The Socket Research Team breaks down a malicious wrapper package that uses obfuscation to harvest credentials and exfiltrate sensitive data.
@typeform/embed
Advanced tools
**Typeform/embed** is the core embed library that lets you embed typeforms to your website using vanilla JavaScript.
@typeform/embed is an npm package that allows you to easily embed Typeform forms into your web applications. It provides various methods to integrate Typeform forms, including pop-ups, sliders, and inline embeds, making it versatile for different use cases.
Inline Embed
This feature allows you to embed a Typeform directly into a specified container on your webpage. You need to provide the Typeform ID and the container element where the form should be rendered.
const { createWidget } = require('@typeform/embed');
createWidget('YOUR_TYPEFORM_ID', {
container: document.querySelector('#typeform-container')
});
Popup Embed
This feature allows you to create a Typeform that opens in a popup when triggered. You need to provide the Typeform ID and set up an event listener to open the popup.
const { createPopup } = require('@typeform/embed');
const openPopup = createPopup('YOUR_TYPEFORM_ID');
document.querySelector('#open-popup-button').addEventListener('click', () => openPopup());
Slider Embed
This feature allows you to create a Typeform that slides in from the side of the screen. You need to provide the Typeform ID and set up an event listener to open the slider.
const { createSlider } = require('@typeform/embed');
const openSlider = createSlider('YOUR_TYPEFORM_ID');
document.querySelector('#open-slider-button').addEventListener('click', () => openSlider());
react-typeform-embed is a React component library for embedding Typeform forms in React applications. It offers similar functionalities to @typeform/embed but is specifically designed for React, making it easier to integrate into React projects.
typeform is another npm package that provides a JavaScript API for interacting with Typeform forms. It offers more advanced functionalities like form creation and response retrieval, which are not available in @typeform/embed.
surveyjs is a library for creating surveys and forms, similar to Typeform. It offers a wide range of customization options and supports various frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue. While it is not specifically for Typeform, it provides similar functionalities for creating and embedding forms.
Typeform/embed is the core embed library that lets you embed typeforms to your website using vanilla JavaScript.
Requirements:
Install using your favourite package manager:
yarn add @typeform/embed
or
npm install --save @typeform/embed
Import the lib, CSS and create your embed:
import { createWidget } from '@typeform/embed'
import '@typeform/embed/build/css/widget.css'
createWidget('<form-id>', { container: document.querySelector('#form') })
As HTML, the CSS is imported automatically. Place this code where you want to display your form.
<div data-tf-widget="<form-id>"></div>
<script src="//embed.typeform.com/next/embed.js"></script>
Via JavaScript for more control and specific integration.
<button id="button">open form</button>
<script src="//embed.typeform.com/next/embed.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//embed.typeform.com/next/css/popup.css" />
<script>
const { open, close, toggle, refresh } = window.tf.createPopup('<form-id>')
document.querySelector('#button').onclick = toggle
</script>
You can find <form-id>
from the public URL of your form:
https://form.typeform.com/to/<form-id>
Or from admin panel URL:
https://admin.typeform.com/form/<form-id>/*
For security purposes we prevent embedding typeorms in unsecure pages (via CSP headers). You can embed your typeform on pages served over HTTPS or via HTTP on localhost. You can also embed in wrapped progressive web apps.
<div id="form"></div>
<script>
const { refresh, unmount } = createWidget('<form-id>', {
container: document.querySelector('#form'),
...options,
})
</script>
The createWidget
method returns 2 functions:
createPopup('<form-id>', options)
createSlider('<form-id>', options)
createSidetab('<form-id>', options)
createPopover('<form-id>', options)
<button id="button">open form</button>
<script>
const { open, close, toggle, refresh } = createPopup('<form-id>')
document.querySelector('#button').onclick = toggle
</script>
Each of the create*
methods for modal windows return 4 functions:
Closing and opening a typeform in modal window will restart the progress from the beginning. However answers will be saved in browsers local storage.

data-tf-widget="<form-id>"
for widget embed (see example above)data-tf-
prefix and dashes in name (eg. autoFocus
becomes data-tf-auto-focus
)true
by omitting attribute value, (eg. <div ... data-tf-disable-footer></div>
data-tf-on-ready="myReadyFunction"
if this function is available on global scope (eg. window
)string[]
use comma-separated string, eg. transitiveSearchParams: ['foo', 'bar']
becomes data-tf-transitive-search-params="foo,bar"
object
pass comma-separated key=value pairs, eg. hidden: { foo: "f", bar: "b" }
becomes data-tf-hidden="foo=f,bar=b"
,
are used as delimiter for each value you will need to escape them with backward slash, eg. data-tf-hidden="foo=foo\,bar"
. In JavaScript you don't need to escape it.Properties open
and openValue
apply only to embed types that are opened by user action (all except widget). They define when to automatically open the typeform.
open: 'load'
openValue
leave undefined (not used)open: 'exit'
openValue
specify the sensitivity thresholdopen: 'scroll'
openValue
percentage of page scrolled (0 - 100) to open the formopen: 'time'
openValue
number of milliseconds to wait before opening the formFor details see behavioral demo.
