changeBackground()​

changeBackground(surfaces, data): Promise<ShapeItem[]>

Parameters​

data​

any

Either an object representing the image metadata or a string representing the color in CCS format (for example: "DeepSkyBlue", "rgb(48,194,255)", "#30C2FF").

// Get the product loaded into the editor.

// Get metadata of an image in the public gallery.
const metaData = await editor.configuration.getImageMetadata("public:backgrounds/azure.jpg");

// Apply the image to the background of the first surface.

}

updateSurfaces()​

updateSurfaces(params): Promise<Product>

Replaces surfaces and returns a new product instance with the updated surfaces.

Parameters​

params​

IUpdateSurfaceOptionsByDefinition

Additional parameters for changing surfaces.

Returns​

Promise<Product>

A new product instance containing the changed surface.

Remarks​

By default, updateSurfaces moves only texts and image placeholders to new positions and drops other design elements. Note that this method changes the content of placeholders having the same layer names on the current Surface and in the new layout. To maintain the rest elements, set the replaceAll param to true. In this case, the rest of placeholders take content in a random order according to their type. If the old layout had more placeholders than the new layout, then extra placeholders are removed.

If the current and the new surfaces have different sizes, you can specify whether to update the surface size to match the new one by using the updateSurfaceSize param.

Example​

let product = await editor.getProduct();
let options = {
replaceAll: true,
definition: "7a6ecf23-1286-4e90-8f18-c7c1c77e3cb0",
surfaces: [0, 1],
newProductSurfaces: [1, 4]
};

await product.updateSurfaces(options);

getViolationData()​

getViolationData(): Promise<IViolationWarningData[]>

Returns​

Promise<IViolationWarningData[]>
