A Passible Advertising WebIDL

Abstract

This specification defines a set of interface to access advertising service.

1. Introduction

This section is no-normative.

This API is designed to access advertising service from web app, such as admob, iAd, etc. Developer can request various types of advertisements from such services, as well as control the shown, hidden and destroy of the object. Meanwhile, the API can set the listener to open and close events of the object to maintain the states of the web app, for example, pause/resume the game.

2. Conformance

As well as sections marked as non-normative , all authoring guidelines, diagrams, examples, and notes in this specification are non-normative. Everything else in this specification is normative.

he key words must , must not , required , should , should not , recommended , may , and optional in this specification are to be interpreted as described in RFC2119.

1.Interface

interface xwalk {
  attribute Experimental experimental;
}

interface experimental {
  attribute Advertising ad;
}

1.1 Attributes

ad of type Advertising, readonly

• The object that exposes the Advertising functionality.

2. Advertising interface

interface Advertising {
  Promise create (RequestOptions requestOptions);
};

2.1 Methods

• Parameter: options
• Type: RequestOptions
• Nullable: N
• Optinal: N
• Return type: Promise

2.2 Steps

1. The create method when invoded Must run the following steps:

1. Create a View with input options. Banner or Interstitial.
2. Return a new Promise object.
3. If an error occurs call promise's error method.
4. When the method has been successfully completed, call success method of the promise.

3. Advertise interface

interface Advertise {
  Promise destroy ();
  Promise show (boolean show);
  attribute EventHandler onopen;
  attribute EventHandler onclose;
};

3.1 Attributes

onopen

• Handles the touch event, fired when an ad is opened by user.

onclose

• No parameters.
• Return type: Promise

show

• Nullable: N
• Optinal: N
• Return type: Promise

3.3 Steps

1. The destroy method when invoded Must run the following steps:

1. Destroy the ad.
2. Return a new Promise object.
3. If an error occurs call promise's error method.
4. When the method has been successfully completed, call success method of the promise.

2. The request method when invoded Must run the following steps:

1. request an ad from server.
2. Return a new Promise object.
3. If an error occurs call promise's error method.
4. When the method has been successfully completed, call success method of the promise.

3. The show method when invoded Must run the following steps:

1. Show ad when show is true. Hide ad when show is false.
2. Return a new Promise object.
3. If an error occurs call promise's error method.
4. When the method has been successfully completed, call success method of the promise.

4. RequestOptions interface

The Advertising interface exposes the Advertising functionality.

interface RequestOptions {
  attribute DOMString service;
  attribute DOMString publisherId;
  attribute AdType type;
  optional attribute AdSize size;
  optional attribute boolean bannerAtTop;
  optional attribute boolean overlap;
}

4.1 Attributes

service of type DOMString

• Represents a unique identifier of the provider. Like, "admob", etc.

publisherId of type DOMString

• Represents a unique identifier of the publisher.

}

enum AdSize {
  "BANNER",
  "IAB_MRECT",
  "IAB_BANNER",
  "IAB_LEADERBOARD",
  "SMART_BANNER"
}

6. Example

xwalk.experimental.ad.create({
    "service" : "admob",
    "publisherId" : "ca-app-pub-xxx/4806197152",
    "type" : "banner",
    "size" : "SMART_BANNER",
    "bannerAtTop" : false,
    "overlap" : false
}).then(
    function(ad) {
      ad.addEventListene("open", function(evt) {
        console.log("Ad is opened");
        ad.show(true);
      })  
      ad.addEventListene("close", function(evt) {
        console.log("Ad is closed");
      })  
    },  
    function(err) {
      console.log("Failed to create ad")
