A ready-to-use connect/sync widget, as add-on library for remoteStorage.js.
import RemoteStorage from 'remotestoragejs';
import Widget from 'remotestorage-widget';
// ...
const remoteStorage = new RemoteStorage(/* options */);
remoteStorage.access.claim('bookmarks', 'rw');
const widget = new Widget(remoteStorage);
widget.attach();
// ...
The widget has some configuration options to customize the behavior:
Option | Description | Type | Default |
---|---|---|---|
leaveOpen |
Keep the widget open when user clicks outside of it | Boolean | false |
autoCloseAfter |
Timeout after which the widget closes automatically (in milliseconds). The widget only closes when a storage is connected. | Number | 1500 |
skipInitial |
Don't show the initial connect hint, but show sign-in screen directly instead | Boolean | false |
logging |
Enable logging for debugging purposes | Boolean | false |
modalBackdrop |
Show a dark, transparent backdrop when opening the widget for connecting an account. true shows backdrop everywhere, false turns it off everywhere. Default is to only show it on small screens. |
Boolean, String | "onlySmallScreens" |
solidProviders |
Enables the Solid option. You can either provide a list of auth URLs under the providers key with name and authURL keys or set allowAnyProvider to true in order to allow the user to type in any identity provider URL. Widget.SOLID_COMMUNITY and Widget.INRUPT are predefined for convenience. |
Object | undefined |
Example:
const widget = new Widget(remoteStorage, { autoCloseAfter: 2000 });
attach(elementID)
- Attach the widget to the DOM and display it. You can
use an optional element ID that the widget should be attached to.
Otherwise it will be attached to the body.
While the attach()
method is required for the widget to be actually
shown, the following functions are usually not needed. They allow for
fine-tuning the experience.
close()
- Close/minimize the widget to only show the icon.
open()
- Open the widget when it's minimized.
toggle()
- Switch between open and closed state.
