Environments

Moli supports two environments to help you manage different configurations for testing and production. Each environment has specific behaviors for ad requests and consent management.

Overview​

Environments allow you to:

  • Test ad tag configurations without firing real ad requests
  • Use test creatives for development and testing
  • Manage consent requirements appropriately for each environment
  • Ensure production traffic uses real ad units and proper consent

Available Environments​

Test​

  • Purpose: Development and testing without real ad requests
  • Features:
    • Shows test creatives without firing ad requests to ad servers
    • Consent management is deactivated
    • Ideal for development and testing scenarios
  • Use Case: Developer testing, QA testing, and feature development

Production​

  • Purpose: Live website traffic with real advertising
  • Features:
    • Fires real ad requests to ad servers
    • Full consent management enabled
    • Real ad units and monetization
  • Use Case: End users and real advertising

Environment Configuration​

Basic Environment Setup​

Set the environment in your configuration:

const moliConfig: Moli.MoliConfig = {
  environment: 'test', // 'test' or 'production'
  slots: [ /* ... */ ]
};

Environment-Specific Configuration​

Configure different settings for each environment:

const getEnvironmentConfig = () => {
  // Determine environment based on your own logic
  const environment = window.location.hostname.includes('test') || 
                           window.location.hostname.includes('localhost') ? 'test' : 'production'; 
  
  return {
    environment: environment,
    slots: [
        {
            domId: 'content_1',
            adUnitPath: '/1234/test_content_1',
            sizes: [[300, 250]],
            position: 'in-page',
            behaviour: { loaded: 'eager' }
        }
        ]
    };
};

const moliConfig = getEnvironmentConfig();

API Reference​

Environment Property​

The environment property in MoliConfig accepts:

  • 'test' - Test environment (no real ad requests, consent deactivated)
  • 'production' - Production environment (real ad requests, full consent)

Environment-Specific Behavior​

Each environment has different default behaviors:

  • Test: No ad requests fired, test creatives shown, consent deactivated
  • Production: Real ad requests, production ad units, full consent management
