IframeMananger is a lightweight javascript plugin which helps you comply with GDPR by completely removing iframes initially and setting a notice relative to that service. Iframes are loaded only after consent.

The plugin was mainly developed to aid CookieConsent with iframe management.

            <script src="iframemanager.js" defer></script>
            <script src="app.js" defer></script>
        <body>
      • Configure iframemanager inside app.js:

        (function(){
        
            var manager = iframemanager();
        
            // Example with youtube embed
            manager.run({
                currLang: 'en',
                services : {
                    youtube : {

                    }
                }
            });
        })();
    • As inline script

      <body>
        ...
        <script src="iframemanager.js" defer></script>
      
        <!-- Inline script -->
        <script>
          window.addEventListener('load', function(){
      
              var manager = iframemanager();

                          },
                          languages : {
                              en : {
                                  notice: 'This content is hosted by a third party. By showing the external content you accept the <a rel="noreferrer" href="https://www.youtube.com/t/terms" title="Terms and conditions" target="_blank">terms and conditions</a> of youtube.com.',

                  }
              });
          });
        </script>
      <body>
  4. Create a div (will contain the iframe) with data-service and data-id attributes:

    <div data-service="youtube" data-id="<video-id>"></div>

Configuration options

All available options for the <div> element:

<div
    data-service="<service-name>"
    data-id="<resource-id>"
    data-params="<iframe-query-parameters>"
    data-thumbnail="<path-to-image>"
    data-autoscale
    data-ratio="<x:y>">
</div>
  • data-service : [String, Required] name of the service (must also be defined in the config. object)
  • data-id : [String, Required] unique id of the resource (example: video id)
  • data-params : [String] iframe query parameters
  • data-thumbnail : [String] path to custom thumbnail
  • data-ratio : [String] custom aspect ratio (Available values.)[v1.1.0]
  • data-autoscale : specify for responsive iframe (fill parent width + scale proportionally)

How to set attributes on the iframe element

You can set set attribute by using the following syntax

  • data-iframe-<attribute> [String] note: replace <attribute> with a valid attribute name. [v1.1.0]

Example:

<div
    data-service="..."
    data-id="..."
    data-autoscale
    data-iframe-id="myGoogleMapsEmbed"
    data-iframe-loading="lazy"
    data-iframe-frameborder="0">
</div>

All available options for the config. object:

{
    currLang: 'en',     // current language of the notice (must also be defined in the "languages" object below)
    autoLang: false,    // if enabled => use current client's browser language
                        // instead of currLang [OPTIONAL]

    services : {
        myservice : {

            embedUrl: 'https://myservice_embed_url>/{data-id}',

            // set valid url for automatic thumbnails   [OPTIONAL]
            thumbnailUrl: 'https://<myservice_embed_thumbnail_url>/{data-id}',

            // global iframe settings (apply to all iframes relative to current service) [OPTIONAL]
            iframe : {
                allow : 'fullscreen',           // iframe's allow attribute
                params : 'mute=1&start=21'      // iframe's url query parameters

                // function run for each iframe configured with current service
                onload : function(data_id, setThumbnail){
                    console.log("loaded iframe with data-id=" + data_id);
                }
            },

            // cookie is set if the current service is accepted
            cookie : {
                name : 'cc_youtube',            // cookie name
                path : '/',                     // cookie path          [OPTIONAL]
                samesite : 'lax',               // cookie samesite      [OPTIONAL]
                domain : location.hostname      // cookie domain        [OPTIONAL]
            },

            languages : {
                en : {
                    notice: 'Html <b>notice</b> message',
                    loadBtn: 'Load video',          // Load only current iframe
                    loadAllBtn: 'Don\'t ask again'  // Load all iframes configured with this service + set cookie
                }
            }
        },

        anotherservice : {
            ...
        }
    }
}

Any other property specified inside the iframe object, will be applied directly to the iframe element as an attribute.

Example: add frameborder and style attributes:

{
    // ...

    services : {
        myservice : {
            // ...

            iframe : {
                // ...

                frameborder: '0',
                style: 'border: 4px solid red;'
            }
        }
    }
}

Note: thumbnailUrl can be static string, dynamic string or a function:

  • static string : "https://path_to_image/image.png"
  • dynamic string : "https://myservice_embed_url/{data-id}"
  • function :
    ...
    thumbnailUrl : function(data_id, setThumbnail){
        // fetch thumbnail url here based on data_id of the current element ...
        var url = 'fetched_url';
    
        // pass obtained url to the setThumbnail function
        setThumbnail(url);
    },
    ...

APIs

The plugin exposes 3 main methods:

  • .run(<config_object>)
  • .acceptService(<service_name>)
  • .rejectService(<service_name>)

Example usage:

// accept specific service only
manager.acceptService('youtube');

// accept all services (for example if user has given full consent to cookies)
manager.acceptService('all');

// reject specific service
manager.rejectService('youtube');

// reject all services (for example when user opts out of cookies)
manager.rejectService('all');

Both acceptService and rejectService work the same way:

  1. set/erase cookie
  2. create/remove iframes
