Installation & Setup

Install by running: npm -i @creative-realities/rvhost

Setup by running:

import RVHost from 'rvhost3';

const rvhost = RVHost.getRVHost()

Usage & Configuration

RVHost exposes a singleton class that allows you to interact with the ReflectView player. You first need to gain access to this instance by calling the getRVHost() method. Storing this instance on a property you can then check to see if the API is exposed (See above Installation and Setup). To see if your running browser has the ReflectView RVHost API exposed, check to see if the property isRunnable is true.

const rvHost = RVHost.getRVHost()
if (rvHost.isRunnable) {
	... interface with the API methods here.
}

Unit Testing (added in minor 3.1.0)

Run pnpm test:unit to run unit tests. The BrightSign platform is tested by default. Android and Chromium may be tested by changing testPlatform to "Android" or "Chromium" and re-running the tests.

Build

The package uses microbundlejs to build the javacript library. After cloning the repo from source and installing with your favorite package manager, simply run the package.json build command. A lib folder will be created with all the different bundle types along with the typescript declaration file.
