Web Messenger opened");
    });
  • clear

    This event is fired when all the proactive messages have been cleared - by user interaction or otherwise. Consider this as a blank slate similar to right after the ready event has occured.

    stackchat.on("clear", () => {
      console.log("All proactive messages cleared!");
    });

Styling

Default Styles

This library includes some base styles that display proactive messages in the nice UI as shown above here and here.

Consuming default styles depends on the way you integrate this library:

  • Script

    You can use our CDN hosted stylesheet via a script tag

    <link
      type="text/css"
      src="https://assets.au.stackchat.com/sdk/proactive-messaging/1.0.4/main.css"
    />

Content Security Policy

If your deployment requires CSP compatibility, add the following meta tag to your configuration.

<meta
  http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy"
  content="
    connect-src
        wss://*.stackchat.com
        https://*.stackchat.com;
    font-src
        https://*.stackchat.com;
    script-src
        https://*.stackchat.com;
    style-src
        https://*.stackchat.com;
    img-src
        blob:
        https://*.stackchat.com;"
/>

Note that an equivalent configuration can be done server side.

According to the channels you use, other domains may need to be added (these are used to display QR codes to link to the Stackchat Web Messenger conversation):

  • LINE: https://qr-official.line.me
  • WeChat: https://mp.weixin.qq.com

Note that your CSP configuration should also include any domains used to host images or files sent in messages. If you require blob: to be excluded for img-src, you must disable the image upload feature via the init settings.
