Systems and methods for communication across multiple browser pages for an application

A method of providing communication across multiple browser pages in a browser-based application, the method comprising:

• providing a first browser-based application running on a first user device using a plurality of application pages of the first browser-based application for accessing and displaying web content on the first user device;
• defining a user interface event for the first browser-based application associated with activity of a first widget on a first application page of the plurality of application pages;
• providing communication configuration settings for the first browser-based application, the communication configuration settings including:
• configuration settings for the first application page to publish the user interface event when triggered by user activity with the first widget on the first application page;
• configuration settings operative to configure a set of additional application pages of the plurality of application pages to subscribe to the user interface event published by the first application page;
• configuration settings for the set of additional application pages specifying one or more actions for each of the set of additional application pages to take in response to the user interface event;
• receiving a trigger originating from a user interface of the first application page resulting from a user's activity with the first widget;
• responsive to receiving the trigger, generating a first user interface event configured to be publishable across multiple application pages of the first browser-based application;
• publishing the first user interface event to a browser local storage;
• periodically polling, by each of the set of additional application pages, the browser local storage for the user interface event;
• and
• responsive to the first user interface event being published to the browser local storage, updating, without user intervention, data on the each of the set of additional application pages of the first browser-based application with information relating to the first user interface event.

A computer program product for providing communication across multiple browser pages in a browser-based application, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions translatable by a processor to perform:

• providing a first browser-based application running on a first user device using a plurality of application pages of the first browser-based application for accessing and displaying web content on the first user device;
• defining a user interface event for the first browser-based application associated with activity of a first widget on the first application page of the plurality of application pages;
• providing communication configuration settings for the first browser-based application, the communication configuration settings including:
• configuration settings for the first application page to publish the user interface event when triggered by user activity with the first widget on the first application page;
• configuration settings operative to configure a set of additional application pages of the plurality of application pages to subscribe to the user interface event published by the first application page;
• configuration settings for the set of additional application pages specifying one or more actions for each of the set of additional application pages to take in response to the user interface event;
• receiving a trigger originating from a user interface of the first application page resulting from a user's activity with the first widget;
• responsive to receiving the trigger, generating a first user interface event configured to be publishable across multiple application pages of the first browser-based application;
• publishing the first user interface event to a browser local storage;
• periodically polling, by each of the set of additional application pages, the browser local storage for the user interface event;
• and
• responsive to the first user interface event being published to the browser local storage, updating, without user intervention, data on the each of the set of additional application pages of the first browser-based application with information relating to the first user interface event.
