Hydration event in custom code in Funnels

A new custom event hydrationDone has been introduced in the preview. This event will be dispatched when the funnel/website preview has completed its hydration so a user can run specific custom code post hydration.

Why this is needed?
Previously, users might have faced issues where their custom scripts would execute before our preview hydration had completed. This timing mismatch could lead to incorrect execution flow and hinder the intended functionality of their custom code. 

How did we solve this?
  1. By dispatching the 'hydrationDone' event after complete hydration of the preview is completed, we've effectively eliminated this source of contention.
  2. Users can add an event listener on the hydrationDone event and execute their following code. This is especially useful if they are trying to manipulate DOM content.
How to use?
document.addEventListener( "hydrationDone", () => { // Add custom javascript here })
Note: Optimise javascript may need to be disabled if user's custom code is critical on page load, as it delays the hydration event if there is no user interaction.


This is how your custom Javascript/ HTML should look like:
