React Advertising Versions Save

This release supports the use of the Google Interstitial implementation

https://developers.google.com/publisher-tag/samples/display-web-interstitial-ad

• Use of Prebid.js is now optional, you can display ads using only GPT (issue #37, PR #44)
• Ads can now be lazy loaded, through global or individual slot configuration, even when using Prebid (issue #25, PR #47)

Previously, it was only possible to set ad unit paths for out of page slots per slot. You can now omit the ad unit path in the slot definition for out of page slots and the global ad unit path will be used. This is consistent with how it works with regular slots.

See PR #35

Bugfix for null pointer error that ocurred in some edge cases (issue #31 / PR #32)

added outOfPage creatives handling, to serve pop-up/pop-under/floating creatives

added new plugin hook "setup" that would be executed during Advertising setup

• See Pull request 14

When the AdvertisingProvider unmounted when it didn't have a config, a null pointer execption ocurred. This was fixed.

• See PR 13

You can now update the AdvertisingProvider by re-rendering it with a different configuration prop than before.

When the AdvertisingProvider receives a new config prop, it will automatically tear down GPT and Prebid and set them up again with the updated configuration, causing all the ad slots in the container to get refreshed with new ads according to the new config.

Thanks Jason Li for implementing this!

Breaking Change

In previous versions, if the config prop for the AdvertisingProvider changed, this was ignored, now it causes GPT and Prebid to be re-initialized and ad slots to be refreshed with the updated config.

While we believe this to be the desired effect, some users may depend on the old “ignorant” behavior, hence we decided to roll out this change as a major release.

You can now render the AdvertisingProvider without a config prop. This is useful when you load the ad config asynchronously and don't want to block initial page render.
