preSubmitCart​

preSubmitCart: PreSubmitCart

Function

Saves partial contact information without fully submitting the cart.

This method allows for incrementally saving customer information during the checkout process without finalizing the order. It's useful for multi-step checkout flows, saving checkout progress, or preparing a cart for later submission.

When contact information is pre-submitted, it's associated with the cart but doesn't trigger the final submission workflow. This allows for scenarios like saving contact details while continuing to shop, validating information before final submission, or creating a draft order to be finalized later.

The method also returns updated price modifiers which may have changed based on the submitted information (e.g., discount eligibility based on company or region).

Example​

// Save contact information from the first checkout step
const contactInfo = {
  fullName: 'Jane Smith',

Configuration Actions​

markOptionByBlockNameAndOptionCode​

markOptionByBlockNameAndOptionCode: MarkOptionByBlockNameAndOptionCode

Function

Selects an option using human-readable block name and option code, or sets a value for special widgets.

This convenience function allows for selecting options using their business identifiers rather than internal IDs. It's particularly useful for integrations and automated configurations where human-readable references are preferred over technical identifiers.

For standard option blocks, this method finds the option by its code and selects it. For special widget types (slider, text, number, color, etc.), the second parameter is interpreted as the input value rather than an option code.

Supported Widget Types​

Widget TypeSecond ParameterDescription
Standard (dropdown, swatch, etc.)optionCodeThe code of the option to select
SliderinputValueNumeric value within the slider's range
TextinputValueText string value
NumberinputValueNumeric value
ColorcolorValueHex color value (e.g., "#FF0000")

For more complex widgets (image, print on demand, engrave) or full control, use markOption directly. See the Programmatic Configuration Control guide.

Examples​

// Select a standard option by code
await markOptionByBlockNameAndOptionCode("TableTop", "FINISH-OAK");
// Set a slider value
await markOptionByBlockNameAndOptionCode("Width", 150);
// Set a text input value
await markOptionByBlockNameAndOptionCode("CustomLabel", "My Product");
// Set a number input value
await markOptionByBlockNameAndOptionCode("Quantity", "25");
// Set a custom color
await markOptionByBlockNameAndOptionCode("CustomColor", "#3498db");

The target instance and snap mesh identify the existing connection point. Without productId, the action uses the product currently selected for addition in Redux. Supplying productId overrides that selection for this placement only and does not change the selected-product observer state.

Occupied snapping points are rejected by default. Set force to true only when the integration intentionally permits more than one connection at the target snap. Forced placement still respects snap visibility, conditional rules, product compatibility, and collision validation.

Example​

// Add the currently selected product to a target snap point
await window.mimeeqApp.actions.addProductToSnappingPoint(instanceId, snapIdTo);

// Override the selected product for this placement
await window.mimeeqApp.actions.addProductToSnappingPoint(
  instanceId,
  snapIdTo,
  productId,
);

// Force an occupied target while preserving compatibility and collision checks
const added = await window.mimeeqApp.actions.addProductToSnappingPoint(
  instanceId,
  snapIdTo,
  productId,
  true,
);

Param​

Unique ID of the existing scene product that owns the target snap point

Param​

Mesh ID of the target snapping point

Param​

Optional product ID to add instead of the Redux-selected product

Param​

Whether to allow placement when the target snap is already occupied. Defaults to false

cancelOperations​

cancelOperations: CancelOperations

Function

Cancels any active modular operations like clone, move, or replace.

This function exits any currently active special interaction mode (clone, move, replace, etc.) and returns to the normal selection mode. It's useful as an "escape" or "cancel" action when the user wants to abort the current operation.

Example​

// Cancel the current operation when the cancel button or Escape key is pressed
document.getElementById('cancel-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.cancelOperations();
});

document.addEventListener('keydown', (e) => {
  if (e.key === 'Escape') {
    window.mimeeqApp.actions.cancelOperations();
  }
});

checkCanMove​

checkCanMove: CheckCanMove

Function

Checks if a specific product instance can be moved to another position.

