Mini App JS SDK

The Mini App SDK for JavaScript can be used to access Android/iOS device and App specific features from a Mini App. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the Android Mini App SDK and iOS Mini App SDK.

JS SDK Developer documentation

Table of Contents

{:.no_toc}

  • Table of contents {:toc}

Getting Started

This SDK can be used either as an NPM module or via the bundled script file.

Usage as NPM module

The SDK package can be installed in your project from the NPM registry:

npm install js-miniapp-sdk

And then it can be used as an import in your project:

import MiniApp from "js-miniapp-sdk";

MiniApp.getMessagingUniqueId()
    .then(id => {
    // ...

Usage via bundled script

You can alternatively use the bundled script file to use the SDK. When using the bundled script file, a global MiniApp object will be available for using the SDK.

First, download the bundled script file from the releases page. You can then include it as a normal <script> tag in your HTML:

<script src="miniapp.bundle.js"></script>

Then you can acces the SDK methods via window.MiniApp.default.

window.MiniApp.default.getMessagingUniqueId()
    .then(id => {
    // ...

Mini App Manifest

There is a manifest for each mini app. The manifest provides the info for Android/iOS SDK to handle the mini app so the mini app developer should understand the structure and data type of manifest.

The manifest contains:

  • Required permissions
  • Optional permissions
  • Access token permissions
  • Custom metadata

Here is the example of manifest. You can also see it in our sample app.

{
  // The mini app should use "reqPermissions" for setting which permissions it requires.
  // These permissions will be requested by the host app before launching and downloading the mini app.
  // The user MUST accept these permissions before the mini app can be launched.
  "reqPermissions": [
    {
      "name": "rakuten.miniapp.user.USER_NAME",
      "reason": "Describe your reason here (optional)."
    },
    {
      "name": "rakuten.miniapp.user.PROFILE_PHOTO",
      "reason": "Describe your reason here (optional)."
    }
  ],
  // The mini app should use "optPermissions" for setting which permissions it will optionally use.
  // These permissions will be requested by the host app before launching and downloading the mini app.
  // The user can choose to either accept or deny these permissions before the mini app is launched.
  "optPermissions": [
    {
      "name": "rakuten.miniapp.user.CONTACT_LIST",
      "reason": "Describe your reason here (optional)."
    },
    {
      "name": "rakuten.miniapp.device.LOCATION",
      "reason": "Describe your reason here (optional)."
    }
  ],
  // For access tokens, can define which "audience" and "scopes" you would like permission to use
  "accessTokenPermissions": [
    {
      "audience": "rae",
      "scopes": ["idinfo_read_openid", "memberinfo_read_point"]
    },
    {
      "audience": "api-c",
      "scopes": ["your_service_scope_here"]
    }
  ],
  // The Host App can require additional keys that the mini app developer must set
  "customMetaData": {
    "exampleKey": "test"
  }
}

Mini App Features

User details

Retrieve a unique ID

  1. getUniqueId() - This method is deprecated from 2.0 and renamed to getMauid()

    API: MiniAppFeatures.getUniqueId

    You can retrieve a unique ID which was generated by the Android or iOS App to represent the user of the mini app:

    import MiniApp from 'js-miniapp-sdk';

MiniApp
  .getUniqueId()
  .then(id => {
    console.log(id);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });

  2. getMauid() - This method is replaced with the getUniqueId()

    API: MiniAppFeatures.getmauid

    You can retrieve a unique ID which was generated by the Android or iOS App to represent the user of the mini app:

    import MiniApp from 'js-miniapp-sdk';

MiniApp
  .getMauid()
  .then(id => {
    console.log(id);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });

  3. getMessagingUniqueId() - This method is used to retrieve a Unqiue ID that can be used for messages.

    API: MiniAppFeatures.getmessaginguniqueid

    import MiniApp from 'js-miniapp-sdk';

MiniApp
  .getMauid()
  .then(id => {
    console.log(id);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });
3. getPhoneNumber() - This method is used to retrieve phone number of the user. 
**API:** [MiniAppFeatures.getphonenumber](api/interfaces/miniappfeatures.md#getphonenumber)

```javascript
import MiniApp from 'js-miniapp-sdk';

MiniApp.user
  .getPhoneNumber()
  .then(number => {
    console.log(number);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });
```

Request Permissions

There must be permission requests from miniapp to access some mobile components and data. Users can revoke a permission at any time, so you must always request the permission every time before you use the associated API. Note that accepted permissions are cached, so if a User has already accepted a permission then they will not be shown the permission dialog again unless they manually revoke the permission.

There are two types of permissions:

  • Custom permissions: Access User data or device features which the Host App controls. Displays Host App's custom permission dialog.
  • Device permissions: Access device features. Displays Android/iOS platform permission dialog.

Mini app developer can define which permissions are required and optional in mini app manifest. You do not need to request permission when declaring them as required type.