You can use shareGaInstance: true
(or data-tf-share-ga-instance
) attribute if both your page and your typeform are using Google Analytics. This will make sure the session is shared and Google Analytics will track only 1 user when they visit you page with an embedded typeform.
If you have more than 1 Google Analytics tracking codes in your website you can provide an ID to specify which tracker to use, eg:
<div data-tf-widget="<form-id>" data-tf-share-ga-instance="UA-XXXXXX-XX"></div>
or
createPopup('<form-id>', { container, shareGaInstance: 'UA-XXXXXX-XX' })
You can listen to form events by providing callback methods:
<button id="btn">click</button>
<script src="//embed.typeform.com/next/embed.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//embed.typeform.com/next/css/widget.css" />
<script>
const { open } = window.tf.createPopup('<form-id>', {
onReady: ({ formId }) => {
console.log(`Form ${formId} is ready`)
},
onStarted: ({ formId, responseId }) => {
console.log(`Form ${formId} started with response ID ${responseId}`)
},
onQuestionChanged: ({ formId, ref }) => {
console.log(`Question in form ${formId} changed to ${ref}`)
},
onHeightChanged: ({ formId, ref, height }) => {
console.log(`Question ${ref} in form ${formId} has height ${height}px now`)
},
onSubmit: ({ formId, responseId }) => {
console.log(`Form ${formId} submitted, response id: ${responseId}`)
// to retrieve the response use `responseId` (you have to do it server-side)
// more details: https://developer.typeform.com/responses/
},
onClose: ({ formId }) => {
console.log(`Modal window with form ${formId} was closed`)
}
onEndingButtonClick: ({ formId, ref }) => {
console.log(`Ending button clicked in form ${formId}`)
// for plans with "Redirect from ending screen" feature you also receive `ref`:
console.log(`Ending button clicked in end screen ${ref}`)
}
})
document.querySelector('#btn').click = () => {
open()
}
</script>
Callback method receive payload object from the form. Each payload contains form ID to identify which form sent the event (see chaining typeforms below):
formId
(string)formId
(string)responseId
(string)formId
(string)ref
(string) identifies currently displayed questionformId
(string)ref
(string) identifies currently displayed questionheight
(number) current height of currently displayed questionformId
(string)responseId
(string) identifies the response, can be retrieved via Responses APIformId
(string)ref
(string) identifies the end screen (Note: this is available for plans with "Redirect from ending screen" feature only.)See callbacks example in demo package.
Custom icon provided string supports:
You can supply a target for typeform redirect (on submit or via ending). It works the same as target for anchor HTML element:
_parent
(default), opens in parent page_self
opens in the same embedded iframe as your typeform_top
opens in current browser tab (same as _parent
unless there are multiple nested iframes)_blank
opens in new tab, however it might be blocked by popup blockers.⚠️ Warning: Target _blank
is not working in Safari (both desktop and mobile) and triggers a popup warning in Chrome on Android. It works in Chrome and Firefox on desktop.
If you set target to _self
and also enable autoClose
option the iframe with your redirect will be closed before users are able to interact with it.
All embeds that are intended to be displayed over existing content in the website have z-index set to 10001. If you want to display content over your typeform you need to make sure it has higher z-index. However if you want your typeform to display over other content in your website you need to set its z-index to a value of 10000 or lower.
This is related to all embeds:
inlineOnMobile
is set)You can chain multiple typeforms inside an embed. You need to setup a redirect to another typeform:
typeform.com
domain in case you have a custom domain set upredirectTarget
/ data-tf-redirect-target
to _self
to make the redirect inside the embed iframeWhen you chain multiple typeforms they will be all displayed inside the embed and all embed options and callbacks will be preserved.
You can use formId
in the callback payload to identify which form is currently displayed.
When the library loads it will initialize all HTML embed codes already present in the page. However sometimes you might want to add HTML snippet to your page later and initialize it after it was added.
To load new snippets use:
window.tf.load()
If you need to reload all snippets in the page:
window.tf.reload()
You can see an example of this in reload-event.html.
