FrameCourier requires frames to be named. This name will be used as the target of communication of FrameCourier.sendMessage
<body>
<iframe courier-name="myframe" src="/myframe.html"></iframe>
</body>FrameCourier.listen(
'my event',
function(payload) { alert(payload); }
);FrameCourier.send(
'myframe', // target frame name
'my event', // event (listener)
'my message' // payload
);Use built in response callbacks to send messages back to the originating frame.
FrameCourier.listen(
'my event',
function(payload, respond) { alert(payload); respond('response payload'); }
);FrameCourier.send(
'myframe', // target frame name
'my event', // action (listener)
'my message', // payload
function(responsePayload) { alert('got response: ' + responsePayload); }
