Introduction

HDC can be integrated with 3rd party websites and provide both static and interactive view on the data.

A static images can be delivered through a dedicated API interface that takes object information and other configuration parameters. To find out more please refer to (sv) HOPAGetView4Object manual. 

For interactive integrations please start with reviewing a sample integration page provided for each application

Embedding

HDC Application can be loaded in anonymous mode (see (sv) Anonym åtkomst). 

To load the application, design an iframe location on your webpage that can look like this:

<div> <iframe width="800px" height="800px" class="hdcFrame"></iframe> </div>

Application Parameters

To load the application in a proper state, several important URL parameters must be used. 

If the parameters are not provided, the application will load in it's normal state.

Communication

Direct communication with an application running within an iframe is not allowed. To achieve a bi-directional communication HDC is using a Window.postMessage() mechanism (Link)

All functions exposed by (sv) Viewerns inbyggda-API are available through this method as well. 

Please check the source of a sample page messageTester.html for samples on how to call and receive notifications from HDC Embedded application.
