Legends of Learning Platform: JavaScript API

The LoL Game API is implemented as a sequence of asynchronous calls between an iframe parent and child. Use the browser's built in window.postMessage to send outgoing messages, and window.addEventListener("message", message => {...}) to receive messages. Details on each method are linked below.

Sending Messages

function LoLApi (messageName, payloadObj) {
    parent.postMessage({
        message: messageName,
        payload: JSON.stringify(payloadObj)
    }, 
'*')};

Receiving Messages

window.addEventListener("message", function (msg) {
    // Message name and JSONified payload
    const { messageName, payload } = msg.data;   
}

Messages

gameIsReady

Sent by the game to indicate it is ready to receive data.

LoLApi('gameIsReady', { 
    aspectRatio: "16:9",
    resolution: "1024x576",
});

start

Sent from the gameframe (following receipt of gameIsReady) to initialize gameplay (with optional lastGameProgress payload).

// payload received (JSON stringified)
{
  "languageCode": "en",
  "lastGameProgress": {
    score: 10,
    maxScore: 11,
    gameProvidedPayload: "{\\"developerProvidedPayload\\": true}"
  }
}

language

// payload received (JSON stringified)
{
  "welcome": "Welcome!",
  "readyToPlay": "Are you ready to play?",
  "greatJob": "Great job!",
  "pressContinue": "Press the next button to continue.",
  "onePlusOne": "One + One = Two"
}

loading progress

LoLApi('loadingProgress', { progress: 0.56 });

progress

LoLApi('progress', { currentProgress: 2, maximumProgress: 10 });

speakText

LoLApi('speakText', { key: 'welcome' });

((ILOLSDK_EXTENSION)LOLSDK.Instance.PostMessage).CancelSpeakText();

saveState

LoLApi('saveState', {data: {key: 'welcome'}});

loadState

window.addEventListener("message", function (msg) {
    // Message name and JSONified payload
    const { messageName, payload } = msg.data;   
    if (messageName === 'loadState') {
        // Your STATE handler here
        break;
    }
});

parent.postMessage({
        message: 'loadState',
        payload: '*'
    }, 
'*');

saveState with progress data

LoLApi('saveState', { currentProgress: 3, maximumProgress: 10, data: {key: 'welcome'}});

loadState and restore progress data

window.addEventListener("message", function (msg) {
    const { messageName, payload } = msg.data;   
    if (messageName === 'loadState') {
        const previousState = JSON.parse(payload);
        const currentProgress = previousState && previousState.currentProgress
        const maximumProgress = previousState && previousState.maximumProgress
        LoLApi('progress', {currentProgress, maximumProgress});
        // do something with the data inside payload
        break;
    }
});

parent.postMessage({
        message: 'loadState',
        payload: '*'
    }, 
'*');

complete

LoLApi('complete', {});

Code Example: Receiving Messages

const EVENT = {
    RECEIVED: {
        PAUSE: 'pause',
        RESUME: 'resume',
        QUESTIONS: 'questions',
        LANGUAGE: 'language',
        START: 'start',
        INIT: 'init',
        STATE: 'loadState'
    }
};

window.addEventListener("message", function (msg) {
    console.log('[PARENT => UNITY]', msg)

    switch (msg.data.messageName) {
        case EVENT.RECEIVED.PAUSE:
            // Your PAUSE handler here
            break;
        case EVENT.RECEIVED.RESUME:
            // Your RESUME handler here
            break;
        case EVENT.RECEIVED.QUESTIONS:
            // Your QUESTIONS handler here
            break;
        case EVENT.RECEIVED.LANGUAGE:
            // Your LANGUAGE handler here
            break;
        case EVENT.RECEIVED.START:
            // Your START handler here
            break;
        case EVENT.RECEIVED.STATE:
            // Your STATE handler here
            break;
        case EVENT.RECEIVED.INIT:
            break;
        default:
               console.log('Unhandled message: ' + msg);
    }
});
