Simple Frame Postman
/**
Simple Frame Postman
version 1.1.2
Author: Maciej "Nux" Jaros
License: CC-BY or MIT (at ones choosing)
Usage (simple setup):
// setup
var oPostman = new FramePostman({
strDestFrameId : 'iframe_id', // id of a frame (or iframe) element that will receive messages
strDestFrameDomain : "nux:8081", // domain of the frame e.g. 'www.example.com', 'www.example.com:8080'...
strMsgSourceDomain : "localhost:8081" // domain of the sender (the window that is sending the message) formated as above
});
// sending data example
document.getElementById("send-button").onclick = function(e)
{
oPostman.send(document.getElementById("msg").value);
e.preventDefault();
};
// receive data (in another frame)
oPostman.initReceiver(function(strMsg)
{
document.getElementById("test").textContent = "parent said: " + strMsg;
});
More advanced setup (with RegExp match instead of strMsgSourceDomain):
var oPostman = new FramePostman({
strDestFrameId : 'iframe_id', // id of a frame (or iframe) element that will receive messages
strDestFrameDomain : "nux:8081", // domain of the frame e.g. 'www.example.com', 'www.example.com:8080'...
// Domain of the sender regexp match (only for advanced users!).
// Note. Use "://" match at the begining of your regexp and $ at the end to avoid too broad matches.
reMsgSourceBaseUrls : /:\/\/(localhost(:[0-9]+)?|nux(:[0-9]+)?|nuxlap7(:[0-9]+)?)$/
});
