WebsiteComponent

Defined in: parser/types.ts:986

The WebsiteComponent interface is used to define the properties of a website component. A WebsiteComponent is used to render an iframe with a website inside of it. This can be used to display an external website or an html file that is located in the public folder.

{
 "type": "website",
 "path": "<study-name>/assets/website.html",
}

To pass a data from the config to the website, you can use the parameters field as below:

{
 "type": "website",
 "path": "<study-name>/website.html",
 "parameters": {
   "barData": [0.32, 0.01, 1.2, 1.3, 0.82, 0.4, 0.3]
 },
 "response": [
   {
     "id": "barChart",
     "prompt": "Your selected answer:",
     "location": "belowStimulus",
     "type": "reactive"
   }
 ]
}

In the website.html file, by including revisit-communicate.js, you can use the Revisit.onDataReceive method to retrieve the data, and Revisit.postAnswers to send the user's responses back to the reVISit as shown in the example below:

<script src="../../revisitUtilities/revisit-communicate.js"></script>
<script>
 Revisit.onDataReceive((data) => {
   const barData = data['barData'];
   ...
 });

 // Call out that 'barChart' needs to match ID in 'response' object
 Revisit.postAnswers({ barChart: userAnswer });
</script>

• If the html website implements Trrack library for provenance tracking, you can send the provenance graph back to reVISit by calling Revisit.postProvenanceGraph as shown in the example below. You need to call this each time the Trrack state is updated so that reVISit is kept aware of the changes in the provenance graph.

const trrack = initializeTrrack({
 initialState,
 registry
});

...
Revisit.postProvenance(trrack.graph.backend);
