Showpad Interactions

This section covers two ways your HTML5 app can interact with the Showpad platform. The first is the Showpad JavaScript library, which is available when your app runs within Showpad and gives access to user context, Collections, and other runtime capabilities. The second is URL-based Share prefilling, which lets your app launch a pre-populated Showpad Share without requiring the JavaScript library.

Together, these capabilities let your HTML5 app behave as a first-class part of the Showpad experience rather than an isolated web page.