This function determines whether a specific product in the scene can be moved to a different position. It evaluates factors like available connection points, product settings, and scene composition to determine if movement is possible.

This check is useful for dynamically enabling or disabling move functionality based on the selected product and current scene state.

Example​

// Enable or disable the move button based on whether the selected product can be moved
async function updateMoveButtonState() {
  const selectedElement = getSelectedElementId();
  const canMove = await window.mimeeqApp.actions.checkCanMove(selectedElement);

  document.getElementById('move-btn').disabled = !canMove;
}

Param​

ID of the product instance to check for move capability

chooseProductToAdd​

chooseProductToAdd: ChooseProductToAdd

Function

Selects a product to add to the modular scene.

This function prepares a product from the catalog for addition to the scene. If replace mode is active, it replaces the currently selected product with the new one; otherwise, it prepares the product for placement in the scene, showing all valid placement positions.

This is typically called when a user clicks on a product in the catalog or product browser, initiating the process of adding that product to the scene.

Example​

// Select a product to add when clicked in the product catalog
document.querySelectorAll('.product-item').forEach(item => {
  item.addEventListener('click', () => {
    const productData = getProductDataFromElement(item);
    window.mimeeqApp.actions.chooseProductToAdd(productData);
  });
});

Param​

Product data object containing product information

clearScene​

clearScene: ClearScene

Function

Completely clears the modular scene, removing all products and resetting to an empty state.

This function removes all products from the modular scene and resets all scene-related state, returning to a fresh starting point. If a starter configuration is defined for the modular product, that configuration will be loaded; otherwise, an empty scene is created.

Clear scene is useful for starting over completely, abandoning the current design to begin a new one from scratch.

Dispatches mimeeq-modular-clear-scene

    • after the scene is cleared. If a starter configuration is defined, it is loaded automatically.

Example​

// Add a "Clear All" button to your interface
document.getElementById('clear-scene-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.clearScene();
});

// Trusted callers can skip the confirmation modal.
window.mimeeqApp.actions.clearScene(true);

copyStyles​

copyStyles: CopyStyles

Function

Activates style copying mode for the currently selected product.

This function enters a special interaction mode where the currently selected product's style options (like finishes, colors, and material selections) are copied and prepared for application to other products. After activating copy mode, the user must select a target product and use the pasteStyles function to apply the copied styles.

Style copying is useful for maintaining visual consistency across multiple components in a modular design without manually reconfiguring each one.

Example​

// Start the style copy process when the copy styles button is clicked
document.getElementById('copy-styles-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.copyStyles();
});

deselectAllModels​

deselectAllModels: DeselectAllModels

Function

Deselects all models currently selected on the modular scene.

This function clears all current selections in the modular configurator, ensuring no product is highlighted or targeted for actions. This is useful when you want to start fresh with selections or view the entire scene without focus on any particular component.

Example​

// Clear all selections when the "Select None" button is clicked
document.getElementById('deselect-all-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.deselectAllModels();
});

enableClone​

enableClone: EnableClone

Function

Activates clone mode for the currently selected product.

This function enters a special interaction mode where the next click on the scene will create a copy of the currently selected product. The clone will inherit all configuration options from the original, allowing quick duplication of components.

Cloning is useful for creating symmetrical designs or placing multiple identical components without having to reconfigure each one.

Example​

// Enter clone mode when the clone button is clicked
document.getElementById('clone-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.enableClone();
});

enableMove​

enableMove: EnableMove

Function

Activates move mode for the currently selected product.

This function enters a special interaction mode where the user can relocate the currently selected product to a different valid position in the scene. When in move mode, all possible destinations will be highlighted, and the user can click on a destination to move the product there.

Moving products allows for refining layouts and adjusting spatial relationships between components in the modular design.

Example​

// Enter move mode when the move button is clicked
document.getElementById('move-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.enableMove();
});

enableReplace​

enableReplace: EnableReplace

Function

Activates replace mode for the currently selected product.

This function enters a special interaction mode where the currently selected product can be replaced with another compatible product while maintaining all connections. It displays a list of compatible replacement products that can fit in the same space and connect to the same adjacent products.

