Methods​

configureSteps__()​

configureSteps__(): ConfigureStep[]

Returns a list of steps that should be executed in the ad pipeline.

Returns​

prebidBidsBackHandler__()?​

optional prebidBidsBackHandler__(): PrebidBidsBackHandler[]

This method is called in the bidsBackHandler of prebid.

A module may provide those callbacks if it needs to alter the requests send to the ad server. The auctionEnd event cannot be used for this, as there's no guarantee the event handler will run before the requestAds step.

Note: Amazon TAM (A9) also has a callback that could be used for similar things. Unfortunately does the callback not provide the necessary information to implement any meaningful business logic. Especially the cpm parameter and bidder

The callback receives additional information coming from the ad pipeline run.

Note: These callbacks should not perform any initialization code or only be created once as this array will be accessed on every pbjs.requestBids() callback.

Use cases​

The generic-skin module provides prebid bids back handlers to block certain ad units from being requested.

Returns​

PrebidBidsBackHandler[]

See​
Inherited from​

IModule.prebidBidsBackHandler__

prepareRequestAdsSteps__()​

prepareRequestAdsSteps__(): PrepareRequestAdsStep[]

Returns a list of steps that should be executed in the ad pipeline.

Returns​

PrepareRequestAdsStep[]

Inherited from​

IModule.prepareRequestAdsSteps__

requestBidsSteps__()?​

optional requestBidsSteps__(): RequestBidsStep[]

Returns a list of steps that should be executed in the ad pipeline.

This step is optional, as should have been all steps to reduce implementation complexity of modules.

Note: prebid and amazon tam (a9) maybe implemented as modules in the future as they add those steps to the ad pipeline.

Returns​

RequestBidsStep[]

Inherited from​

IModule.requestBidsSteps__
