Using the Javascript Methods

In these examples we showcase what you can do with the javascript API.

Read capture BEFORE capture is saved and sent to Unomi

In this example we print the data which will be sent to Unomi:

<script>
    window.dsdc = window.dsdc || function () { (dsdc.q = dsdc.q || []).push(arguments) }; dsdc.l = +new Date;

    window.dsdc('beforeRequest', function (data) {

        // read the capture data before script is loaded  
        console.log(data.requestData);
    });
</script>

Read & modify capture BEFORE it was saved and sent to Unomi

Remove data from capture

In this example we remove some data before sending it to Unomi:

<script>
    window.dsdc = window.dsdc || function () { (dsdc.q = dsdc.q || []).push(arguments) }; dsdc.l = +new Date;

    window.dsdc('beforeRequest', function (data) {

        var changedCapture = data.requestData;

        // make a change, eg. remove the cookies from capture  
        changedCapture.browserData.browser.dataCookies = {};

        // use a global function to pass the modified capture back to the main script  
        dsdc.updateCapture(changedCapture);
    });
</script>

Add day of the week to capture

In this example we add some data before sending it to Unomi:

<script>
    window.dsdc = window.dsdc || function () { (dsdc.q = dsdc.q || []).push(arguments) }; dsdc.l = +new Date;

    window.dsdc('beforeRequest', function (data) {

        var changedCapture = data.requestData;

        // make a change, eg. add the day of the week to the capture  
        var today = new Date();
        changedCapture.te__dayOfWeek = today.toLocaleDateString("en-US", { weekday: 'long' });

        // use a global function to pass the modified capture back to the main script  
        dsdc.updateCapture(changedCapture);
    });
</script>

Add birthday with date of today to capture

In this example we add some data before sending it to Unomi:

<script>
    window.dsdc = window.dsdc || function () { (dsdc.q = dsdc.q || []).push(arguments) }; dsdc.l = +new Date;

    window.dsdc('beforeRequest', function (data) {

        var changedCapture = data.requestData;

        // make a change, eg. add today to the capture as birthday  
        changedCapture.da__birthday = (new Date()).toISOString();

        // use a global function to pass the modified capture back to the main script  
        dsdc.updateCapture(changedCapture);
    });
</script>

Read response AFTER capture is saved and sent to Unomi

In this example we read the data that was sent to Unomi:

<script>
    window.dsdc = window.dsdc || function () { (dsdc.q = dsdc.q || []).push(arguments) }; dsdc.l = +new Date;

    window.dsdc('afterResponse', function (data) {

      // read the response data after the capture is sent to Unomi  
      console.log(data.responseData);
  });
</script>

Prevent datacaptures

Prevent all data captures

In this example we prevent all captures being sent to Unomi:

<script>
    window.dsdc = window.dsdc || function () { (dsdc.q = dsdc.q || []).push(arguments) }; dsdc.l = +new Date;

    window.dsdc('preventCapture', true);
</script>

Prevent data captures for form submits only

In this example we prevent all form submits from being sent to Unomi:

<script>
    window.dsdc = window.dsdc || function () { (dsdc.q = dsdc.q || []).push(arguments) }; dsdc.l = +new Date;

    window.dsdc('preventCapture', true, 'formSubmit');
</script>

Prevent all data captures on Sundays

In this example we prevent all captures from being sent to Unomi on Sundays:

<script>
    window.dsdc = window.dsdc || function () { (dsdc.q = dsdc.q || []).push(arguments) }; dsdc.l = +new Date;

    var today = new Date();
    if (today.getDay() == 0) {
        window.dsdc('preventCapture', true);
    }
</script>

Enable the js and load events, which are prevented by default

In this example we enable certain events to be sent to Unomi which are disabled by default:

<script>
    window.dsdcSettings = window.dsdcSettings || {};
    dsdcSettings.preventCapture = dsdcSettings.preventCapture || {};

    // Set the preventCapture of these events to false  
    // This means they are no longer prevented  
    dsdcSettings.preventCapture.js = false;
    dsdcSettings.preventCapture.load = false;

    console.error(dsdcSettings);
</script>
