Onset

We're thrilled to announce the release of Widget Builder, a powerful new tool that makes it easier than ever to customize your widgets and see your changes in real-time!

With Widget Builder, you have complete control over your widget preferences. You can choose from a range of options to customize the look and feel of your widget, including color schemes, placement, and more. And the best part? You can see your changes live as you make them, so you can be confident that your widget will look exactly how you want it to.

We’ve added two new handy methods to our JavaScript Widget.

• onsetWidget.update() - updates widget options. Useful when updating the widget’s theme to match the embedded site’s look.
• onsetWidget.reload() - reloads the widget with the new data source and options.

Developers rejoice. Onset JavaScript SDK is officially here! We have made three different packages available for your disposal. All packages are available via NPM and YARN and include type definitions.

@onsetio/browser

Primarily used in the browser for loading public releases.

• NPM
• Yarn
• Github

@onsetio/node

Onset API JavaScript interface.

• NPM
• Yarn
• Github

@onsetio/widget

We recommend that you should always be loaded the Widget.js script directly from https://widget.onset.io/widget.js, rather than including it in a bundle or host yourself. If must bundle the Widget code into your application, you can use this package.

• NPM
• Yarn
• Github

We got a ton of new features for you! A few notable ones are:

• Unread release badges - notify your users of new releases by showing the count in the trigger badge. We check for new releases every five(5) minutes.
• Widget directions - adjust the direction widget window appears. You can emulate a modal window.
• Events - subscribe to widget events. Read more about them in our doc.

We’ve gone dark y’all! We are following up on our previous release and rolling out dark mode for our widget. Unlike the page, dark mode is enabled programmatically, with no toggles.

While embedding the widget, you now have an optional theme attribute that you can pass. It accepts one of three values:

1. light - light theme
2. dark - dark theme
3. auto - auto-detect based on the user’s computer system settings

We default to our usual light theme to avoid shocking your eyes with the new theme. In the future, this property default value be changed to auto.

onsetWidgetSettings = {
  page: 'releases.onset.io',
  triggerText: "🔔 What's New",
  theme: 'dark',
};