Replace mode is useful for exploring different options in a design without disrupting the overall layout or connections.

Dispatches mimeeq-modular-set-replace

    • when replace mode is activated.

Example​

// Enter replace mode when the replace button is clicked
document.getElementById('replace-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.enableReplace();
});

flipProduct​

flipProduct: FlipProduct

Function

Flips or rotates the currently selected product to change its orientation.

This function changes the orientation of the currently selected product, essentially flipping it to use a different connection point. Not all products support flipping, as this capability depends on product-specific settings and design.

Flipping is useful for creating mirrored configurations or changing the orientation of products to fit specific layout requirements.

Example​

// Flip the selected product when the flip button is clicked
document.getElementById('flip-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.flipProduct();
});

getBoundingBoxPosition2d​

getBoundingBoxPosition2d: GetBoundingBoxPosition2d

Function

Retrieves the screen position and dimensions of a specific element in the scene.

This action calculates the exact pixel coordinates and size of an element's bounding box on the screen. It's like measuring where and how large something appears in the current view, which is essential for positioning overlays, tooltips, or information panels precisely.

Business value:

  • Enables accurate placement of interactive UI elements relative to product parts
  • Supports hotspot features that highlight specific product components
  • Allows dynamic information displays that track with product features
  • Powers advanced configurator interfaces that respond to what's visible

Example​

// Position a tooltip next to a specific product component
window.mimeeqApp.actions.getBoundingBoxPosition2d('drawer-handle')
  .then(position => {
    if (position) {
      const tooltip = document.getElementById('feature-tooltip');
      tooltip.style.left = `${position.right + 10}px`;
      tooltip.style.top = `${position.top}px`;
      tooltip.style.display = 'block';
    }
  });

Param​

Unique identifier for the element to measure

getModularShareUrl​

getModularShareUrl: GetModularShareUrl

Function

Generates a shareable URL for the current modular scene configuration.

This function creates a URL that encapsulates the current state of the modular scene, allowing it to be shared with others or bookmarked for later access. The URL includes a shortcode that represents the complete scene configuration.

Shareable URLs enable collaboration by allowing designs to be easily shared with colleagues, clients, or other stakeholders via email, messaging, or other channels.

Example​

// Generate and copy a shareable URL to the clipboard
document.getElementById('share-btn').addEventListener('click', async () => {
  const shareUrl = await window.mimeeqApp.actions.getModularShareUrl();

  if (shareUrl) {
    navigator.clipboard.writeText(shareUrl)
      .then(() => alert('Share link copied to clipboard!'))
      .catch(err => console.error('Could not copy URL: ', err));
  } else {
    alert('Could not generate share link');
  }
});

Param​

If true, returns only the shortcode rather than the complete URL

hoverProductForAction​

hoverProductForAction: HoverProductForAction

Function

Highlights valid placement positions for a specific product action.

This function displays visual indicators for all valid positions where a specific product can be placed, based on the requested action type. For example, when adding a new product, it shows all valid connection points; when moving a product, it shows all possible destinations.

The visual highlighting helps users understand where products can be placed and how they can be connected to existing components in the scene.

Example​

// Show placement hints when hovering over a product in the catalog
document.querySelectorAll('.product-item').forEach(item => {
  item.addEventListener('mouseenter', () => {
    const productId = item.dataset.productId;
    window.mimeeqApp.actions.hoverProductForAction(
      productId,
      'hover'
    );
  });

  item.addEventListener('mouseleave', () => {
    window.mimeeqApp.actions.hoverProductForAction('', '');
  });
});

Param​

ID of the product to show placement options for

Param​

Type of action being performed (e.g., 'hover', 'move', 'clone')

loadModularScene​

loadModularScene: LoadModularScene

Function

Loads a saved modular scene state with complete product initialization.

This function provides comprehensive scene loading functionality, handling everything from product fetching to configuration validation. It serves as the programmatic equivalent of the modular scene loading UI, but with additional control over the loading process.

