JavaScript API

Wized offers a JavaScript API to extend your web apps with custom logic, providing access to the following features:

The project configuration.
The Data Store.
The Wized Elements.
Global events.
Request helpers.

Most of these functionalities can be accessed right from inside the Function Editor, but in some cases you might want to use the JavaScript API directly from your own code.

Initialize

The following wrapper will ensure that the Wized API is loaded before executing your code:

window.Wized = window.Wized || []; 
window.Wized.push((Wized) => {
  // Your code goes here
});

The `Wized` object

`Wized.version`

Type: string

Returns the current version of the Wized Embed library. This is useful when debugging your app.

window.Wized = window.Wized || [];
window.Wized.push((Wized) => {
  console.log(Wized.version);
});

`Wized.config`

Type: WizedConfig

Returns the project configuration that was loaded by Wized. This is useful when debugging your app.

window.Wized = window.Wized || [];
window.Wized.push((Wized) => {
  console.log(Wized.config);
});

`Wized.data`

Type: DataStore

Contains your project's Data Store, also known as your app's state.

typescript

type DataStore = {
  c: Record<string, unknown>;
  f: Record<string, RecursiveValue<Record<string, FormFieldValue>>>;
  i: Record<string, RecursiveValue<string>>;
  v: Record<string, unknown>;
  r: Record<string, WizedRequestData>;
  n: {
    href: string;
    path: string;
    parameter: Record<string, string>;
  };
};

type WizedRequestData = {
  number: number;
  data: unknown;
  isRequesting: boolean;
  hasRequested: boolean;
  statusText: string | null;
  status: number | null;
  ok: boolean | null;
};

Reading values from the Data Store

You can read any value from the Data Store by simply accessing the Wized.data object properties:

window.Wized = window.Wized || [];
window.Wized.push((Wized) => {
  console.log(Wized.data.v.my_variable);
  console.log(Wized.data.c.my_cookie);
});

Updating values in the Data Store

You can update any value in the Data Store by simply assigning a new value to the Wized.data object properties or mutating them:

window.Wized = window.Wized || [];
window.Wized.push((Wized) => {
  // Normal assignments
  Wized.data.v.my_variable = 'New value';
  Wized.data.n.parameter.id = 1234;

  // Array updates
  Wized.data.v.items.push('New item');
  Wized.data.v.items.sort();
  Wized.data.v.items = [...Wized.data.v.items, 'Newer item'];

  // Nested objects
  Wized.data.f.my_form = {
    name: 'John',
    email: 'john@doe.com',
  };
});

Updates to:

Variables (v.my_variable): will trigger any reactivity associated to them. This applies to any other field in the Data Store too.
Cookies (c.my_cookie): will set the new cookie value to the browser. To remove cookies, just set the value to null.
Parameters (n.parameter.my_parameter): will set the new parameter value to the current URL. To remove parameters, just set the value to null.
Inputs (i.my_input): will set the new input value to the input field. Each field expects the correct value type:
- Text inputs: string
- Number and range inputs: number
- Checkboxes: boolean
- Checkbox groups: Array<string>
- Radio groups: string
- Select dropdowns: string
- Multi-select dropdowns: Array<string>
Forms (f.my_form): any field of a form can be updated using the field name. The expected value types are the same as Inputs (i).
- Update a single field: Wized.data.f.my_form.name = "John"
- Update multiple fields: Wized.data.f.my_form = { name: 'John', email: 'john@doe.com' };
Requests (r.my_request): although it’s possible to update requests state using the API, it’s not recommended as it can create conflicts with the native Actions & Requests.

`Wized.requests.execute`

Type: (identifier: string) => Promise<WizedRequestData>

The function expects an identifier of the request that can be either the Request ID or the Request name.

Triggers a request and returns a Promise with the WizedRequestData.

Example:

typescript

window.Wized = window.Wized || [];
window.Wized.push(async (Wized) => {
  const result = await Wized.requests.execute('request_name');
  console.log(result);
});

`Wized.requests.waitFor`

Type: (identifier: string) => Promise<WizedRequestData>

The function expects an identifier of the request that can be either the Request ID or the Request name.

Returns a Promise that resolves when the request has finished. As opposite to Wized.requests.execute, this method does not execute the request, only awaits for it to finish.

window.Wized = window.Wized || [];
window.Wized.push(async (Wized) => {
  const result = await Wized.requests.waitFor('request_name'); // This will not trigger a request execution
  console.log(result);
});

`Wized.requests.getClient`

Type: (identifier: string) => Promise<WizedClientData>

Warning

This is an advanced feature and should only be used if you know what you are doing.

The function expects an identifier that can be either a Request ID, a Request name, an App ID or an App name.

Returns the client used to execute the request. This is useful when you need to interact with the SDK client directly via custom code.

