In this thrilling episode, we delve into the exhilarating world of Looker embedding. The team at Looker takes us on a wild ride, showcasing the adrenaline-pumping private embedding and the heart-stopping signed embedding methods. With private embedding, users must buckle up and log in to Looker separately, ensuring a secure and seamless experience within the host application. On the other hand, signed embedding offers a high-octane solution for users without Looker accounts, providing a unique URL for authentication that revs up user access permissions.
To ignite the flames of excitement, the team demonstrates a high-speed process for generating signed embed URLs. Picture this: your host application's frontend and backend working in perfect harmony to authenticate users and fetch those exclusive signed URLs from Looker's embed/ssl_url endpoint. Once the signed embed URL is in hand, users can race into the world of embedded Looker content within the application's iframe, creating a dynamic and interactive experience. And remember, each new embed session requires a fresh URL to keep the adrenaline pumping.
But the thrill doesn't stop there. The team reveals how the host application can communicate with the embedded content, adding a turbo boost to the interactive capabilities. By harnessing the power of events emitted by the iframe and using the window.postMessage() method, the host application can steer the direction of the embedded content, making it more engaging and responsive. And for those seeking the ultimate performance upgrade, the Embed SDK swoops in to streamline the embedding process, providing convenient JavaScript methods for managing the iframe and enhancing interaction with the embedded Looker content. So buckle up, gearheads, and get ready to embark on an exhilarating journey into the world of Looker embedding.