Key Features:​

  • Automatic Product Loading: Detects and loads any missing products from JSON files or API
  • Localization Support: Translates all product data based on current locale settings
  • Asset Management: Loads 3D models, textures, and 2D images for each product
  • Configuration Validation: Validates and auto-corrects invalid configuration codes
  • State Restoration: Fully restores selected options from configuration codes
  • Business Logic: Applies all constraints and rules during loading
  • History Tracking: Maintains selection history for undo/redo functionality
  • Loading State Management: Updates UI loading state through Redux dispatches

Loading Process:​

  1. Clears current scene and selections
  2. Loads scene data (from shortcode or config)
  3. Identifies required products
  4. Fetches missing products and assets
  5. Validates configuration codes
  6. Restores all selections
  7. Updates scene with proper positioning
  8. Applies camera settings (unless disabled)

Examples​

// Load a specific saved scene
try {
  await window.mimeeqApp.actions.loadModularState('F95SNI');
  console.log('Scene loaded successfully');
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Failed to load scene:', error);
}
// Load a scene from favorites without auto-zoom
await window.mimeeqApp.actions.loadModularState('F95SNI', false, true, true);
// Load from autosave with a configuration object
const autosaveConfig = await getAutosaveConfig(); // Your method to get config
await window.mimeeqApp.actions.loadModularState(null, true, false, false, autosaveConfig);
// Implement a custom scene selector with loading states
const sceneSelector = document.getElementById('scene-selector');
const loadButton = document.getElementById('load-btn');

loadButton.addEventListener('click', async () => {
  const selectedScene = sceneSelector.value;
  const loadingSpinner = document.getElementById('loading');

  try {
    loadingSpinner.style.display = 'block';
    loadButton.disabled = true;

    // Load without auto-zoom to preserve user's view
    await window.mimeeqApp.actions.loadModularState(selectedScene, false, true);

    // Update UI to show success
    showSuccessMessage('Scene loaded successfully!');
  } catch (error) {
    // Handle specific error cases
    if (error.message.includes('not found')) {
      alert('This scene no longer exists');
    } else {
      alert('Failed to load the scene. Please try again.');
    }
  } finally {
    loadingSpinner.style.display = 'none';
    loadButton.disabled = false;
  }
});

openFinishModal​

openFinishModal: OpenFinishModal

Function

Opens the finish modal showing all elements in the modular scene and available tabs.

This function displays a comprehensive summary view of the entire modular design, including all products, their configurations, and pricing information. It allows users to review their design, make final adjustments, and proceed to actions like saving, sharing, or adding to cart.

The finish modal is typically the final step in the design process before taking actions with the completed design.

Example​

// Open the finish modal when the summary button is clicked
document.getElementById('summary-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.openFinishModal();
});

openLoadSceneModal​

openLoadSceneModal: OpenLoadSceneModal

Function

Opens the "Load Scene" modal dialog to browse and load saved modular scenes.

This function displays a modal interface where users can browse their saved modular scenes and select one to load. It allows users to restore previously created designs or start from saved templates.

Example​

// Open the load scene dialog when the "Load" button is clicked
document.getElementById('load-scene-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.openLoadSceneModal();
});

pasteStyles​

pasteStyles: PasteStyles

Function

Applies previously copied styles to the currently selected product.

This function applies style options (like finishes, colors, and materials) that were previously copied using copyStyles() to the currently selected product. The target product must be compatible with the copied styles.

Style pasting allows for quick application of consistent visual attributes across multiple components in a modular design.

Example​

// Complete the copy-paste style workflow with buttons for each step
document.getElementById('copy-styles-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
  // First select the source product, then click this button
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.copyStyles();
  alert('Styles copied! Now select another product and click "Paste Styles"');
});

document.getElementById('paste-styles-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
  // Select the target product, then click this button
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.pasteStyles();
});

removeProducts​

removeProducts: RemoveProducts

Function

Removes specific product configurations by their element instance IDs. If no IDs are provided, removes the currently selected item(s) instead.

This function provides flexible removal by accepting an optional list of element instance IDs. When IDs are specified, only those products are removed from the scene. When no IDs are provided, it falls back to removing the currently selected product(s), behaving identically to removeSelected.

