SightMap® JavaScript IFrame API
Introduction
The SightMap® JavaScript IFrame API provides third-party developers the ability to deeply integrate SightMap®. Deeper integration can enable rich user experiences and allow websites or applications to move beyond typical integration standards.
Quick Start
A working example integrating the API with an example SightMap instance is below. You may insert the following usage examples within this HTML document in order to explore the API.
Setting the origin value
Set the
originquery parameter to the origin serving the document. The example useshttp://localhost:3000, however please update the value accordingly.If you need to start a local server, the following gist provides instructions for doing so quickly on either Mac or PC: https://gist.github.com/jgravois/5e73b56fa7756fd00b89.
For security reasons, the example must be served from an origin and will not function correctly when directly opened in a Browser.

<!-- The API script must be included on the page -->
<script src="https://sightmap.com/embed/api.js"></script>
<!--
Include the IFrame embed code. The embed URL must include `enable_api=1` and
provide the pages origin, the example uses `http://localhost:3000`, however
update this accordingly. Additionally, the iframe must declare an id
attribute, in this case it is set to `sightmap`.
-->
<iframe id="sightmap" src="https://sightmap.com/embed/ryzvg6mywln?enable_api=1&origin=http://localhost:3000" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>
<script type="text/javascript">
// Create a new embed instance, providing the IFrame id value:
var embed = new SightMap.Embed('sightmap');
embed.on('ready', function () {
// Usage example code goes here...
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Usage Requirements
In order to use the SightMap JavaScript IFrame API, the page must include the following script tag prior to the embed code.
<!-- The API script must be included on the page -->
<script src="https://sightmap.com/embed/api.js"></script>
The embed url must also pass parameters to enable the API and specify the web page origin. An id must also be declared, to be referenced when initializing the Embed object.
<iframe id="sightmap" src="https://sightmap.com/embed/dgow3krqp2m?enable_api=1&origin=http://localhost:3000" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>

'unitTooltip' disables the unit hover tooltip.
'unitDetails' disables the unit details modal.
*/
embed.disableUI(['filters','unitList','floorSelection','unitToolTip','unitDetails']);
Floor Navigation
Do not hide the floor selector unless you have created a alternate way to identify the floors. Exceptions may be made for properties that have only ONE floor, and there are NO other floors in the building(s).
Events
ready
readyThe ready event fires when the embed has loaded enough to allow for API input and/or user interaction.
embed.on('ready', function () {
console.log('The embed is ready.')
});
outbound.{key}.click
outbound.{key}.clickThe outbound.{key}.click event fires when a call-to-action (CTA) configured for the IFrame API is selected by the user.
{key} would be replaced by the specific key Engrain configures on your CTA. For instance, partnerAction is the key in the usage example below.
This is only available if an IFrame API CTA has been configured for you by the Engrain team. Please reach out to the Engrain team if you are interested in a CTA API interaction.

});
floor.change
floor.changeThe floor.change event fires when the floor has changed in the embed.
embed.on('floor.change', function(event) {
console.log('floor id is now: ', event.id)
})
mapView.change
mapView.changeThe mapView.change event fires when the map view has changed in the embed.
embed.on('mapView.change', function(event) {
console.log('map view is now: ', event)
})
Examples
disableUI
This is an example of a SightMap using the disableUI call.
Heads up: Maps in the mirror are larger than they appear.
The size of the map in these JSFiddles is scaled to the size of the example window. As such, the size of the map will be much larger on an actual website.
Combined Demo
This examples gives one the ability to set unit matches, locate units, switch floors, and disable certain UI elements. This example uses jQuery.
