Embedded JavaScript events

After you've created an embed — this can be done publicly, privately, with signed embedding, or through the API — you can interact with those iframes using JavaScript. You can make your page more dynamic, based on the status of the embedded item, or even make changes to the embedded item from your web page.

Be aware that Looker does not control the order in which browsers dispatch events to web applications. This means that the order of events is not guaranteed across browsers or platforms. Be sure to write your JavaScript appropriately to account for the event handling of different browsers.

You can leverage JavaScript two ways for Looker embedded content:

Using Looker's embed Software Development Kit (SDK), described on the Embed SDK documentation page
Using JavaScript events, described in the Accessing Events in JavaScript section on this page

Preparation

You'll need to take a few actions before you can interact with the embedded iframe:

Add an ID to the Iframe
Add the embed domain to the Iframe src attribute
Add the embed domain to the allowlist

Adding an ID to the iframe

One of the things you'll need to do later is validate that the information you're working with has actually come from Looker's iframe. To facilitate this, make sure you add an ID to the iframe, if you haven't already. In the following example, we've added id="looker":

<iframe id="looker" src="https://instance_name.looker.com/embed/dashboards/1"></iframe>

Adding the embed domain to the iframe `src` attribute

In the iframe's src, add the domain where the iframe is being used. In the following example, we've added ?embed_domain=https://mywebsite.com":

<iframe
  id="looker"
  src="https://instance_name.looker.com/embed/dashboards/1?embed_domain=https://mywebsite.com">
</iframe>

If you're using signed embedding, make sure you add the embed_domain to the embed URL.

Do not include a trailing slash (/) in the embed_domain.

Adding the embed domain to the allowlist

Finally, you'll need to add the domain where the iframe is being used to the allowlist on the Embed page of Looker's Admin panel.

Enter the domain where the iframe is being used. After typing it, be sure to hit the Tab key so that the domain appears in a box. Do not include a trailing slash (/) in the domain URL.
Select the Update button.

You can use the * wildcard in the allowlist to create a domain pattern. For example, https://*.mycompany.com would allow both https://analytics.mycompany.com and https://data.mycompany.com.

If you are using cookieless embedding with Looker 23.8 or later, the embed domain can be specified when the cookieless session is acquired. This is an alternative to adding it to the allowlist using the Admin > Embed panel. Review the security best practices if you decide to take advantage of this feature.

Retrieving data from the iframe

After completing the preparation steps, you can access the events passed between the Looker iframe and your domain by listening for postMessage events.

Be sure to check that the events have come from the Looker iframe and domain to avoid malicious messages.

The embedded iframe can create a few event types, as described in the Event type reference section on this page.

Accessing events in JavaScript

Here is an example of listening for these events in native JavaScript, then logging them to the console:

window.addEventListener("message", function(event) {
  if (event.source === document.getElementById("looker").contentWindow) {
    if (event.origin === "https://instance_name.looker.com") {
      console.log(JSON.parse(event.data));
    }
  }
});

Here is an example of listening for these events in jQuery, then logging them to the console:

$(window).on("message", function(event) {
  if (event.originalEvent.source === $("#looker")[0].contentWindow) {
    if (event.origin === "https://instance_name.looker.com") {
      console.log(JSON.parse(event.data));
    }
  }
});

Event type summary table

The following table summarizes event types. Select an event type to see the details about that event.

Event Type	Event Cause
`dashboard:loaded`	On dashboards where the tiles are not set to auto-run, a dashboard and its elements have loaded but queries are not yet running.
`dashboard:run:start`	A dashboard has begun loading, and its tiles have started loading and querying for data.

`dashboard:download`	A PDF of a dashboard has started downloading.
`dashboard:edit:start`	ADDED 22.20 A dashboard has been switched to edit mode. The `dashboard:save:complete` event will be fired when the dashboard is successfully saved.

`look:run:complete`	A Look has finished running the query.
`look:save:complete`	A Look has been edited and saved.

Event type reference

The embedded iframe can create many different types of events:

`dashboard:loaded`

On dashboards where the tiles are not set to auto-run, this event is created after a dashboard and its elements have loaded but before queries are run.

Making changes to the iframe

After you've prepped your iframe for data retrieval, you can make changes to the iframe with the following steps:

Write your request in JSON.
Post the request to the iframe's contentWindow.

Writing your request in JSON

You can make several changes to the iframe, which you'll submit in JSON form. The available options are described in the Action reference section on this page. Don't forget to use JSON.stringify to turn your action into JSON, like this:

var my_request = JSON.stringify(
  {
    type: "dashboard:run"
  }
);

Posting the request to the iframe's `contentWindow` property

Finally, post your message to the iframe's contentWindow, like this:

var my_iframe = document.getElementById("my_iframe_id");

my_iframe.contentWindow.postMessage(my_request, 'https://instance_name.looker.com');