Products with the "disableDelete" property set to true cannot be removed, and auto-inserted products require special handling.

Param​

Optional array of element instance IDs to remove. If omitted or empty, removes currently selected items.

removeSelected​

removeSelected: RemoveSelected

Function

Removes the currently selected product(s) from the modular scene.

This function deletes the currently selected product(s) from the scene, along with any auto-inserted connectors that may be exclusively associated with them. Products with the "disableDelete" property set to true cannot be removed, and auto-inserted products require special handling.

Product removal allows for iterative refinement of designs by eliminating unwanted components as the design evolves.

Example​

// Remove the selected product when the delete button is clicked
document.getElementById('delete-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.removeSelected();
});

rotateModel​

rotateModel: RotateModel

Function

Rotates a freely movable product by a specified angle.

This function rotates the currently selected product by the specified angle (in degrees). It only works on products that have the "freeMove" property enabled, which allows them to be positioned freely in the scene rather than being constrained by connection points.

Rotation is useful for orienting decorative elements, standalone furniture, or accessories that don't connect directly to other modular components.

Example​

// Rotate the selected product 45 degrees clockwise
document.getElementById('rotate-right-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.rotateModel(45);
});

// Rotate the selected product 45 degrees counter-clockwise
document.getElementById('rotate-left-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.rotateModel(-45);
});

Param​

Rotation angle in degrees (default: 45)

selectElement​

selectElement: SelectElement

Function

Selects a specific product in the modular scene.

This function highlights and selects a particular product in the modular scene by its unique instance ID. The selected product becomes the target for subsequent operations like configuring options, moving, cloning, or removing.

Explicit selection is useful for programmatically targeting specific products for operations, especially in custom interfaces or guided workflows.

Example​

// Create a list of all products in the scene with select buttons
function renderProductList(products) {
  const container = document.getElementById('product-list');
  container.innerHTML = '';

  Object.entries(products).forEach(([instanceId, product]) => {
    const item = document.createElement('div');
    item.innerHTML = `
      <span>${product.name}</span>
      <button class="select-btn">Select</button>
    `;

    item.querySelector('.select-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
      window.mimeeqApp.actions.selectElement(instanceId);
    });

    container.appendChild(item);
  });
}

Param​

Unique instance ID of the product to select

toggleApplyOptionsForAll​

toggleApplyOptionsForAll: ToggleApplyOptionsForAll

Function

Toggles whether option changes apply to all products on the scene.

This function controls whether changing options on one product automatically applies compatible changes to all other products in the scene. This is useful for creating a unified visual theme across an entire design.

When enabled, changing an option like "Oak finish" on one product will apply Oak finish to all other products that have a compatible finish option, ensuring visual harmony across the entire design.

Example​

// Toggle global style synchronization
document.getElementById('sync-all-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.toggleApplyOptionsForAll();
});

toggleApplyOptionsForInstances​

toggleApplyOptionsForInstances: ToggleApplyOptionsForInstances

Function

Toggles whether option changes apply to all instances of a specific product on the scene.

This function controls whether changing options on one instance of a product automatically applies the same changes to all other instances of the same product in the scene. This is useful for maintaining consistency across repeated elements.

When enabled, all instances of the same product will update simultaneously when any one instance is modified, ensuring visual consistency.

Example​

// Toggle synchronized styling for all cabinet instances
document.getElementById('sync-cabinets-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.toggleApplyOptionsForInstances('cabinet-product-id');
});

Param​

ID of the product type to toggle synchronization for

toggleGrid​

toggleGrid: ToggleGrid

Function

Toggles the visibility of the measurement grid on the scene floor.

This function shows or hides the measurement grid on the floor of the modular scene. The grid provides visual references for scale and position, helping users accurately place and align products in the scene. It's particularly useful when precise spacing between products is important.

Dispatches mimeeq-modular-show-grid

Example​

// Toggle the grid when the grid button is clicked
document.getElementById('toggle-grid-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.toggleGrid();
});

toggleSlide​

toggleSlide: ToggleSlide

Function

Activates slide mode for the currently selected product.

