⚙️ API

$3

Shows the Marker.io feedback widget.

$3

Hides the Marker.io feedback widget.

$3

Returns wether the feedback widget is currently visible or not.

- fullscreen captures the entire visible area
- advanced shows the advanced capture options: limited area, entire page and desktop.

$3

Cancels current capture.

$3

- reporterInfo.email: the email address of the reporter
- reporterInfo.fullName: the full name of the reporter

$3

Clears the current reporter information:

$3

Unloads and cleans up Marker.io SDK and all used resources.

🚨 Events

Marker.io exposes a variety of events that can be listened to using the methods described below.

Usage:

`javascript
widget.on('eventName', function listener() {
// event handler code
});
`

$3

Triggers once Marker.io is loaded.

$3

Triggers if an error occurs while loading Marker.io.

$3

Triggers right before Marker.io unloads.

$3

Triggers when the feedback button becomes visible.

$3

Triggers when the feedback button becomes hidden.

$3

Triggers before submitting the feedback, i.e. when the user clicks Submit feedback.

$3

Triggers once the feedback is successfully submitted.

$3

Triggers if an error occurs while submitting feedback.

$3

Triggers when the user discards a feedback by clicking on the "Close" button in the widget.

🙋‍♂️ Identify reporters

Whenever your application knows about your reporters' identity, you should provide that information through the Marker.io snippet code.

$3

The reporting experience will be much better for your guests as they will not be prompted to provide their contact information while reporting their issues.

$3

Identifying your reporters is dead-simple: all you need to do is to provide their reporter information in the configuration object of your snippet code.

`javascript
const widget = await markerSDK.loadWidget({
project: '',

reporter: {
email: 'john@clientwebsite.com',
fullName: 'John Smith',
},
});
`

$3

`javascript
widget.setReporter({
email: 'john@clientwebsite.com',
fullName: 'John Smith',
});
`

⚙️ Custom metadata

While Marker.io automatically captures various metadata about the issue (page URL, browser context, console logs, …), it is also possible to pass custom metadata to your issues using the SDK.

For example, this can be useful to help developers debug issues by adding more details about the current state of the application.

Supported types of custom metadata:

- number
- boolean
- strings
- arrays
- objects

$3

`javascript
const widget = await markerSDK.loadWidget({
project: '',

customData: {
storeId: 123,
storeName: 'Organic Fruits',
},
});
`

$3

`javascript
widget.setCustomData({
product: 'Orange Juice',
price: 3.99,
stock: 130,
});
`

👻 Enabling Marker.io silent mode

By default, Marker.io will log some useful information in the console to help you identify configuration problems and better understand how it functions.

However, in certain situations you may want to disable them all together so that it doesn't add noise to your recorded console logs.

To do so, you will need to enable silent mode directly inside your snippet code configuration:

`javascript
const widget = await markerSDK.loadWidget({
project: '',

silent: true, // <~ Enable silent mode
});
`

🕒 Delayed capture using server-side capture

Delay the server-side capture so that your CSS animations can run before the screenshot is taken.

You can enable delayed capture adding a special parameter in your snippet code configuration:

`javascript
const widget = await markerSDK.loadWidget({
project: '',

// Add the following to delay the server-side rendering
ssr: {
renderDelay: 3000, // 0 - 15000 (ms)
},
});
`

⌨️ Disabling keyboard shortcuts

In some particular cases, our keyboard shortcuts may conflict with your web app, you can easily disable all our shortcuts by passing a specific property in the JavaScript snippet configuration:

`javascript
const widget = await markerSDK.loadWidget({
project: '',

// Toggles off all keyboard shortcuts
keyboardShortcuts: false,
});
``
