Functions

Functions are special methods that come with SDK which allow you to control the state of the beacon window.

open()

This function is used to open the beacon window. It is useful when you want to use a button on your webpage to directly open the beacon window. Follow the examples below on how it should be implemented.

Usage

beacon.open();

Examples

/** Using a button on webpage to open the beacon window **/

var beacon = document.getElementsByTagName('beacon-app')[0];
beacon.open();
});
