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)
- User theming of widget
- Obfuscating of the widget code
What is an embeddable widget?
- Usable using a simple
<script>tag - Configurable with code
- Themable
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
- Widget as react app - index.html works (webpack, babel, react)
- React widget (widget builder)
- Webpack changed to output a library
- Add tests
- Add greenkeeper
- Integrate eslint with webpack
- Theming support
- Obfuscation
- Storyboard and docs
