Respond to button actions in Capacitor SDK

If you are building paywalls using the Adapty paywall builder, it's crucial to set up buttons properly:

1. Add a button in the paywall builder and assign it either a pre-existing action or create a custom action ID.
2. Write code in your app to handle each action you've assigned.

This guide shows how to handle custom and pre-existing actions in your code.

Close paywalls

To add a button that will close your paywall:

1. In the paywall builder, add a button and assign it the Close action.
2. In your app code, implement a handler for the close action that dismisses the paywall.

info

In the Capacitor SDK, the close action triggers closing the paywall by default. However, you can override this behavior in your code if needed. For example, closing one paywall might trigger opening another.

import { adapty, createPaywallView } from '@adapty/capacitor';

const view = await createPaywallView(paywall);

const unsubscribe = view.setEventHandlers({
  onCloseButtonPress() {
    console.log('User closed paywall');
    return true; // Allow the paywall to close
  }
});

Open URLs from paywalls

tip

If you want to add a group of links (e.g., terms of use and purchase restoration), add a Link element in the paywall builder and handle it the same way as buttons with the Open URL action.

To add a button that opens a link from your paywall (e.g., Terms of use or Privacy policy):

1. In the paywall builder, add a button, assign it the Open URL action, and enter the URL you want to open.
2. In your app code, implement a handler for the openUrl action that opens the received URL in a browser.

info

In the Capacitor SDK, the window.open action triggers opening the URL by default. However, you can override this behavior in your code if needed.

import { adapty, createPaywallView } from '@adapty/capacitor';

const view = await createPaywallView(paywall);

const unsubscribe = view.setEventHandlers({
  onUrlPress(url) {
    window.open(url, '_blank');
    return false; // Don't close the paywall
  },
});

Log into the app

To add a button that logs users into your app:

1. In the paywall builder, add a button and assign it the Login action.
2. In your app code, implement a handler for the login action that identifies your user.

import { adapty, createPaywallView } from '@adapty/capacitor';

const view = await createPaywallView(paywall);

const unsubscribe = view.setEventHandlers({
  onCustomAction(actionId) {
    if (actionId === 'login') {
      // Navigate to login screen
      console.log('User requested login');
    }
  }
});

Handle custom actions

To add a button that handles any other actions:

1. In the paywall builder, add a button, assign it the Custom action, and assign it an ID.
2. In your app code, implement a handler for the action ID you've created.

For example, if you have another set of subscription offers or one-time purchases, you can add a button that will display another paywall:

const unsubscribe = view.setEventHandlers({
  onCustomAction(actionId) {
    if (actionId === 'openNewPaywall') {
      // Display another paywall
      console.log('User requested new paywall');
    }
  },
});
