Advanced tools
If you need to build the code for this package, you just need to either run the npm run build
command, or if you want to build it in watch mode, just run npm run dev
.
First thing is to install the package, as a dependency of your project.
npm install --save @hs-web-team/adblocker-detect
Once installed you need to simply import the checkAdblock
function in your module. Here an example:
import { checkAdblock } from '@hs-web-team/adblocker-detect';
/**
* Checks the various strategies to detect an AdBlocker
*/
const hasAdBlockerWrapper = async () => {
const adblocker = await checkAdblock();
if (adblocker) {
const adblockerElement = document.createElement('div');
adblockerElement.id = 'adblocker-detected';
adblockerElement.innerHTML = `
<div class="adblocker-detected">
<h2>Adblocker detected</h2>
<p>
Your browser is blocking ads.
</p>
</div>
`;
document.body.appendChild(adblockerElement);
}
};
hasAdBlockerWrapper();
And that's it, you are good to go!
Once called for the first time, a global variable is created, which is used to store the state of the results of the checks. You can invoke the state by calling window.hs_hasAdBlocker
.
