App extensions SDK

This SDK provides interactivity between custom UI extensions and Pipedrive.

Learn more about custom UI extensions from Developer documentation.

npm install --save @pipedrive/app-extensions-sdk

Table of contents

Initialization

In order to display a custom UI extension to a user, this SDK has to be initialized. In the iframe request, query id attribute is passed, which has to be provided to the SDK constructor. The SDK will try to read it from the URL query. If the URL is modified (e.g. with redirects), then it has to be passed manually.

import AppExtensionsSDK from '@pipedrive/app-extensions-sdk';

// SDK detects identifier from URL and uses default custom UI size
const sdk = await new AppExtensionsSDK().initialize();

// Pass in id manually and provide custom UI size
const sdk = await new AppExtensionsSDK({ identifier: '123abc' })
  .initialize({ size: { height: 500 } });

Without module bundler

Initialization without a module bundler is possible by adding the following script to your HTML page from jsDelivr CDN:

<head>
  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@pipedrive/app-extensions-sdk@0/dist/index.umd.js"></script>
</head>

NB: Pay attention to the package version in the URL - app-extensions-sdk@0. While you can also use version range, ensure you do not omit the version completely in production. This is to avoid any issues.

After this, the global AppExtensionsSDK will be available. Initialization can be then done the same way below in the HTML body:

<body>
  <script>
    (async function() {
      const sdk = await new AppExtensionsSDK().initialize();
    })();
  </script>
</body>

User settings

Contains an object with user settings, such as theme interface preference, and is accessible directly as a property of an instance of AppExtensionsSDK.

Properties

Parameter Type Description
theme String Selected theme interface preference. Possible values:
  • light
  • dark

Example

sdk.userSettings.theme can be used to set data-theme attribute to html tag of the iframe page with specific CSS for different themes.

[data-theme="dark"] body {
    // custom CSS for dark theme
}
import AppExtensionsSDK from '@pipedrive/app-extensions-sdk';

const sdk = new AppExtensionsSDK();

document.documentElement.setAttribute('data-theme', sdk.userSettings.theme);

await sdk.initialize();

See also USER_SETTINGS_CHANGE event to implement an immediate update of styles in case of user preference change.

Commands

Commands can be invoked with the execute method. On successful command execution, promise resolves. On error, it rejects.

sdk.execute(/* ... */)
  .then((data) => {
    // handle data
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    // handle error
  });

try {
  const data = await sdk.execute(/* ... */);
} catch (err) {
  // handle error
}

Get signed token

A new JSON Web Token (JWT) that is valid for 5 minutes will be generated. It can be verified using the JWT secret which you can add from Marketplace Manager when configuring a custom UI extension. If it's not specified, use app's client secret instead. JWT contains Pipedrive user and company ids.

JWT can be used to ensure that the custom UI extension is loaded by Pipedrive. It can be passed to your API requests and be verified on the server side. As JWT expires in 5 minutes, you can use this command to get a new one.

This command only accepts a boolean as the second parameter, and the floating window must be visible before using this command.
