Lesson 5. Working with VK Bridge

The main thing in the lesson

•

VK Bridge is a bridge between a mini application that runs in an iframe or WebView and a VKontakte platform on the user’s device.
•

If you create a project based on шаблона create-vk-mini-app , VK Bridge is already included in your project. If not, you can connect it with the following commands:

yarn
yarn add @vkontakte/vk-bridge

npm
npm install @vkontakte/vk-bridge
•

Within 30 seconds of running the mini-app, you need to send an initialization message:

TypeScript
bridge.send('VKWebAppInit');
•

After initialization, you can call other VK Bridge events. One of them — VKWebAppGetLaunchParams . With it, you get the values of the application startup parameters.
•
