Code example

// Function called if AdBlock is not detected
function adBlockNotDetected() {
    alert('AdBlock is not enabled');
}

resetOnEnd: true
 
// The number of milliseconds between each check
loopCheckTime: 50
 
// The number of negative checks after which there is considered that AdBlock is not enabled
// Time (ms) = 50*(5-1) = 200ms (per default)
loopMaxNumber: 5

Method available

// Allows to set options
// #options: string|object
// #value:   string
blockAdBlock.setOption(options, value);
 
// Allows to check if AdBlock is enabled
// The parameter 'loop' allows checking without loop several times according to the value of 'loopMaxNumber'
// Example: loop=true  => time~=200ms (time varies depending on the configuration)
//          loop=false => time~=1ms
// #loop: boolean (default: true)
blockAdBlock.check(loop);
 
// Allows to manually simulate the presence of AdBlock or not
// #detected: boolean (AdBlock is detected ?)
blockAdBlock.emitEvent(detected);
 
// Allows to clear all events added via methods 'on', 'onDetected' and 'onNotDetected'
blockAdBlock.clearEvent();
 
// Allows to add an event if AdBlock is detected
// #detected: boolean (true: detected, false: not detected)
// #fn:       function
blockAdBlock.on(detected, fn);
 
// Similar to blockAdBlock.on(true|false, fn)
blockAdBlock.onDetected(fn);
blockAdBlock.onNotDetected(fn);

Instance

(Available only from version 3.1 and more) By default, BlockAdBlock is instantiated automatically. To block this automatic instantiation, simply create a variable "blockAdBlock" with a value (null, false, ...) before importing the script.

<script>var blockAdBlock = false;</script> 
<script src="./blockadblock.js"></script>

After that, you are free to create your own instances:

blockAdBlock = new BlockAdBlock;
// and|or
myBlockAdBlock = new BlockAdBlock({
    checkOnLoad: true,
    resetOnEnd: true
});
