# Cordova-Plugin-Apprate
A plugin to provide rate this app functionality into your cordova application
**PR's are greatly appreciated**
## Supported platforms
- iOS
- Android
- Windows
- Blackberry
## Installation Prerequisites
Choose your preferred browser plugin which will be used to open the store and install it:
- https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/cordova-plugin-safariviewcontroller
- https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser
NOTE: If you chose inappbrowser then make sure to add `openUrl: AppRate.preferences.openUrl` option to preferences if you will override the preference object. And if you chose cordova-plugin-safariviewcontroller then you must configure it with this plugin by setting:
```javascript
AppRate.preferences.openUrl = function (url) {
if (!window.SafariViewController) {
window.open(url, '_blank', 'location=yes');
}
else {
SafariViewController.isAvailable(function (available) {
if (available) {
SafariViewController.show({
url: url,
barColor: "#0000ff", // on iOS 10+ you can change the background color as well
controlTintColor: "#00ffff" // on iOS 10+ you can override the default tintColor
tintColor: "#00ffff", // should be set to same value as controlTintColor and will be a fallback on older ios
},
// this success handler will be invoked for the lifecycle events 'opened', 'loaded' and 'closed'
function(result) {
if (result.event === 'opened') {
console.log('opened');
} else if (result.event === 'loaded') {
console.log('loaded');
} else if (result.event === 'closed') {
console.log('closed');
}
},
function(msg) {
console.log("error: " + msg);
})
} else {
window.open(url, '_blank', 'location=yes');
}
});
}
};
```
## Installation
- From cordova plugins registry: `cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-apprate`
- From github repository: `cordova plugin add https://github.com/pushandplay/cordova-plugin-apprate.git`
- For phonegap build add the following to your config.xml: ``
## Customization and usage
- Note: During development the submit button will be disabled and cannot be pressed. This is expected behavior per Apple when the app has not been downloaded from the app store. Details here: https://github.com/pushandplay/cordova-plugin-apprate/issues/182
## Options / Preferences
These options are available on the `AppRate.preferences` object.
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
| :------ | :---- | :------- | :----------- |
| useLanguage | String | null | custom BCP 47 language tag |
| displayAppName | String | '' | custom application title |
| promptAgainForEachNewVersion | Boolean | true | show dialog again when application version will be updated |
| usesUntilPrompt | Integer | 3 | count of runs of application before dialog will be displayed |
| inAppReview | Boolean | true | iOS Only. Write review directly in your application (iOS 10.3+), limit of 3 prompts per year. Fallback to opening the store within the app for other iOS versions. Use false to use in app browser. |
| simpleMode | Boolean | false | enabling simplemode would display the rate dialog directly without the negative feedback filtering flow|
| callbacks.onButtonClicked | Function | null | call back function. called when user clicked on rate-dialog buttons |
| callbacks.onRateDialogShow | Function | null | call back function. called when rate-dialog showing |
| storeAppURL.ios | String | null | application id in AppStore |
| storeAppURL.android | String | null | application URL in GooglePlay |
| storeAppURL.windows | String | null | application URL in Windows Store |
| storeAppURL.blackberry | String | null | application URL in AppWorld |
| storeAppURL.windows8 | String | null | application URL in WindowsStore |
| customLocale | Object | null | custom locale object |
## Examples
Makes sure all your calls to the plugin happen after the cordova `onDeviceReady` event has fired.
### Simple setup and call
Note: windows does not need an URL as this is done by the native code.
```javascript
AppRate.preferences.storeAppURL = {
ios: '',
android: 'market://details?id=',
blackberry: 'appworld://content/[App Id]/',
windows8: 'ms-windows-store:Review?name='
};
AppRate.promptForRating();
```
### Don't Call rate dialog immediately
```javascript
AppRate.promptForRating(false);
```
If false is not present it will ignore usesUntilPrompt, promptAgainForEachNewVersion, and button logic, it will prompt every time.
### Override dialog button callback
```javascript
AppRate.preferences.callbacks.onButtonClicked = function(buttonIndex) {
console.log("onButtonClicked -> " + buttonIndex);
};
```
### Set custom language
```javascript
AppRate.preferences.useLanguage = 'ru';
```
### Set custom Locale object
Note: `%@` patterns in `title` and `message` will be automatically replaced with `AppRate.preferences.displayAppName`
```javascript
AppRate.preferences.customLocale = {
title: "Would you mind rating %@?",
message: "It won’t take more than a minute and helps to promote our app. Thanks for your support!",
cancelButtonLabel: "No, Thanks",
laterButtonLabel: "Remind Me Later",
rateButtonLabel: "Rate It Now",
yesButtonLabel: "Yes!",
noButtonLabel: "Not really",
appRatePromptTitle: 'Do you like using %@',
feedbackPromptTitle: 'Mind giving us some feedback?',
};
```
### Full setup using SafariViewController
```javascript
AppRate.preferences = {
displayAppName: 'My custom app title',
usesUntilPrompt: 5,
promptAgainForEachNewVersion: false,
inAppReview: true,
storeAppURL: {
ios: '',
android: 'market://details?id=',
windows: 'ms-windows-store://pdp/?ProductId=',
blackberry: 'appworld://content/[App Id]/',
windows8: 'ms-windows-store:Review?name='
},
customLocale: {
title: "Would you mind rating %@?",
message: "It won’t take more than a minute and helps to promote our app. Thanks for your support!",
cancelButtonLabel: "No, Thanks",
laterButtonLabel: "Remind Me Later",
rateButtonLabel: "Rate It Now",
yesButtonLabel: "Yes!",
noButtonLabel: "Not really",
appRatePromptTitle: 'Do you like using %@',
feedbackPromptTitle: 'Mind giving us some feedback?',
},
callbacks: {
handleNegativeFeedback: function(){
window.open('mailto:feedback@example.com','_system');
},
onRateDialogShow: function(callback){
callback(1) // cause immediate click on 'Rate Now' button
},
onButtonClicked: function(buttonIndex){
console.log("onButtonClicked -> " + buttonIndex);
}
}
};
AppRate.preferences.openUrl = function (url) {
if (!window.SafariViewController) {
window.open(url, '_blank', 'location=yes');
}
else {
SafariViewController.isAvailable(function (available) {
if (available) {
SafariViewController.show({
url: url,
barColor: "#0000ff", // on iOS 10+ you can change the background color as well
controlTintColor: "#00ffff" // on iOS 10+ you can override the default tintColor
tintColor: "#00ffff", // should be set to same value as controlTintColor and will be a fallback on older ios
},
// this success handler will be invoked for the lifecycle events 'opened', 'loaded' and 'closed'
function(result) {
if (result.event === 'opened') {
console.log('opened');
} else if (result.event === 'loaded') {
console.log('loaded');
} else if (result.event === 'closed') {
console.log('closed');
}
},
function(msg) {
console.log("error: " + msg);
})
} else {
window.open(url, '_blank', 'location=yes');
}
});
}
};
AppRate.promptForRating();
```
### Full setup using inappbrowser