Currently only Supabase and Firebase clients are supported, and the returned object will be one of the following:

typescript

type WizedClientData =
  | {
      type: 'supabase';
      version: string; // The version of the SDK, i.e. "2.39.7"
      client: SupabaseClient; // https://supabase.com/docs/reference/javascript/initializing
    }
  | {
      type: 'firebase';
      version: string; // The version of the SDK, i.e. "10.8.1"
      app: FirebaseApp; // https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/app.firebaseapp.md#firebaseapp_interface}
      auth: Auth; // https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/auth.auth.md#auth_interface
      firestore: Firestore; // https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/firestore_.firestore.md#firestore_class
      storage: FirebaseStorage; // https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/storage.firebasestorage.md#firebasestorage_interface
    };

You can use this method to interact with the client like this:

window.Wized = window.Wized || [];
window.Wized.push(async (Wized) => {
  const { version, client } = await Wized.requests.getClient('my_supabase_app');

  // You should check the client version before using it, as the API might change between versions
  if (version.startsWith('2')) {
    const user = await client.auth.getUser();
  }
});

Notice how in the example above we check the client version before using it. This is an important step because Wized may update the client version in the future, and the API might change between versions.

Important

Wized reserves the right to update client versions without prior notice, it's the developer's responsibility to keep their code prepared for newer versions of the SDKs.

In case you need additional methods from the original npm package, you can use the provided version to dynamically import it:

window.Wized = window.Wized || [];
window.Wized.push(async (Wized) => {
  const { version, auth } = await Wized.requests.getClient('my_firebase_app');

  // Dynamically import the Firebase package
  const firebaseAuth = await import(`https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/firebase@${version}/auth/+esm`);

  if (version.startsWith('10')) {
    firebaseAuth.signOut(auth);
  }
});

`Wized.elements.get`

Type: (name: string) => WizedElement

Returns a WizedElement instance by its name. If there are multiple elements with the same name, it will just return the first one.

window.Wized = window.Wized || [];
window.Wized.push((Wized) => {
  const element = Wized.elements.get('element_name');
});

`Wized.elements.getAll`

Type: (name?: string) => WizedElement[]

Returns an array of all the app's WizedElement instances. If a name is provided, it will return all the elements with that name.

window.Wized = window.Wized || [];
window.Wized.push((Wized) => {
  const elements = Wized.elements.getAll(); // Returns all the elements
  const elementsWithName = Wized.elements.getAll('element_name'); // Returns all the elements with the name "element_name"
});

`Wized.on`

Type: (eventName: string, listener: (event: Event) => void) => void

Listens for global events of the app. The following events are available:

`Wized.on('request', listener)`

This event is fired when a request is executed. The listener callback receives a WizedRequestData object.

window.Wized = window.Wized || [];
window.Wized.push((Wized) => {
  Wized.on('request', (result) => {
    console.log(`Request ${result.name} was executed`);
  });
});

The `WizedElement` object

For each element that is defined with a wized = "element_name" HTML attribute in Webflow, Wized creates a WizedElement instance that is used for several purposes:

Store element-specific state.
Store the element's actions and cleanups.
Store the element's node or anchor (when not rendered).
Store the element's clones when applying a Render List action.
Store the element's child tree.

`WizedElement.name`

Type: string

Returns the element name.

`WizedElement.rendered`

Type: boolean

Returns true if the element is currently rendered on the page, false otherwise. The rendered state is controlled via the Set Visibility action.

`WizedElement.node`

Type: Element

Returns the element's DOM node. This is useful when you need to interact with it directly instead of using Wized's actions.

The node is only present in the DOM when the element is rendered.

`WizedElement.anchor`

Type: Comment

The element's anchor is a placeholder comment that is put in place when the element is not rendered. This is useful when you need to interact with it directly instead of using Wized's actions.

The anchor is only present in the DOM when the element is not rendered.

`WizedElement.parent`

Type: WizedElement | undefined

Returns the element's parent WizedElement instance, if any.

`WizedElement.children`

Type: WizedElement[]

Returns an array of the element's child WizedElement instances.

`WizedElement.clones`

Type: WizedElement[]

Returns an array of the element's clones. Clones are created when applying a Render List action.

`WizedElement.data`

Type: Record<string, any>

A reactive object used to store element-specific data. This object is shared across all the element's tree (parents and children).

`WizedElement.on`

Type: (eventName: string, listener: (event: Event) => void) => void

Adds a lifecycle event listener to the element. The listener will be removed when the element is destroyed.

window.Wized = window.Wized || [];
window.Wized.push((Wized) => {
  const element = Wized.elements.get('element_name');

  element.on('attribute', (event) => {
    console.log(`Attribute ${event.key} was updated to ${event.value}`);
  });
});

The following events are available:
