Dev Support

  • This can be implemented like so:

    var embed = Coral.createStreamEmbed({
      // Don't forget to include the parameters from the
      // "Embed On Your Site" section.
      events: function(events) {
        events.on("loginPrompt", function() {
          // Redirect user to a login page.
          location.href = "http://example.com/login";
        });
      },
    });

• If you'd like the nightly build, you can pull directly from the next branch
• Documentation related to v5 is located in our README in the next branch
• Please note that we currently do not support a migration path from v4 and below to v5; this will be coming in the future
