# Embeddable React Widget

Easy creation of an embeddable widget.

## Goal

The create-react-app of embeddable widgets.

## Features

* Full ES6/ES2015 support (with Babel)
* Package fonts, css, json, javascripts together into one simple repository (with Webpack)
* No css tyling conflicts between the host page and the widget (with https://github.com/premasagar/cleanslate)
* Obfuscating of the widget code

## What is an emeddable widget?

* Usable using a simple `<script>` tag
* Configurable with code


## Why not in an iframe?

* Interaction between the frame and the hosting page is tricky and not recommended
* You can only display content within the iframe
* iframe and content resizing is impossible
* iframe sandboxing can result in missing functionalities


## Roadmap

- [ ] index.html works (webpack, babel, react)
- [ ] webpack changed to output a library
- [ ] react widget
