Below are the details for all the events that are currently supported by Statflo.

The following events can be published from the widget so that the app can trigger certain functionality.

data: {
  name: string;
  expand: boolean;

To view all MDN's window.postMessage() security concerns click here.

The primary concern in this package is the target origin of the window.postMessage() API as described by MDN:

Always specify an exact target origin, not *, when you use postMessage to send data to other windows. A malicious site can change the location of the window without your knowledge, and therefore it can intercept the data sent using postMessage.

By default, the target origin will be the url of the widget you register with the Statflo API.

Once your widget has been deployed and is ready to be integrated into the application, please reach out to the Statflo team.