Custom Permissions

API: MiniAppFeatures.requestCustomPermissions, CustomPermissionName, CustomPermissionStatus

These permissions are related to accessing the User data or device features which the Host App controls, and the Host App will display a custom permission dialog. Multiple permissions can be requested at once. These permissions should be requested before you attempt to access the User's data or certain device features.

These permissions are requested using the MiniAppFeatures.requestCustomPermissions method.

Permission Name Description
CustomPermissionName.USER_NAME Grant access to the User's name.
CustomPermissionName.PROFILE_PHOTO Grant access to the user's Profile Photo.
CustomPermissionName.CONTACT_LIST Grant access to the user's contact list.
CustomPermissionName.ACCESS_TOKEN Grant access to the a user's access token.
CustomPermissionName.LOCATION Grant access to the device's location (custom permission only).
CustomPermissionName.SEND_MESSAGE Allow miniapp to send message to specific contact via hostapp.
CustomPermissionName.POINTS Allow miniapp to retrieve points.
CustomPermissionName.FILE_DOWNLOAD Allow miniapp to download files.
Usage example
import MiniApp, {
  CustomPermissionResult,
  CustomPermissionName,
} from 'js-miniapp-sdk';

MiniApp
  .requestCustomPermissions([
    {
      name: CustomPermissionName.USER_NAME,
      description: 'This text will be shown to the user.',
    },
    {
      name: CustomPermissionName.PROFILE_PHOTO,
      description: 'This text will be shown to the user.',
    },
    {
      name: CustomPermissionName.CONTACT_LIST,
      description: 'This text will be shown to the user.',
    },
    {
      name: CustomPermissionName.ACCESS_TOKEN,
      description: 'This text will be shown to the user.',
    },
    {
      name: CustomPermissionName.LOCATION,
      description: 'This text will be shown to the user.',
    },
    {
      name: CustomPermissionName.SEND_MESSAGE,
      description: 'This text will be shown to the user.',
    },
    {
      name: CustomPermissionName.POINTS,
      description: 'This text will be shown to the user.',
    },
    {
      name: CustomPermissionName.FILE_DOWNLOAD,
      description: 'This text will be shown to the user.',
    },
  ])
  .then(result => {
    const allowed = result
      .filter(
        permission => permission.status === CustomPermissionResult.ALLOWED
      )
      .map(permission => permisssion.name);

    if (allowed.indexOf(CustomPermissionName.USER_NAME) > -1) {
      // Access and use the User Name data
    }
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error); // An error occured
  });

Device Permissions

API: MiniAppFeatures.requestLocationPermission

These permissions are for accessing device features, and they will display a platform-specific dialog which is controlled by the Android or iOS operating system. Device permissions can only be requested one at a time.

Each device permission is requested using a specific method for that permission. Device permissions also have an associated Custom permissions, so you should first request the custom permission before requesting the device permission. However, if you did not request the custom permission first, then the method will automatically request the custom permission from the user.

Permission Method Description
requestLocationPermission Grant access to the device location (both device permission & custom permission).
Usage example
// Location Permission
import MiniApp from 'js-miniapp-sdk';

MiniApp
  .requestLocationPermission('This description will be shown to the user.')
  .then(success => {
    console.log(success); // Allowed.
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error); // Permission is not granted due to many circumstances.
  });

Show Ads

API: Ad.loadInterstitialAd, Ad.loadRewardedAd, Ad.showInterstitialAd, Ad.showRewardedAd, Reward

Mini App SDK allows you to display ads upon requesting from a Mini App with an ad unit id. This requires you to first load an Ad by passing an ID. You can then display an Ad in the Ad Unit by passing the same ID which was used for loading.

Note that typically you should load your Ads at some point earlier than you intend to use them, such as at App launch time. You can also pre-load multiple Ads by calling MiniApp.loadInterstialAd or MiniApp.loadRewardedAd multiple times.

Currently two ad types are supported,

  1. Interstitial
  2. Rewarded
import MiniApp from 'js-miniapp-sdk';

const adUnitID = 'xxx-xxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx';

MiniApp
  .loadInterstitialAd(adUnitID)
  .then(response => {
    MiniApp
      .showInterstitialAd(adUnitID)
      .then(response => console.log(response))
      .catch(error => console.error(response));
  })
  .catch(error => console.error(response));
import MiniApp from 'js-miniapp-sdk';

const adUnitID = 'xxx-xxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx';

MiniApp
  .loadRewardedAd(adUnitID)
  .then(response => {
    MiniApp
      .showRewardedAd(adUnitID)
      .then(response => console.log(response))
      .catch(error => console.error(response));
  })
  .catch(error => console.error(response));

    console.log('miniAppFinishedLoading - Error: ', miniAppError);
  });

Get Cookies from host application Available from v1.19.0

You can use the following interface to get all Cookies from Host app using the following interface

import MiniApp from 'js-miniapp-sdk';
  
  MiniApp.cookieManager
    .getAllCookies()
    .then((response) => {
      // Response will be [CookieInfo]
      console.log(response);
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.log(error);
    });

You can also request the host app to provide specific cookies by sharing the list of keys as string[]

import MiniApp from 'js-miniapp-sdk';
  
  MiniApp.cookieManager
    .getCookies(['user-token', `user-last-session`])
    .then((response) => {
      // Response will be [CookieInfo]
      console.log(response);
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.log(error);
    });

MiniApp storage using Key/Value Available from v1.20.0

We already have a Secure storage that uses database for storing any data from MiniApp. It is recommended for MiniApps that wants to store huge data.

