This is a reference project that demonstrate how to build web UI widget that can be embedded into 3rd party website.
This structure provides those advantages:
- Small footprint and solid snippet on hosting website (see Usage)
- Multi-instance on the same page
- Isolation of code execution and CSS
- Customization via configuration injection and API to Widget
- Minimal dependencies and small size via single request (>30KB gzipped)
and a few more.
In order to embed the widget add the following snippet at any location on the hosting page:
<script>
(function (w, d, s, o, f, js, fjs) {
w[o] = w[o] || function () { (w[o].q = w[o].q || []).push(arguments) };
js = d.createElement(s), fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
js.id = o; js.src = f; js.async = 1; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(window, document, 'script', 'sahnas', 'https://www.comexposium.com/sahnas.min.js'));
sahnas('init');
</script>
During initialization you can pass additional configurations to widget like so:
sahnas('init', { minimized: false, disableDarkMode: false, styles: { classNameContainer: "sahnas" } });
You can find a full list of configurations in AppConfigurations
interface:
{
debug: boolean;
serviceBaseUrl: string;
minimized: boolean;
disableDarkMode: boolean;
text: {
minimizedTitle?: string;
formTitle?: string;
formSubTitle?: string;
thankYouTitle?: string;
thankYouBody?: string;
faqTitle?: string;
};
styles: {
classNameContainer?: string;
};
}
The widget dev setup is similar to regular client application. To get started:
npm i
npm start
npm run go
This will open browser with a demo page which hosts the widget.
The npm run go
command is the same command as npm start
but it will run the dev server on port 9000.
