Qubit Opentag JavaScript Library

Welcome to the Qubit Opentag wiki!

Simple package

Easy to use: Qubit Opentag JavaScript library has been initially developed by Qubit to help and simplify JavaScript serving for web sites. Especially with the ever growing number of online tools, today's developers and marketeers face a new challenge of managing and deploying various number of tags on their websites.
Optimum Design: After using this technology successfully on many high traffic sites, Qubit Team has decided to open up their Javascript and allow anyone to write their own container tag service.

Made for sharing

At Qubit we believe that Tag Management should be accessible to all businesses and website owners. With this in mind:

Qubit has created together with the Enterprise version, two free packages: (a) a hosted package which gives you up to a million page views per 30 days for free; (b) a package that lets you take the script and host it yourself.
Qubit has opened up its code so that the community can use it in their own websites as well as develop and evolve it.

Examples and Documentation

Opentag API follows well known OO JavaScript standards. To create a tag, an instance must be created with minimal configuration options. Although a minimal configuration is an empty object - it is recommended to name all tags:

	var aTag = new qubit.opentag.BaseTag({name: "My tag name"});

(to test this code open blank Opentag API page and open console)

Once tag instance is created, it can be run:

	aTag.run();

Empty tag, however, does not trigger anything. Let us have a tag that will load jQuery library and alerts jQuery presence:

	var aTag = new qubit.opentag.BaseTag({
		name: "My tag name",
		url: "http://code.jquery.com/jquery.js"
	});

	aTag.script = function() {
		alert("JQuery is present: " + !!jQuery);
	}

	aTag.run();

You will see alert saying "JQuery is present: true".

Example above could be run with shorter code:

	new qubit.opentag.BaseTag({
		name: "My tag name",
		url: "http://code.jquery.com/jquery.js",
		script : function() {
			alert("JQuery is present: " + !!jQuery);
		}
	}).run();

If you test this code in a browser, in console, there will be detailed logging information. To review the logs and display finest details, simply run:

	aTag.log.rePrint(5);

Tag API collects execution information for better debugging experience.
