Viewer – tovejskommunikation via postMessage

Introduktion

Indlejrede Viewer-instanser kommunikerer med værtssiden via postMessage. Det aktuelle runtime starter med et nonce-håndtryk og anmoder derefter om et indlejringstoken med ALTER_TOOL_INIT_SESSION.

Opsætning:

Åbn panelet E-handelsindstillinger – Indlejring i Alter Product-appen.
Tilføj det domæne, hvor Viewer skal indlejres (f.eks. https://yourwebsite.com eller http://localhost:3000), og gem.

Forløb:

Dit websted indlæser Viewer-iframen.
Iframen sender ALTER_CHILD_HELLO; din side svarer med ALTER_PARENT_ACK og samme nonce.
Iframen anmoder om et token med ALTER_TOOL_INIT_SESSION og payload.tool sat til viewer.
Din backend opretter tokenet via Alter Product Public API, og din side svarer med ALTER_TOOL_SESSION_READY.
Med add_to_cart=1 kan Viewer sende ALTER_VIEWER_ADD_TO_CART. Værten kan også anmode om den aktuelle payload med ALTER_VIEWER_GET_PRODUCT_DATA og modtage ALTER_VIEWER_DATA_RESPONSE.

Variantmetadata, der er konfigureret i Produktkonfiguration, indgår i payloaden.

Meddelelser sendt af Viewer

Type	Beskrivelse
`ALTER_CHILD_HELLO`	Starter håndtryk (indeholder en nonce)
`ALTER_TOOL_INIT_SESSION`	Anmoder om et sessionstoken fra værtswebstedet
`ALTER_VIEWER_ADD_TO_CART`	Brugeren klikkede på ”Læg i kurv” i en indlejret Viewer med `add_to_cart=1`
`ALTER_VIEWER_DATA_RESPONSE`	Svar på anmodning om produktdata
`ALTER_WP_RUNTIME_CONTEXT_REQUEST`	Anmodning om WordPress/WooCommerce-runtimekontekst
`ALTER_WP_LOCAL_DESIGN_REQUEST`	Anmodning om opstartsdata til lokalt WordPress-design, når `wp_local_design=1`

Meddelelser modtaget af Viewer

Type	Beskrivelse
`ALTER_PARENT_ACK`	Bekræftelse af håndtryk (skal indeholde noncen)
`ALTER_TOOL_SESSION_READY`	Leverer sessionstoken til godkendelse af Viewer
`ALTER_TOOL_SESSION_ERROR`	Tokenanmodning mislykkedes (fejl på værtssiden)
`ALTER_VIEWER_GET_PRODUCT_DATA`	Anmoder om produktdata fra Viewer
`ALTER_WP_RUNTIME_CONTEXT_RESPONSE`	Svar med WordPress/WooCommerce-runtimekontekst
`ALTER_WP_LOCAL_DESIGN_RESPONSE`	Svar med opstartsdata til lokalt WordPress-design
