HTML & JS Embed

If you are using a (currently) unsupported client framework, you can use our embedded script. This will show the Widget inside an iframe.

Add Script

You copy this snippet to your code before the closing body tag.

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://embed.impler.io/embed.umd.min.js" async></script>

It will add impler variable in window, so we can call its init and show methods later.

Add Import Button

Import widgets get opened when the user clicks on Import button. So let's add an import button,

<button disabled id="impler-btn">
  Import
</button>

Before the widget gets shown you have to call its init method. So write this code, after added embed script.

<script type="text/javascript">
  let uuid = generateUuid();
  let isImplerInitialized = false;
  const ImplerBtn = document.getElementById("impler-btn");

  function generateUuid() { // (1)
    return window.crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint32Array(1))[0];
  }

  window.onload = (e) => {
    if (window.impler) {
      window.impler.init(uuid); // (2)

      const readyCheckInterval = setInterval(() => {
        if (window.impler.isReady()) { // (3)
          clearInterval(readyCheckInterval);
          ImplerBtn.removeAttribute("disabled"); // (4)
        }
      }, 1000);

      ...
    }
  }
</script>

Here is the description of what we just did,

generateUuid the function generates UUID which helps add multiple import widgets on the same page.
init method on impler initializes impler widget.
readyCheckInterval calls impler isReady() method in the interval of 1 second to check whether the impler widget is initiated or not.
Once Impler is ready we remove disabled attribute from the import button, which the user can click to open the import widget.

After the initialization, when the user clicks on the Import button we will call show method to open the widget,

// at #L21
ImplerBtn.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
  window.impler.show({
    uuid,
    projectId: "", // projectId
    templateId: "", // templateId
    accessToken: "", // accessToken
  });
});

You can pass more parameters to show a method like schema, data, etc. Have a look at React Embed section on React embed.

That's it, your app is now ready to onboard user data into your application.

Customize Texts

You can customize any text in the import widget, here is the sample. A full list of available texts is available at Available Texts.

ImplerBtn.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
  window.impler.show({
    ...
    texts: {
      STEPPER_TITLES: {
        REVIEW_DATA: 'Check Data', // New Title
      },
    },
  });
});

Listening to Events

Impler instance provides message an event listener which gets called for various events happening with the widget. Here is how to attach event listener,

window.impler.on('message', (eventData) => {}, uuid);

eventData follows the { type, value } structure.

type

value

                break;

          }, uuid);

Data Seeding in Sample File

You can provide default data to fill in the Sample Excel file that gets generated from the Import widget. Default data act as a placeholder for the user to further add or update the data in the file.

Here is an example of how to provide data to fill in the sample file,

window.impler.show({
  uuid,
  projectId: "",
  templateId: "",
  accessToken: "",
  data: [
    { country: 'ABC' },
    { country: 'DEF' },
    { country: 'GHE' },
  ]
});

Advanced Validations

You can provide Advanced Validations in the column as validations key,

window.impler.show({
  uuid,
  projectId: "",
  templateId: "",
  accessToken: "",
  schema: [
    {
      "key": "Department Code",
      "name": "Department Code",
      "type": "String",
      "validations": [
        {
          "validate": "unique_with",
          "uniqueKey": "Employee No"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "key": "Employee Id",
      "name": "Employee Id",
      "type": "Number",
      "validations": [
        {
          "validate": "unique_with",
          "uniqueKey": "Employee No"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
});

Providing Runtime Schema

The schema and output provided in the web.impler.io portal for any import behave as default values for any Import. It's possible to override the default schema and output, to adapt dynamic nature of Import.

Here is an example of how to provide dynamic schema and output,

window.impler.show({
  uuid,
  projectId: "",
  templateId: "",
  accessToken: "",
  schema: [
    {
      key: 'country',
      name: 'Country',
      type: 'String'
    }
  ],
  output: {
      "%data%": {
        "country_id": "{{country}}"
      },
      "page": "{{page}}",
      "chunkSize": "{{chunkSize}}",
      "isInvalidRecords": "{{isInvalidRecords}}",
      "template": "{{template}}",
      "uploadId": "{{uploadId}}",
      "fileName": "{{fileName}}",
      "extra": "{{extra}}"
    }
});

Passing Extra Parameters

It's an obvious need that we want to pass userId or orgId representing who imported the data. In that case, you can pass that data in an extra parameter.

You can pass string, object, or array in extra. Here is an example of how to do it,

window.impler.show({
  uuid,
  projectId: "",
  templateId: "",
  accessToken: "",
  extra: {
      userId: '4ddhodw3',
      time: new Date()
  }
});

The extra parameters get sent to an application during the webhook call.

Changing Import Title

By default, the Import widget takes the name of the Import to show in the title. But it's possible to change the title from the implementation side too. Helpful to keep the title separate from what the name is given in the web portal.

Here is how,

window.impler.show({
  uuid,
  projectId: "",
  templateId: "",
  accessToken: "",
  title: "Employee Import"
});

You can close the import widget programmatically by calling close method on impler instance,

Here is how,

window.impler.close();

Changing Theme Color

You can pass a primary color to the import widget, which will update the colors of all buttons accordingly to match your app's theme color.

window.impler.show({
  uuid,
  projectId: "",
  templateId: "",
  accessToken: "",
  primaryColor: '#5f45ff'
});

Providing Authentication Header Value

In case the backend endpoint is authenticated with the token, it's possible to provide token value from the implementation side.

window.impler.show({
  uuid,
  projectId: "",
  templateId: "",
  accessToken: "",
  authHeaderValue: '...'
});
