JavaScript methods

Saber Feedback’s JavaScript API allows you to interact with and control Saber Feedback through the global  window.Saber object.

The following methods are available:

Here’s a full example of our JavaScript widget followed by setting an option:

<script type="text/javascript">
  (function(){
    window.Saber={com:[],do:function(){this.com.push(arguments)}};
    var e = document.createElement("script");
    e.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript");
    e.setAttribute("src", "//feedback.saberfeedback.com/feedback.js?api_key=[YOUR API KEY HERE]");
    document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(e);
  })();
  
  // Set Saber to show in French
  Saber.do('set_option', 'language', 'fr');
</script>

open

The  open method opens the Saber Feedback interface in exactly the same way as when the feedback button is clicked. If the feedback interface is already open nothing will happen.

If you have specified an  on_open event handler, this will be triggered.

There are no arguments passed to the  open method.

Saber.do('open');

close

The  close method closes the Saber Feedback interface in exactly the same way as when the feedback interface is cancelled. If the feedback interface is not currently open nothing will happen.

If you have specified an  on_close event handler, this will be triggered.

There are no arguments passed to the  close method.

Saber.do('close');

set_options

The  set_options method allows you to set runtime options after Saber Feedback has been loaded.

The options should be passed as a hash object to the  set_options method.

Saber.do('set_options', {
  language: 'fr', // set the language to French
  feedback_values: {
    'Email': 'matt@saberfeedback.com' // set default value for email field
  }
});

set_option

The  set_option method is a convenience method that allows you to set a single run time option.

set_option requires two arguments, the option name, and its new value.

Saber.do('set_option', 'languge', 'fr'); // set the language to French
