Adding scripts to your experience

When working in the editor, some experiences require that custom logic be run when certain events occur, since this logic depends on specific use cases, the editor has a script property where a custom javascript can be entered. This script will be executed during the run time (i.e., in the view mode)

Here is a sample script that will add a small timer to the upper left hand of your screen:

<script>

window.onload = function(){

var second = 0;

var minute = 0;

function addZero(n){

if(n<10) {return "0"+n}

else {return n;}

}

var h1 = document.createElement("h1");

h1.style['text-align'] = 'left';

h1.style['font-size'] = '30px';

h1.style['position'] = 'absolute';

h1.style['width'] = '100%';

h1.style['color'] = 'white';

h1.style['fontFamily'] = 'montserrat';

document.getElementById("app").appendChild(h1);

setInterval(function(){

h1.innerHTML = addZero(minute) + ":" + addZero(second);

second++;

if(second == 60){

minute++; second = 00;

}

}, 1000); }

</script>
