Fresh8 JS Module

Dynamically inject Fresh8 ads into your website or app.

Prerequisite

This project is auto compiled from ES2015 to ES5 by Babel, if you'd like to use the ES2015 code directly you can require it by doing the following:

import Fresh8 from 'fresh8/src';

Getting started

If you want use this in an React app you can use our prebuilt component here.

Common JS

• npm install fresh8-js-module --save
• var Fresh8 = require('fresh8-js-module').default;

ES2015 Import

• npm install fresh8-js-module --save
• import Fresh8 from 'fresh8-js-module';

Browser Script

You can find a minified script that defines the Fresh8 object globally in dist/browser.js.

Installation ID's and Slot ID's

During your on-boarding process you'll receive a unique set of ID's for the publications, websites and applications you want to display ads on. We refer to these as "installation ID's", each ID is unique to the publication and allows you to control the ads via our console. Along with these you'll also receive a set of slot ID's that determine what sizes of ad creative will be served to your publications, you can see a list of available slots here.

Configuration

The Fresh8 class takes a number of different configurations as an Object, the following lists each available option and what it does:

instID

The installation ID for the publication you want to create ads for.

| Key | Value | Required | Default | | -------- | ------ | -------- | ----------- | | instID | String | Y | undefined |

shouldBreakOut

This controls if the ads should try and break out of iframe's and append to the most top window. It does this by looping over all the window.parent properties until there are no more or an error is throw because of a browser security exception. This is useful if you want to inject the ads via a third party ad manger that uses iframe's but still want the ads to be displayed in the correct element outside of the iframe.

| Key | Value | Required | Default | | ---------------- | ------- | -------- | ------- | | shouldBreakOut | Boolean | N | false |

inApp

This defines if the ads are being used inside of a web view in Android/iOS.

| Key | Value | Required | Default | | ------- | ------- | -------- | ------- | | inApp | Boolean | N | false |

listenOnPushState

Monkey patches the window.history.pushState function to emit an event, on receipt of this event the ads will reload. Useful for single page apps that don't reload the page on navigation.

Ad class

An instantiated ad class is resolved from the requestAd method on success

Methods

reload

Reloads destroys the current ad in place then requests new data from the ad serving API. Using that data it creates a new ad in it's place.

destroy

Examples

This is an example of the simplest configuration possible:

var config = { instID: '40410' };
var fresh8 = new Fresh8(config);

fresh8.requestAd({ slotID: 'f8-001', appendPoint: 'body' });

A more complex config might look like:

var config = { instID: '40410', inApp: false, shouldBreakOut: false, listenOnPushState: false };
var fresh8 = new Fresh8(config);

fresh8
  .requestAd({
    slotID: 'f8-001',
    url: 'http://fresh8gaming.com',
    appendPoint: 'body',
    view: 'home-page',
    clickTrackingRedirect: 'http://dfp.com?r=',
    sport: 'football',
    competitors: ['Manchester United', 'Southampton'],
    competitions: ['Premier League'],
    listenOnPushState: true
  })
  .then(ad => console.log('Ad loaded', ad))
  .catch(reason => console.error(reason));
