@sailpoint/ui-plugin-sdk

Browser runtime library for SailPoint ISC UI plugins — COIP/iframe handshake and plugin integration.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 22
• pnpm 10 (corepack enable)

Setup

pnpm install

Usage

When the plugin is mounted inside ISC, the SDK resolves the App Shell origin from the iframe context:

import { createSDK } from '@sailpoint/ui-plugin-sdk';

const sdk = createSDK();
const context = await sdk.getContext();

The SDK reconciles the App Shell-provided parentOrigin query parameter with the browser ancestor origin when available, then falls back to the document referrer. It throws if no trusted origin can be resolved or if the query and browser ancestor origins disagree.

This resolution is defense-in-depth for consistent postMessage targeting and inbound origin validation. A plugin's frame-ancestors CSP remains the primary control that prevents untrusted pages from embedding it.

Pass targetOrigin explicitly for tests, mocks, or non-standard embeddings:

const sdk = createSDK({ targetOrigin: 'https://app-shell.example.com' });

Handling API Errors

Non-OK responses from api.get and api.post throw ApiError, which exposes the HTTP status, status text, request path, and response body. JSON bodies are parsed; non-JSON bodies remain strings, and empty or unreadable bodies are null.

import { ApiError, createSDK } from '@sailpoint/ui-plugin-sdk';

const sdk = createSDK();

try {
	await sdk.api.get('/v3/accounts/missing');
} catch (error) {
	if (error instanceof ApiError) {
		handleRequestFailure(error.status, error.body);
	} else {
		throw error;
	}
}

Treat body as untrusted API data and avoid logging it without reviewing it for sensitive content.

Testing Plugins Offline

The @sailpoint/ui-plugin-sdk/testing subpath provides a framework-agnostic mock App Shell for browser-like unit-test environments. Install the mock before calling an SDK method that starts the handshake, then restore it after the test.

context is optional — the default models a valid least-privileged user, so pass it only when the test depends on specific tenant or capability values.

import { createSDK } from '@sailpoint/ui-plugin-sdk';
import type { UserCapabilities } from '@sailpoint/ui-plugin-sdk';
import { mockSdkContext } from '@sailpoint/ui-plugin-sdk/testing';

/**
 * Capability flags are exhaustive: App Shell always sends every key, so a mock
 * context must too. Start from all-false and enable what the test needs.
 */
const capabilities: UserCapabilities = {
	isOrgAdmin: true,
	isHelpdesk: false,
	isDashboard: false,
	isCertAdmin: false,
	isReportAdmin: false,
	isSourceAdmin: false,
	isSourceSubadmin: false,
	isRoleAdmin: false,
	isRoleSubadmin: false,
	isCloudGovAdmin: false,
	isCloudGovUser: false,
	isSaasManagementAdmin: false,
	isSaasManagementReader: false
};

const appShell = mockSdkContext({
	context: {
		tenant: {
			id: 'tenant-1',
			scriptName: 'acme',
			org: 'acme',
			name: 'Acme',
			pod: 'useast1',
			region: 'us-east-1',
			apiUrl: { idn: 'https://acme.api.identitynow.com' },
			products: []
		},
		user: { id: 'user-1', displayName: 'Test User', email: 'test@example.com', capabilities },
		page: { route: 'https://acme.identitynow.com/plugins/example' },
		slot: { id: 'slot-1' },
		pluginConfiguration: { pluginId: 'plugin-1' }
	}
});
const sdk = createSDK({ targetOrigin: appShell.targetOrigin });

expect(await sdk.getContext()).toEqual(appShell.context);

const onViewportChange = jest.fn();
sdk.events.onViewportChange(onViewportChange);
appShell.emitViewportChange({ width: 1280, height: 720 });

expect(onViewportChange).toHaveBeenCalledWith({ width: 1280, height: 720 });
appShell.restore();

The mock also supports emitTokenUpdate(), responds to forced token refreshes, and exposes recorded outbound messages for protocol assertions. It has no dependency on Jest, Vitest, or another test framework.
