Tools

A tool provides a larger area where apps will have total control of the presented content and interactions inside an iframe. When shown, the iframe will be added and load the url provided by your app. And when closed the iframe will be removed. In Video Consultation, a tool can exist either on the shopper or agent side, or both, but they are shown and interacted with individually.

On desktop browsers a tool is shown to the right of the main content view, while it is put ontop of it for mobile browsers.

Only one tool can be shown at once, and switching to another tool will replace the current one.

A tool can always be opened and closed manually by the user via a menu action and close button.

Replacing built-in tools​

We allow replacing some built-in tools that otherwise normally would be provided by Bambuser, see list below

  • vto-session - The tool that is used to show and alter the Virtual try-on session

Access during development​

When developing a tool, you may want that tool to show directly rather than navigating through the UI until you reach it every time. Just add a query parameter to the Bambuser App Development URL e.g. tool=<your-tool-id> to directly show that tool.
