Actions with elements

When the user taps the card, action calls the event specified in url.

{
  "actions": [{
    "log_id": "<unique_id>",
    "url": "div-action://<action_description>?other/parameters"
  }]
}

Parameter	Description
`url`	An event that is triggered by tapping the card.
`log_id`	Logging ID. It must be unique within a single card.

You can open the menu by tapping using the special menu_items parameter. If at least one action in the array has a menu_items field, tapping the element will show a menu, and all other fields will be ignored.

A separate type of action are actions that are triggered only by a long tap (longtap-actions).

Sets of states

The state element switches the appearance of content. You can use it to add:

Buttons that change their state (for example, the like icon when tapped).
Content that can be expanded (for example, a bridge card or a geo block).

One picture changes to another, but the user sees it as an interaction.

To switch to a different state, use url:

div-action://set_state?state_id=<div_data_state_id/div_id/state_id>&temporary=<bool>

The path is formed from the hierarchy root:

Parameter

Description

state_id

The path of the state inside state that needs to be activated. Set in div_data_state_id/div_id/state_id format.

Can be hierarchical: div_data_state_id/div_id_1/state_id_1/../div_id_n/state_id_n
Consists of:

div_data_state_id: state_id numeric value of the state object in data.
div_id: div_id value of the state object.
state_id: state_id value of the state object in state.

temporary

Indicates a state change:

true: The change is temporary and the state will revert to the original one when the element is re-created (default value).
false: The state change is permanent.

Empty state

If you need to hide a block, don't add a div field, but specify "state_id": "empty".

Nested states

If multiple states are nested in each other, write the full path from the root in order to switch:

div-action://set_state?state_id=[root state id]/[element's div_id]/[state's state_id]

Actions when appearing

visibility elements are triggered when an element is shown on the screen.

{
  "visibility_actions": [
    {
      "log_id":"content_01_visibility",

      "visibility_duration": 1000,
      "url": "div-action://none"
    }
  ]
}

Parameter	Description
`visibility_percentage`	Percentage of the element's visible area.
`visibility_duration`	The minimum time of its visibility.

Loading more data

To load more data in the form of a patch and update the current element, specify the download action:

div-action://download?url=<patch_url>

Parameter	Description
`url`	URL to get the patch.

Response format:

Scroll the gallery several dp forward or backward, or to a specific value

To scroll the gallery forward or backward, specify the following action:

div-action://scroll_forward?id=<div_id>&step=<dp_count>&overflow=<clamp|ring>
div-action://scroll_backward?id=<div_id>&step=<dp_count>&overflow=<clamp|ring>

To scroll the gallery to a specific value, specify the following action:

div-action://scroll_to_position?id=<div_id>&step=<dp_count>

Parameter	Description
`id`	ID of the element in which the current one must be switched.

Saving variables to temporary storage

To temporarily store variable values, specify the set_stored_value action:

div-action://set_stored_value?name=<variable_name>&value=<new_value>&type=<variable_type>&lifetyme=<lifetime_in_sec>

Parameter	Description
`name`	Variable name.
`value`	Value to save.
`type`	Variable type. Must be `string`, `number`, `integer`, `url`, or `color`.
`lifetyme`	Variable's storage lifetime in seconds. If you attempt to retrieve the variable after this time, it will be considered expired.

To get the value of a stored variable, use calculated expressions:

@{getStoredStringValue(name, default)}
@{getStoredNumberValue(name, default)}
@{getStoredIntegerValue(name, default)}
@{getStoredUrlValue(name, default)}
@{getStoredColorValue(name, default)}

The name parameter still represents the name of the stored variable, and default is the value to return if the variable can't be found or has expired.
