Advanced settings

Identify user

Module uses userId property to identify user - by default userId is random number, but it can be specified through setUserId method

name	type	description
userId	number	user identifier

example:

  Reactions.setUserId(1);

Identify module

By default module takes page URL as module identifier, but it also can be specified manually by passing id to reactions constructor

use it for:

• lists (different modules on one page)
• binding module to a specific content item, regardless of URL

in this case instance should be created this way

new Reactions({parent: '', title: '', reactions: [], id: ''});

where

name	type	description
id	string or number	module identifier
