Examples

Makes sure all your calls to the plugin happen after the cordova onDeviceReady event has fired.

Simple setup and call

AppRate.preferences.storeAppURL = {
  ios: '<my_app_id>',
  android: 'market://details?id=<package_name>',
  windows: 'ms-windows-store://pdp/?ProductId=<the apps Store ID>',
  blackberry: 'appworld://content/[App Id]/',
  windows8: 'ms-windows-store:Review?name=<the Package Family Name of the application>'
};

AppRate.promptForRating();

Don't Call rate dialog immediately

AppRate.promptForRating(false);

If false is not present it will ignore usesUntilPrompt, promptAgainForEachNewVersion, and button logic, it will prompt every time.

Override dialog button callback

AppRate.preferences.callbacks.onButtonClicked = function(buttonIndex) {
  console.log("onButtonClicked -> " + buttonIndex);
};

Set custom language

AppRate.preferences.useLanguage = 'ru';

Set custom Locale object

Note: %@ patterns in title and message will be automatically replaced with AppRate.preferences.displayAppName

AppRate.preferences.customLocale = {
  title: "Would you mind rating %@?",
  message: "It won’t take more than a minute and helps to promote our app. Thanks for your support!",
  cancelButtonLabel: "No, Thanks",
  laterButtonLabel: "Remind Me Later",
  rateButtonLabel: "Rate It Now",
  yesButtonLabel: "Yes!",
  noButtonLabel: "Not really",
  appRatePromptTitle: 'Do you like using %@',
  feedbackPromptTitle: 'Mind giving us some feedback?',
};

Full setup

AppRate.preferences = {
  displayAppName: 'My custom app title',
  usesUntilPrompt: 5,
  promptAgainForEachNewVersion: false,
  inAppReview: true,
  storeAppURL: {
    ios: '<my_app_id>',
    android: 'market://details?id=<package_name>',
    windows: 'ms-windows-store://pdp/?ProductId=<the apps Store ID>',
    blackberry: 'appworld://content/[App Id]/',
    windows8: 'ms-windows-store:Review?name=<the Package Family Name of the application>'
  },
  customLocale: {
    title: "Would you mind rating %@?",
    message: "It won’t take more than a minute and helps to promote our app. Thanks for your support!",
    cancelButtonLabel: "No, Thanks",
    laterButtonLabel: "Remind Me Later",
    rateButtonLabel: "Rate It Now",
    yesButtonLabel: "Yes!",
    noButtonLabel: "Not really",
    appRatePromptTitle: 'Do you like using %@',
    feedbackPromptTitle: 'Mind giving us some feedback?',
  },
  callbacks: {
    handleNegativeFeedback: function(){
      window.open('mailto:[email protected]','_system');
    },
    onRateDialogShow: function(callback){
      callback(1) // cause immediate click on 'Rate Now' button
    },
    onButtonClicked: function(buttonIndex){
      console.log("onButtonClicked -> " + buttonIndex);
    }
  }
};
