JavaScript VAST Client
npm install react-native-vast-client


This library provides three components:
* A VAST Client to fetch and parse VAST XML resources into JavaScript Objects.
* A VAST Parser to directly parse a VAST XML.
* A VAST Tracker to batch and call tracking URLs.

Complies with the VAST 3.0 specification provided by the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB).
Bash
npm i vast-client
`
Then import the components you need.$3
If you need to fetch and parse VAST documents, you can use the VASTClient:
`javascript
import { VASTClient } from 'vast-client'const vastClient = new VASTClient();
vastClient.get('https://www.examplevast.com/vast.xml')
.then(res => {
// Do something with the parsed VAST response
})
.catch(err => {
// Deal with the error
});
`
In addition to fetching and parsing a VAST resource, VASTClient provides options to filter a sequence of calls based on count and time of execution, together with the possibility to track URLs using VASTTracker.$3
To directly parse a VAST XML you can use the VASTParser:
`Javascript
import { VASTParser } from 'vast-client'const vastParser = new VASTParser();
vastParser.parseVAST(vastXml)
.then(res => {
// Do something with the parsed VAST response
})
.catch(err => {
// Deal with the error
});
`$3
To track the execution of an ad use the VASTTracker:
`Javascript
import { VASTTracker } from 'vast-client'const vastTracker = new VASTTracker(vastClient, ad, creative);
// Track an impression for the given ad
vastTracker.trackImpression();
`API Documentation
The API documentation is organized by components: * VASTClient
* VASTParser
* VASTTracker
:warning: IMPORTANT :warning: : the release of the
2.0 version of the library introduced many breaking changes in the API.Read the 2.0 migration guide to update your project or follow the 1.x API documentation if you're still using the old version.
Support and compatibility
The library is 100% written in JavaScript and the source code uses modern features like modules, classes, ecc... . Make sure your environment supports these features, or transpile the library when bundling your project.$3
We provide several pre-bundled versions of the client (see dist directory)#### Browser
A pre-bundled version of VAST Client JS is available:
vast-client.js or vast-client.min.js [minified].You can add the script directly to your page and access the library's components through the
VAST object.`html

var vastClient = new VAST.VASTClient();
