   • standalone:

     • supported values:
       • (default) false - makes Smartlook try to establish a connection with the parent window and join the session. The session will be reused only when the parent window loads Smartlook and records it as the same project. See more in the iframe recordings section. if the communication is not established within 10 seconds, the recording starts as a standalone anyway, but these first 10 seconds may be missing.
       • true - enable when your application is loaded in an iframe and you do not want Smartlook to try to connect with the parent window. Enabling this might be useful especially when you develop a third-party integration (e.g. payment gateway) that is inserted as an iframe on multiple websites.

   			// other custom properties
   		})

   			currency: 'usd',
   			product: 'Product Description',
   			// other custom properties
   		})
   	}
   	handlePause = () => {
   		Smartlook.pause()
   	}
   	render() {
   		return (
   			<div>
   				<button onClick={this.handleIdentify}>Identify visitor</button>
   				<button onClick={this.handleTrack}>Track event</button>
   				<button onClick={this.handlePause}>Pause recording</button>
   			</div>
   		)
   	}
   	componentDidMount() {
