3. third party?

4. example.first-party first party page

5. example.first-party first party page <script src="service.third-party" >!</script> #// or <iframe

   src="service.third-party" %/>
6. None

7. use case?

8. use case? • widgets • players • analytics

9. why not integrate with the back-ends of our customers?

10. • ∞ impl. • updates • UX et capabilities

11. strategy

12. let's make a widget

13. None

14. approach #1 inject our DOM elements directly in the first

    party page

15. approach #1 Nice what we wrote

16. approach #1 Nice Nice Nice -> Nice Nice what shows

    up Nice

17. approach #1 CSS™

18. CSS™ • Cascading • Inheritance

19. approach #1 first party CSS resets & defaults will f*ck

    things in unexpected ways

20. approach #1 inline CSS or ensure your stylesheet is always

    the last one in the DOM

21. approach #1 • unset all properties • unset all pseudo-elements

    • unset weird vendors selectors • use highest-pri selectors • !important

23. approach #1 we need isolation

24. approach #1 inject DOM elements directly in the first party

    page

25. approach #1 inject DOM elements directly in the first party

    page

26. approach #2 web components

27. approach #2 scoped styles!

28. approach #2 • Not enough browser support • Polyfills are

    sloooooow* *ever tried YouTube on a non-chrome browser?

29. approach #2

30. approach #2 web components

31. approach #2 web components *for now *

32. approach #3 iframes

33. approach #3 iframes add one or two requests (HTML +

    JS)

34. approach #3 limited for communication

35. approach #3 iframes

36. approach #3 iframes

37. approach #4 ✨ sourceless ✨ iframes

38. approach #4 just use the iframe as a rendering target

39. approach #4 let iframe = document.createElement("iframe"); iframe.src = "about:blank"; console.log(iframe.contentWindow)

40. approach #4 browser issues!

41. browser issues! • IE can't access contentWindow without a domain

    • Firefox doesn't always fire a load event

42. approach #4 iframe.src = isIE ? "javascript:" + `'<script> window.onload

    = function() { document.domain = "first-party.domain" } !</script>'` : "about:blank";

43. approach #4 setTimeout( renderWithoutLoadEvent, ARBITRARY_TIMEOUT );

44. approach #4 design issues!

45. design issues! An iframe has a fixed height

46. set the iframe height dynamically from the first party page

    approach #4

47. watch the iframe's body height? approach #4

48. approach #4 My third-party elements iframe

49. approach #4 My third-party elements have grown iframe

50. approach #4 My third-party elements have grown iframe body grows

51. approach #4 My third-party shrank iframe but the body didn't

    shrink

52. watch the iframe's body height? approach #4

53. watch the iframe's body height? approach #4

54. watch a div container in the body approach #4

55. how do we watch? approach #4

56. IntersectionObserver? approach #4

57. approach #4

58. IntersectionObserver? approach #4

59. approach #4 IntersectionObserver?

60. approach #4 IntersectionObserver?

61. good old client rect! approach #4

62. approach #4 let lastHeight = 0; function tick() { let

    height = root.getBoundingClientRect().height; if(height ))!== lastHeight) { lastHeight = height; iframe.style.height = height + "px"; } requestAnimationFrame(tick); } requestAnimationFrame(tick);

63. only use window & document when you know what you're

    doing takeovers

64. use node.ownerDocument and document.defaultView takeovers

65. don't trust inheritance takeovers

66. don't trust inheritance arrayFromIframe instanceof Array #// false

67. don't trust inheritance Array.isArray(arrayFromIframe) #// true Object.prototype.toString .call(arrayFromIframe) ''=== "[object

    Array]" #// true

68. browsers! takeovers

69. 3rd party devs: hey, <animate /> doesn't work in sourceless

    iframes firefox: you want to use like ChromiumSVGs LOL wontfix takeovers

70. takeovers W3C their own APIs

71. 3rd party devs: hey, can we get a setting to

    let our logged customers say they want us to access their cookie so that we know if we need to show their admin interface? safari: no fuck off all third-party is trash takeovers

