Events

You can attach and subscribe to events in order to run logic in your app when something happens in Stories. This way, you can:

  • control what is shown,
  • override events from StorifyMe stories,
  • intercept click events and run internal logic,
  • and many other use cases

Example code​

The best way to attach listeners is by overriding native StorifyMe events:

main.dart
  @override
  void onLoad(int widgetId, String storiesJson) {
    debugPrint("onLoad: $storiesJson");
  }

  @override
  void onFail(String exceptionMessage) {
    debugPrint("onFail: $exceptionMessage");
  }

  @override
  void onStoryOpened(String storyJson, int index) {
    debugPrint("onStoryOpened: $storyJson");
  }

  @override
  void onStoryClosed(String storyJson) {
    debugPrint("onStoryClosed: $storyJson");
  }

  @override
  void onAction(String type, String dataJson) {
    debugPrint("onAction: $type");
  }

  @override
  void onEvent(String type, String dataJson) {
    debugPrint("onAction: $type");
  }

  @override
  void onStoryShared(String storyJson) {
    debugPrint("onStoryShared: $storyJson");
  }

onLoad()​

onLoad method is invoked when the widget loads successfully. 

  @override
  void onLoad(int widgetId, String storiesJson) {
    debugPrint("onLoad: $storiesJson");
  }

onFail()​

onFail method is invoked when the widget loading fails. Use this even to for example hide the widget, or re-try loading. 

  @override
  void onFail(String exceptionMessage) {
    debugPrint("onFail: $exceptionMessage");
  }

onStoryOpened()​

onStoryOpened method is invoked any time a user opens a story. 

  @override
  void onStoryOpened(String storyJson, int index) {
    debugPrint("onStoryOpened: $storyJson");
  }

onStoryClosed()​

onStoryClosed method is invoked when the user closes the story and the full screen preview. 

  @override
  void onStoryClosed(String storyJson) {
    debugPrint("onStoryClosed: $storyJson");
  }

onAction()​

onAction method is invoked when the user engages with one of the engaging components. This way you can override for example a button click event and instead of opening the product details page on the website, you can open it in the app itself.

Or when they answer on the quiz question, based on the answer, you might want to send them to some specific page.

 @override
  void onAction(String type, String dataJson) {
    debugPrint("onAction: $type");
  }

onEvent()​

onEvent method is invoked every time some analytics even is happening. It can be a slide view event, engaging element answer or similar.

Adding different analytics

While this method can be used to collect analytics on your side, we suggest adding the additional analytics processors in StorifyMe admin app under integrations.

  @override
  void onEvent(String type, String dataJson) {
    debugPrint("onAction: $type");
  }

onStoryShared()​

onStoryShared method is invoked when the user shares the story. 

  @override
  void onStoryShared(String storyJson) {
    debugPrint("onStoryShared: $storyJson");
  }
