✔ SUPER SMALL bits of code that check if a cState-powered status page (using its read-only API) has active issues; if they do, an alert can be shown, or you can write a custom callback. Or, it is possible to simply embed a dot indicator in a place like your footer.

Prerequisites

• You have a cState status page set up with a read-only API
• You have modified your headers (for Netlify users, it's the netlify.toml file in the root) to allow for cross-origin access
• Your browser (or environment) supports fetch()

The demo page uses this for its netlify.toml:

[[headers]]
    for = "/*.json"
    [headers.values]
      Access-Control-Allow-Origin = "*"

For vercel.json:

{
  "headers": [
    {
      "source": "/(.*)",
      "headers": [
        { "key": "Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "value": "*" },
        { "key": "Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "value": "GET,OPTIONS" },
        { "key": "Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "value": "X-CSRF-Token, X-Requested-With, Accept, Accept-Version, Content-Length, Content-MD5, Content-Type, Date, X-Api-Version" }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

No UI needed?

The basic-v1.js file has the basic JavaScript you can use from v1.

First UI: Dot Indicator

Grab the code from dot-indicator.js and add it to your page.

Modify the embed to your liking. Make sure to define your status page link variable.

This is a great option for footers and if you want to have a persistent icon showing that your services are online / there are no posted issues.

This code is only run on page load.

There is an example in dot-indicator.html. View it here.

Second UI: Alert Box

Grab the code from dialog.js.

Modify the embed to your liking:

• You might also want to change the text if your main user language is not English.
• You might want to not show this alert if there is a notice type issue (like for maintenance announcements). By default, the alert shows for all status-impacting alerts.
• You might want to change the colors if you have, for example, a dark website.
• By default the code only runs on page load but can be edited to do so every x seconds or programatically.