72. chrome: takeovers

73. how do we do layers/modals ? takeovers

74. let's build a dropdown Dropdown iframe Some first party page

    contents

75. approach #1: grow the iframe Dropdown iframe Some first party

    page contents Contents

76. approach #2: scrollviews Dropdown iframe Some first party page contents

77. Dropdown iframe Some first party page contents approach #3

78. Dropdown iframe Some first party page contents : more iframes™

    Contents approach #3

79. React.createPortal is your friend takeovers

80. takeovers <iframe %/> Frame Loading

81. takeovers <iframe %/> Frame createPortal(el) Done

82. Environment.isThirdParty ? <Frame> child !</Frame> : child; takeovers

83. read-only storage no service workers takeovers

84. takeovers read-only storage no storage at all* ** no service

    workers *in safari and firefox **only fails after some time

85. your SDK needs to be small takeovers

86. no (or very few) polyfills takeovers

87. because MooTools or Prototype.js are still a thing takeovers

88. because MooTools or Prototype.js are still a thing takeovers

89. avoid bundler conflicts takeovers

90. avoid bundler conflicts { -/* ''... )*/ output: { -/*

    ''... )*/ jsonpFunction: "YOUR_OWN_NAMESPACE", } }

91. booting takeovers

92. domReady? onLoad? takeovers

93. async loop takeovers

94. async loop function checkSdk() { if(window.myBootingFunction) { window.myBootingFunction() } else

    { setTimeout(checkSdk, 40) } } checkSdk()

95. analytics? takeovers

96. analytics? • needs to load the actual script • needs

    to register events before the script is loaded

97. analytics? (function(_, b, e, o, p) { if (_.myTracker) {

    return; } _.myTracker = function myTracker() { myTracker.events.push([].slice.call(arguments)); }; myTracker.events = []; o = b.createElement(e); o.src = "https:#//example.com/path-to-real-script.js"; p = b.querySelector(e); p.parentNode.insertBefore(o, p); })(window, document, "script");

98. analytics? (function(_, b, e, o, p) { if (_.myTracker) {

    return; } _.myTracker = function myTracker() { myTracker.events.push([].slice.call(arguments)); }; myTracker.events = []; o = b.createElement(e); o.src = "https:#//example.com/path-to-real-script.js"; p = b.querySelector(e); p.parentNode.insertBefore(o, p); })(window, document, "script");

99. analytics? (function(_, b, e, o, p) { if (_.myTracker) {

    return; } _.myTracker = function myTracker() { myTracker.events.push([].slice.call(arguments)); }; myTracker.events = []; o = b.createElement(e); o.src = "https:#//example.com/path-to-real-script.js"; p = b.querySelector(e); p.parentNode.insertBefore(o, p); })(window, document, "script"); dedupe

100. analytics? (function(_, b, e, o, p) { if (_.myTracker) {

     return; } _.myTracker = function myTracker() { myTracker.events.push([].slice.call(arguments)); }; myTracker.events = []; o = b.createElement(e); o.src = "https:#//example.com/path-to-real-script.js"; p = b.querySelector(e); p.parentNode.insertBefore(o, p); })(window, document, "script"); dedupe register

101. analytics? (function(_, b, e, o, p) { if (_.myTracker) {

     return; } _.myTracker = function myTracker() { myTracker.events.push([].slice.call(arguments)); }; myTracker.events = []; o = b.createElement(e); o.src = "https:#//example.com/path-to-real-script.js"; p = b.querySelector(e); p.parentNode.insertBefore(o, p); })(window, document, "script"); dedupe register load

102. API takeovers

103. API • existing installations need to work forever • never

     introduce a breaking change

104. when making a third- party widget: we need to keep

     all that in mind, at every step takeovers

105. because reverting a design decision is hard takeovers

106. • not your page • not your domain • not

     a controlled env

107. tl;dr; takeovers • styles: f*cked, iframes • scripts: f*cked, limitations

     • API: f*cked, retrocompat • storage: f*cked, do without

108. thank you!

109. thank you! Matthias Le Brun @bloodyowl questions?