This function toggles a special movement mode for products that support horizontal sliding. Not all products can slide, as this capability depends on product-specific settings and design. When activated on a compatible product, the user can drag the product horizontally to adjust its position within constraints.

Sliding is useful for fine-tuning the position of products like cabinet doors, sliding tabletops, or other components with movable parts.

Dispatches mimeeq-modular-set-slide

    • when slide mode is activated.

Example​

// Toggle slide mode when the slide button is clicked
document.getElementById('slide-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.toggleSlide();
});

OptionSelection​

filterOptions​

filterOptions: FilterOptions

Function

Filters options based on selected filter criteria.

This method applies specified filters to a list of product options, returning only the options that match the filter criteria. This is useful for implementing custom filtering interfaces or for dynamically showing/hiding options based on user selections.

Example​

// Get all options
const allOptions = getOptionsFromSomewhere();

// Filter options by selected filters
const selectedFilters = ['${parentId}|${filterId}' , '${parentId1}|${filterId1}' ];
const filteredOptions = window.mimeeqApp.actions.filterOptions(allOptions, selectedFilters);

// Display the filtered options in a custom UI
displayOptionsInUI(filteredOptions);

Param​

Array of options to filter

Param​

Array of filter IDs to apply

markOption​

markOption: MarkOption

Function

Selects a specific option for a product configuration.

This method allows you to programmatically select options for the product, as if the user had clicked on them in the UI. It can be used to apply preset configurations, implement custom option selection interfaces, or automate configuration tasks.

When an option is selected, the scene updates to reflect the new configuration, and relevant events are dispatched to update the UI and pricing.

Dispatches mimeeq-select-option with the selected option data, followed by mimeeq-app-url-change to sync the URL state.

markOptionModular​

markOptionModular: MarkOptionModular

Function

Selects options for a modular product component.

This method is similar to markOption, but specifically designed for modular products where multiple components might be selected. It allows you to change options for the currently selected component(s) or for specific instances by ID.

When a single product is selected, dispatches mimeeq-modular-select-option. When multiple products are selected, dispatches mimeeq-modular-select-option-multiple instead.

prepareFilterOptions​

prepareFilterOptions: PrepareFilterOptions

Function

Prepares filter options with counts for available choices.

This method processes a full filter list against available options and currently selected filters, returning a map of possible filters with counts of how many options would match each filter. This is useful for building dynamic filter interfaces that show users which filters have available options.

Example​

// Get the global filter list, all options, and currently selected filters
const globalFilters = getGlobalFilters();
const allOptions = getAllOptions();
const selectedFilters = getSelectedFilters();

// Get available filters with counts
const filterOptions = window.mimeeqApp.actions.prepareFilterOptions(
  globalFilters,
  allOptions,
  selectedFilters
);

// Build a filter UI showing counts
for (const [parentFilterId, filter] of Object.entries(filterOptions)) {
  console.log(`${filter.title}: ${filter.amount} options available`);
}

Param​

Complete list of all available filters

Param​

List of options to evaluate against filters

Param​

Currently selected filter IDs

toggleApplyOptionsForAll​

toggleApplyOptionsForAll: ToggleApplyOptionsForAll

Function

Toggles whether option changes apply to all products on the scene.

This function controls whether changing options on one product automatically applies compatible changes to all other products in the scene. This is useful for creating a unified visual theme across an entire design.

When enabled, changing an option like "Oak finish" on one product will apply Oak finish to all other products that have a compatible finish option, ensuring visual harmony across the entire design.

Example​

// Toggle global style synchronization
document.getElementById('sync-all-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.toggleApplyOptionsForAll();
});

toggleApplyOptionsForInstances​

toggleApplyOptionsForInstances: ToggleApplyOptionsForInstances

getBundlingDebugInfo​

getBundlingDebugInfo: GetBundleInfo

Pricing​

setDealer​

setDealer: SetDealer

Function

Changes the active dealer for pricing calculations.

This method updates which dealer (company) is associated with the current pricing session. Different dealers may have different pricing agreements, discount structures, or pricing tiers, so changing the dealer can affect the calculated prices.

