clearPageTargetingForKey
Global Function
Removes page targeting for a specified key from GPT ad calls
Links
setPageCollapseEmpty
Global Function
Sets behaviour of empty slots can be 'after', 'before' or 'never'
- 'after' collapse slots that return an empty ad
- 'before' collapses all slots and only displays them when an ad is found
- 'never' does not collapse any empty slot, the collapseEmptyDivs method is not called in that case
Links
enableCompanions
Global Function
When companions are enabled we delay the rendering of ad slots until
either a master is returned or all slots are returned without a master
Links
updateCorrelator
Global Function
The correlator is a random number added to ad calls.
It is used by the ad server to determine which impressions where served to the same page
Updating is used to tell the ad server to treat subsequent ad calls as being on a new page
Links
Moat
Global Function
we use a third party script from moat to determine invalid traffic.
In ft.com this lives in n-ui.
The script exposes window.moatPrebidApi object which we check for here.
The script essentially ads some extra targeting parameters to the ad calls,
and if the validateAdsTraffic option is enabled, we need to wait for it to
be available before making any ad calls.

module:utils
Utility methods for the advertising library.
Methods
-
isWindow(obj)
- (static) Test if an object is the global window object
-
isPlainObject(obj)
- (static) Test if an object inherits from any other objects, used in extend
to protect against deep copies running out of memory and constructors
losing there prototypes when cloned
-
isNonEmptyString(str)
- (static) Test if an object is a string with a length
-
extend(...)
- (static) Merge or clone objects
-
hash(...)
- (static) Create an object hash from a delimited string
Beware all properties on the resulting object will have string values.
-
attach(...)
- (static) Takes a script URL as a string value, creates a new script element, sets the src and attaches to the page
The async value of the script can be set by the seccond parameter, which is a boolean
Note, we should use protocol-relative URL paths to ensure we don't run into http/https issues
-
dehyphenise(string)
- (static) Remove hyphens from a string and upper case the following letter
-
parseAttributeName(attribute)
- (static) remove prefixes from o-ads data attributes and dehyphenise the name
-
getQueryString
- (static) return the current documents search or an empty string if non exists
also strips the initial ? from the search string for easier parsing
This method enables us to mock the search string in our tests reliably and doesn't really serve any other purpose
-
getQueryParamByName(name, url)
- (static) Get a query string parameter by name from a url
-
getTimestamp
- (static) returns a timestamp of the current date/time in the format YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
-
iframeToSlotName(a)
- (static) Given the window object of an iframe this method returns the o-ads slot name
that rendered the iframe, if the iframe was not rendered by o-ads this will
return false

FT.ads.config
Static Method
The FT.ads.config object holds the confiuration properties for an FT.ads.gpt instance.
There are four tiers of configuration; cookie level config, default config (set within the constructor), metatag config and global (env) config.
Global config, (set in the page FT.env ojbect) takes priority over meta followed by default config with cookie config having the least priority.
The FT.ads.config() function acts as an accessor method for the config; allowing getting and setting of configuration values.
Calling config() with no parameters returns the entire configuration object.
Calling config passing a valid property key will envoke the 'getter' and return the value for that property key.
Calling config passing a valid property key and a value will envoke the setter and set the value of the key to the new value.
Calling config passing an object of keys and values will envoke a setter that extends the store with the object provided.
