Out-flow

eLimu Games PostMessage

Overview

eLimu Games and the parent app communicate through the postMessage API, exchanging data and triggering actions that facilitate seamless interaction. The data structure and actions are predefined, allowing the games to inform the parent app about various states and to request actions.

eLimu Games send out data to inform you of game state or data update changes. Partners are expected to make use of this for data persistency on their end or use as they see fit.

Data Structure

The messages exchanged between the app and the games follow a consistent format:

let data = {
  "action": string,
  "payload": object,
  }

Example update_user_data: Sent to the parent app at some point in a stated logic to update user data on partner's end for data persistency.

const outflowData = {
  "action": "update_user_data",
  "payload": {
    "dataKey": "kpiKey1",
    "value"   : 100,
};