If MiniApp wants to use any storage that is lightweight, then they can use the following interfaces. Android uses Shared Preferences and iOS uses UserDefaults for the interfaces below,

API: MiniappPreferenceProvider

  1. set
import MiniApp from 'js-miniapp-sdk';
  
MiniApp.preferences
  .set(key, value)
  .then((response) => {
    // String response sent from Host app when the value set is successfull
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
  });
  1. get
import MiniApp from 'js-miniapp-sdk';
  
MiniApp.preferences
  .get(key)
  .then((response) => {
    // Value that is stored for a given key
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
  });
  1. remove
import MiniApp from 'js-miniapp-sdk';
  
MiniApp.preferences
  .remove(key)
  .then((response) => {
    // String response sent from Host app when the remove is successfull
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
  });
  1. clearMiniAppPreferences
import MiniApp from 'js-miniapp-sdk';
  
MiniApp.preferences
  .clearMiniAppPreferences(key)
  .then((response) => {
    // String response sent from Host app when the clearing preferences is successfull
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
  });

Get feature list Available from v1.20.0

This interface will help the MiniApps to get the list of features that is supported by the MiniApp native SDK also with the list of other features that is supported by the Host app

import MiniApp from 'js-miniapp-sdk';
  
MiniApp.miniappUtils
  .getFeatureList()
  .then((response) => {
    // Array of strings/features that is supported
    // For eg., ["GET_USERNAME", "IS_DARK_MODE", "GET_ALL_COOKIES"]
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
  });

Can open App Deeplink Available from v1.20.3

This interface will help the MiniApps to check if the URL scheme that they want to open is available in the device

import MiniApp from 'js-miniapp-sdk';
  
MiniApp.miniappUtils
  .canOpenAppDeeplink(url)
  .then((response) => {
    // True if the device contains/supports the scheme
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
  });

App supports deeplink Available from v1.20.3

This interface will help the MiniApps to check if the application allows/whitelisted the URL that MiniApp wants to launch

import MiniApp from 'js-miniapp-sdk';
  
MiniApp.miniappUtils
  .isAppDeeplinkSupported(url)
  .then((response) => {
    // True if the application allows to launch the deeplink
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
  });

Advanced Usage

Errors management

Access Token error

When an access token is requested, different Error subtypes can be thrown to the MiniApp:

Here is a complete example of you can manage Access Token errors:

MiniApp.user.getAccessToken("TOKEN_AUDIENCE", ["TOKEN_SCOPE1","TOKEN_SCOPE2"])
  .then(data => {
      ...
  })
  .catch(error => {                            //Example of values :
      console.error(error.name);              // AudienceNotSupportedError
      console.error(error.message);          //  The value passed for 'audience' is not supported.

      if (error instanceof AuthorizationFailureError) {
          // handle error
      } else if (error instanceof AudienceNotSupportedError) {
          // handle error
      } else if (error instanceof ScopesNotSupportedError) {
          // handle error
      } else if (error instanceof MiniAppError) {
          // handle error
      } else {
          // unexepected error caused by SDK
      }
  })

Usage when testing in the browser

Currently, the SDK does not support testing in the browser. You must test using the Android Mini App Demo App or iOS Mini App Demo App on an actual Android or iOS device.

If you wish to be able to test in a browser, you can return a mock value instead of calling the SDK method.

Click to expand code example 
import MiniApp from 'js-miniapp-sdk';

const platform = MiniApp.getPlatform();

function getId() {
  if (platform != 'Unknown') {
    return MiniApp
      .getUniqueId()
      .then(id => {
        console.log(id);
      })
      .catch(error => {
        console.error(error);
      });
  } else {
    return Promise.resolve('mock_unique_id_value');
  }
}

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Error: "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'getUniqueId' of undefined"

This is an error that you could see on Android devices when using any of the SDK functions.

Please ensure that you have defined a <title> tag within your HTML document's <head> before the Mini App SDK <script> tag. For example:

<head>
  <title>My Mini App title</title>
  <script src="miniapp.bundle.js"></script>
  <head></head>
</head>

In the Android SDK, we will inject some necessary JavaScript from the native side, and we do this after receiving a callback that the mini app's <title> has been set. So if you do not set a <title>, then the JavaScript will be injected at an unpredictable time and you could see errors when trying to use SDK functions.