When the dealer changes, the method also adjusts the available price types to those permitted for the selected dealer, ensuring pricing compliance.

This functionality is primarily used by sales representatives ordering on behalf of different dealer accounts.

Example​

// Set the active dealer when selected from a dropdown
document.getElementById('dealer-select').addEventListener('change', (e) => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.setDealer(e.target.value);
});

Param​

ID of the dealer company to use for pricing calculations

setPriceType​

setPriceType: SetPriceType

Function

Changes the active price type used for calculations.

This method switches between different pricing strategies, such as retail (RRP), wholesale, or cost pricing. The available price types depend on the user's permissions and the customer's pricing configuration.

Different price types allow sales representatives to show appropriate pricing to different customer segments, or to compare margins across pricing strategies.

Example​

// Switch to wholesale pricing for a dealer customer
let wholesalePriceType;
window.mimeeqApp.observers.pricing.priceOptions.subscribe((data) => {
  const option = data.newValue?.find(option => option.type === 'SALE');
  wholesalePriceType = option;
})?.unsubscribe();

if (wholesalePriceType) {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.setPriceType(wholesalePriceType);
}

Param​

The price type object to set as active

setQuantity​

setQuantity: SetQuantity

Function

Updates the quantity for price calculations.

This method adjusts the quantity value used for all price calculations in the configurator. It respects product-specific constraints such as minimum order quantities (MOQ) and incremental quantity steps. If the provided quantity doesn't meet these constraints, it's automatically adjusted to the nearest valid value.

Quantity changes trigger price recalculations that reflect volume-based pricing tiers, providing accurate pricing for different order volumes.

Example​

// Set a specific quantity, with automatic adjustment to respect MOQ and steps
window.mimeeqApp.actions.setQuantity(23);

// Connect a quantity input to the configurator
document.getElementById('qty-input').addEventListener('change', (e) => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.setQuantity(parseInt(e.target.value, 10));
});

Param​

The requested quantity value (will be adjusted if needed to comply with product minimum quantities and step increments)

Product Data​

getBomDebugInfo​

getBomDebugInfo: GetBomDebugInfo

Function

Retrieves Bill of Materials (BOM) information for the current configuration.

This method provides detailed BOM data for the configured product, including component parts, quantities, materials, and custom field values. This information is primarily used for manufacturing, inventory, and procurement purposes, but can also be valuable for detailed specification documentation.

The BOM reflects the specific configuration of the product, with components and quantities dynamically adjusted based on selected options.

Example​

// Get and display BOM information for the current configuration
window.mimeeqApp.actions.getBomDebugInfo().then(bomData => {
  if (bomData) {
    // Display the BOM in a table
    const bomTable = document.getElementById('bom-table');
    bomTable.innerHTML = '';

    bomData.bomItems.forEach(item => {
      const row = document.createElement('tr');
      row.innerHTML = `
        <td>${item.name || ''}</td>
        <td>${item.code || ''}</td>
        <td>${item.quantity}</td>
        <td>${item.unit}</td>
      `;
      bomTable.appendChild(row);

      // Add sub-items if present
      if (item.subItems && item.subItems.length) {
        renderSubItems(bomTable, item.subItems, 1);
      }
    });
  }
});

getPodFilesUrl​

getPodFilesUrl: GetPodFilesUrl

Function

Generates a download URL for POD (Print on Demand) files associated with a given product.

This function calls the storage service to prepare a ZIP archive of all user-added designs for the specified product and returns the URL to download it.

Example​

const url = await mimeeqApp.actions.getPodFilesUrl('ABC123');
window.open(url, '_blank');

Param​

The product short code

Product Visualization​

get2dViewImage​

get2dViewImage: Get2dViewImage

Function

Generates an image URL for a specific 2D view of the current configuration.

This method creates a URL to a rendered image of the product from a specific viewpoint. It can generate images for any available 2D view, with options for custom configuration codes, sizes, and background colors.

These dynamically generated images can be used in custom interfaces, documentation, or wherever a visual representation of the configured product is needed.
