ElfsightEmbedSDK.createWidget does not work without app alias

[yshyshkin]

Hi Elfsight team,

According to the documentation, app alias option of the ElfsightEmbedSDK.createWidget function is optional:

const appAlias = 'instashow'; // optional. alias for specified application, displays the popup if not specified
const callback = function(response) {
    // logic on
};

ElfsightEmbedSDK.createWidget(appAlias).then(callback);

However, if you try omiting that option like that ElfsightEmbedSDK.createWidget().then(function() {}), SDK will trigger an error:

embed-sdk.js:8 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '__H')
    at p (embed-sdk.js:8:20934)
    at b (embed-sdk.js:8:21507)
    at v (embed-sdk.js:8:21343)
    at Function.value (embed-sdk.js:23:14674)
    at embed-sdk.js:23:14959

    at Generator._invoke (embed-sdk.js:8:58660)
    at forEach.t.<computed> [as next] (embed-sdk.js:8:59295)

I have tried to pass null and '', but no luck.

Is there a way to open a popup with an application selection similar to one triggered by displayCreateButton via SDK?

Thank you,
Yevhen

Sorry for the late answer.

Couldn't reproduce issue with createWidget in dev build, but error might be with render the popup itself via preact in prod build.

You can also use the displayCatalog method

ElfsightEmbedSDK.displayCatalog(
  document.querySelector('#elfsight-catalog-container'),
  (widget) => console.log('created widget', widget)
)

It will work similar to createWidget without an argument, but instead of a popup you can embed its directory anywhere.
