Method Signature | Since | Description |
---|---|---|
void registerAddListener(JSFunction function) |
3.0 |
Registers a JavaScript function as an add listener for the applet’s construction. Whenever a new object is created in the GeoGebraApplet’s construction, the JavaScript function is called using the name of the newly created object as its single argument. Example: First, register a listening JavaScript function: ggbApplet.registerAddListener(myAddListenerFunction); When an object "A" is created, the GeoGebra Applet will call the Javascript function myAddListenerFunction("A"); |
void unregisterAddListener(JSFunction function) |
3.0 |
Removes a previously registered add listener, see registerAddListener() |
void registerRemoveListener(JSFunction function) |
3.0 |

Whenever an object is deleted from the GeoGebraApplet’s construction, the JavaScript function is called using the name of the deleted object as its single argument. Note: when a construction is cleared, remove is not called for every single object, see registerClearListener(). Example: First, register a listening JavaScript function: ggbApplet.registerRemoveListener(myRemoveListenerFunction); When the object "A" is deleted, the GeoGebra Applet will call the Javascript function myRemoveListenerFunction("A"); |
void unregisterRemoveListener(JSFunction function) |
3.0 |
Removes a previously registered remove listener, see registerRemoveListener() |
void registerUpdateListener(JSFunction function) |
3.0 |
Registers a JavaScript function as a update listener for the applet’s construction. Whenever any object is updated in the GeoGebraApplet’s construction, the JavaScript function is called using the name of the updated object as its single argument. Note: when you only want to listen for the updates of a single object use registerObjectUpdateListener() instead. Example: First, register a listening JavaScript function: ggbApplet.registerUpdateListener(myUpdateListenerFunction); When the object "A" is updated, the GeoGebra Applet will call the Javascript function myUpdateListenerFunction("A"); |

Removes a previously registered update listener, see registerUpdateListener() |
void registerClickListener(JSFunction function) |
5.0 |

3.0 |
Removes a previously registered click listener, see registerClickListener() |
void registerObjectUpdateListener(String objName, JSFunction function) |

If objName previously had a mapping JavaScript function, the old value is replaced. Note: all object updated listeners are unregistered when their object is removed or the construction is cleared, see registerRemoveListener() and registerClearListener(). Example: First, register a listening JavaScript function: ggbApplet.registerObjectUpdateListener("A", myAupdateListenerFunction); Whenever the object A is updated, the GeoGebra Applet will call the Javascript function myAupdateListenerFunction(); Note: an object update listener will still work after an object is renamed. |
void unregisterObjectUpdateListener(String objName) |
3.0 |
Removes a previously registered object update listener of the object with the given name, see registerObjectUpdateListener() |
void registerObjectClickListener(String objName, JSFunction function) |

Registers a JavaScript function as a click listener for a single object. Whenever the object with the given name is clicked, the JavaScript function is called using the name of the updated object as its single argument. If objName previously had a mapping JavaScript function, the old value is replaced. Note: all object click listeners are unregistered when their object is removed or the construction is cleared, see registerRemoveListener() and registerClearListener(). Example: First, register a listening JavaScript function: ggbApplet.registerObjectClickListener("A", myAclickListenerFunction); Whenever the object A is clicked, the GeoGebra Applet will call the Javascript function myAclickListenerFunction(); Note: an object click listener will still work after an object is renamed. |

5.0 |
Removes a previously registered object click listener of the object with the given name, see registerObjectClickListener() |
void registerRenameListener(JSFunction function) |
3.0 |
Registers a JavaScript function as a rename listener for the applet’s construction. Whenever an object is renamed in the GeoGebraApplet’s construction, the JavaScript function is called using the old name and the new name of the renamed object as its two arguments. Example: First, register a listening JavaScript function: ggbApplet.registerRenameListener(myRenameListenerFunction); When an object "A" is renamed to "B", the GeoGebra Applet will call the Javascript function myRenameListenerFunction("A", "B"); |
void unregisterRenameListener(String objName) |
3.0 |
Removes a previously registered rename listener, see registerRenameListener() |
void registerClearListener(JSFunction function) |
3.0 |
Registers a JavaScript function as a clear listener for the applet’s construction. Whenever the construction in the GeoGebraApplet is cleared (i.e. all objects are removed), the JavaScript function is called using no arguments. Note: all update listeners are unregistered when a construction is cleared. See registerUpdateListener() and registerRemoveListener(). Example: First, register a listening JavaScript function: ggbApplet.registerClearListener(myClearListenerFunction); When the construction is cleared (i.e. after reseting a construction or opening a new construction file), the GeoGebra Applet will call the Javascript function myClearListenerFunction(); |

String getBase64(function callback) |
4.2 |
Gets the current construction as a base64-encoded .ggb file asynchronously, passes as parameter to the callback function when ready. The callback function should take one parameter (the base64 string). |
void setBase64(String [, function callback] ) |
4.0 |
Sets the current construction from a base64-encoded .ggb file. If callback function is specified, it is called after the file is loaded. |

Obtaining the API Object
If you are loading GeoGebra using the deployggb.js
script, you can access the api either as an argument of
appletOnLoad
or via the getAppletObject
method:
const ggb = new GGBApplet({ appletOnLoad(api1) { // api1 provides the applet API } }); ggb.inject(document.body); const api2 = ggb.getAppletObject(); // api2 is also the API object
For compatibility reasons the API objects can be also accessed via global variables. The name of the global variable is
ggbApplet
by default and can be overridden by the id
parameter passed to new GGBApplet(...)
. In case
you have multiple GeoGebra apps on a page, ggbApplet
always contains API of the last active one. In such case you
should either avoid using global variables or use set the id
parameter explicitly for all apps.
Obtaining the API Object as a module: The ES6 way
You can use math-apps module now to inject the applet the ES6 way too
<script type="module"> import {mathApps} from 'https://www.geogebra.org/apps/web3d/web3d.nocache.mjs'; mathApps.create({'width':'800', 'height':'600', 'showAlgebraInput': 'true', 'material_id':'MJWHp9en'}) .inject(document.querySelector("#applet1")); </script> <div id="applet1"></div>
Example of using the API:
mathApps.create({'appName':'graphing'}) .inject(document.querySelector("#plot")) .getAPI().then(api => api.evalCommand('f(x)=sin(x)'));
