# API for the web

## Using the Grammalecte API for the web

**With Grammalecte 1.8+.** (beta stage)

If Grammalecte is installed by the user on his browser (like Firefox or Chrome), you can call
several functions for a better integration of grammar checking for your website. This is mostly usefull
if you use non-standard textareas.

You can:

- disable the Grammalecte button (spinning pearl),

- launch the Grammalecte panel with custom button (or when you think it’s necessary),

- get the modified text via events (instead of having the node content directly modified),

- get raw results (list of errors) of grammar checking and spell checking,

- get spelling suggestions for a wrong word.


### Version of the Grammalecte Web API

    oGrammalecteAPI.sVersion


### How it works

Usually, webpage scripts can’t call methods or functions of browser extensions.

The Grammalecte API is injected within your webpage, with methods launching events that Grammalecte is listening. When Grammalecte receives one of these events, it launches the requested tasks. Results may be sent via events on webpage nodes.

    node.addEventListener("GrammalecteResult", function (event) {
        if (event.detail.sType  &&  event.detail.sType == "spellsugg") {
            let oResult = event.detail.oResult;
            let oInfo = event.detail.oInfo; // object containing the destination and the error_identifier
            ...
        }
    }
