Initialization
To use the Client Extension API services, you must include the symphony-api.js JavaScript file in your application controller and views.
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.symphony.com/resources/api/v1.0/symphony-api.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
To style your app, you must include the symphony-style.css CSS file in your application views and add the class "symphony-external-app" to the
<body> tag of your app views.<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.symphony.com/resources/api/v1.1/symphony-style.css">
Icons must be square, with a recommended size of 32x32.
The supported formats are SVG (recommended), PNG and JPG.
Transparency is supported, but please take into account that your icon should work both in the light theme and the dark theme.
In the legacy Symphony Client, it was possible to use a rectangular sprite icon (32x16), where the first 16 pixels were used for the light theme and the last 16 pixels for the dark theme. This is not supported on Client 2.0.
The
SYMPHONY.remote.hello() method should be used to initialize the connection to the Client Extension API from your application controller and views.Returns a promise that will be fulfilled when the introduction is complete. If there is a problem, the promise will be rejected. The promise returns an object containing the user's Symphony client theme name, font size, and any associated classes, including those for theme name or size, as well for condensed and contrast modes.
hello: function()
Returns | Type | Description |
themeV2 | Object | An object containing the user's Symphony client theme settings |
locale | String | The language selected by the user in his settings. Possible values are "en-US" | "fr-FR" | "ja-JP". |
{
"themeV2" : {
"name": "dark",
"size": "normal",
// This will include a list of all theme and font classes available.
"classes": [],
},
"locale" : "en-US"
}
You should style your application according to the user's theme by applying the theme and font size classes to the
<body> tag of any application modules.
SYMPHONY.remote.hello().then(function(data) {
// Set the theme of the app module
var themeColor = data.themeV2.name;
var themeSize = data.themeV2.size;
// You must add the symphony-external-app class to the body element
document.body.className = "symphony-external-app " + themeColor + " " + themeSize;
});
If a user changes his theme, a themeChangeV2 event is fired from the ui service, which will pass a
themeV2 object with the new values. You should use a service to listen to this event and update the classes on the application module <body>.
