Initialize manager

This example demonstrates how to initialize the DocSpace manager using the JavaScript SDK.

Before you start

Please make sure you are using a server environment to run the HTML file because the JavaScript SDK must be launched on the server. You need to add the URL of your server's root directory to the Developer Tools section of DocSpace.

Full example
<!-- Step 1: HTML Setup -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>Init Manager</title>

<!-- Replace with your actual portal URL -->
<script src="{PORTAL_SRC}/static/scripts/sdk/1.0.1/api.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
<!-- SDK iframe -->
<iframe id="ds-frame"></iframe>
</body>

<!-- Step 2: JavaScript SDK Logic -->
<script>
function onAppReady() {
const frame = DocSpace.SDK.frames["ds-frame"];
console.log(frame);
}

const config = {
frameId: "ds-frame",
width: "100%",
height: "700px",
events: {
onAppReady,
},
};

const docSpace = DocSpace.SDK.initManager(config);
</script>
</html>

Step 1. Set HTML structure

Create an HTML page with a frame element that will load the DocSpace manager.

<!-- Step 1: HTML Setup -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>Init Manager</title>

<!-- Replace with your actual portal URL -->
<script src="{PORTAL_SRC}/static/scripts/sdk/1.0.1/api.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
<!-- SDK iframe -->
<iframe id="ds-frame"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
info

The API JavaScript file can normally be found in the following DocSpace folder: {PORTAL_SRC}/static/scripts/sdk/1.0.1/api.js where {PORTAL_SRC} is the name of the server with the ONLYOFFICE DocSpace installed.

Step 2. JavaScript SDK logic

Configure and initialize the manager using the initManager() method. Attach an event listener to handle the app readiness.

function onAppReady() {
const frame = DocSpace.SDK.frames["ds-frame"];
console.log(frame);
}

const config = {
frameId: "ds-frame",
width: "100%",
height: "700px",
events: {
onAppReady,
},
};

const docSpace = DocSpace.SDK.initManager(config);
