## About
Frameport helps you embed live, responsive component previews in your documentation or style guide. It works by generating iframes with your HTML/CSS/JS that respect real media queries—so your components behave just like they do in actual devices.
✅ Zero dependencies
✅ Framework agnostic
✅ Real device viewport emulation
✅ Instant iframe-based previews
## Installation & Setup
```shell-session
npm i -S @phun-ky/frameport
```
or with yarn:
```shell-session
yarn add @phun-ky/frameport
```

## Options
| Option | Type | Required | Description |
| ---------------- | ---------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| | | | |
| html | string | ✓ | The html you want to use in the viewport example |
| height | string \| number | | The height of the viewport, either as a string (e.g., '400') or a number (e.g., 400) |
| width | string \| number | | The width of the viewport, either as a string (e.g., '600') or a number (e.g., 600) |
| className | string | | Class names to be given the generated iframe |
| style | string | | Inline styles (CSS) to be inserted into a `` -tag in the `<head>`-tag of the generated html |
| css | string | | A CSS file to be appended to the `<head>`-tag of the generated html. **NOTE! This needs to be on the same domain and relative to root!** |
| code | string | | Custom JavaScript code to be inserted into a `<script>`-tag in the `<body>`-tag in the generated html |
| javascript | string | | A JavaScript file to be inserted in the `<body>`-tag of the generated html. **NOTE! This needs to be on the same domain and relative to root!** |
| headers | string[] | | An array of HTTP headers to include when fetching the HTML content |
| viewports | string | | The viewports to generate for examples. This is a string `wxh` for example: `375x667`. If you want more viewports, you can separate them with a comma: `375x667,360x740,768x1024`. **NOTE!** If not `viewports` are used, you need to set `width`! |
| templateSelector | string | | Selector to the template |
| templateElement | HTMLElement | | Template element |
| target | string | | To identify this as a target to use to generate the frameports |
## Usage
### Basic usage
#### Typescript
Types can be found in `@phun-ky/frameport/dist/frameport.d.ts`.
#### ESM
Either import and run the required functions:
```javascript
import frameport from '@phun-ky/frameport';
// do stuff
frameport(document.getElementById('target'), {
width: 667,
html: '<h1>FOO</h1>'
});
```
#### Script
Or place these `script` in your web page:
```html
<script src="../path/to/frameport.js"></script>
```
And then follow the steps below that suites your needs :)
### Advanced usage
If you want to control frameport a bit more, you have some options. Apply one of these attributes to the script element for different types of initialization:
```html
<script src="../frameport.js" data-<manual|instant|dom|lazy></script>
```
| Tag | Description |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `data-manual` | Makes `window.frameport()` available to be used when you feel like it |
| `data-instant` | fires off `frameport()` right away |
| `data-dom` | Waits for `DOMContentLoaded` |
| `data-lazy` | Lazy loads `frameport()` per specced element |
If no attribute is applied, it will default to `data-dom`, as in, it will initialize when `DOMContentLoaded` is fired.
#### Lazy
If you're importing frameport instead of with a script tag, you can use the following approach to apply lazy loading:
```javascript
import frameport from '@phun-ky/frameport';
export const lazy = (): void => {
const frameportObserverTarget = new IntersectionObserver((els, observer) => {
els.forEach((el: IntersectionObserverEntry) => {
if (el.intersectionRatio > 0) {
const {
dataset: {
frameportTemplate: templateSelector,
frameportVh: height,
frameportVw: width,
frameportCss: css,
frameportStyle: style,
frameportCode: code,
frameportJs: javascript,
frameportClass: className,
frameportHeaders: headers,
frameportViewports: viewports,
},
} = el.target as HTMLElement;
let html = el.target.innerHTML;
let templateElementToUse = el.target as HTMLElement;
if (templateSelector) {
const templateElement = document.querySelector(templateSelector);
if (templateElement) {
html = templateElement.innerHTML;
templateElementToUse = templateElement as HTMLElement;
}
}
const options = {
templateSelector,
templateElement: templateElementToUse,
height,
width,
html,
css,
style,
code,
javascript,
className,
headers: getHeaders(headers),
viewports,
};
dom(el.target as HTMLElement, options);
observer.unobserve(el.target);
}
});
});
document.querySelectorAll('[data-frameport]').forEach((el) => {
frameportObserverTarget.observe(el);
});
};
```
## Features
### Via DOM
Place the `script` tag at the bottom of your page, right before the `</body>`-tag:
```html
<script src="../path/to/@phun-ky/frameport/dist/frameport.js"></script>
```
Or with a CDN:
```html
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@phun-ky/frameport/dist/frameport.js"></script>
```
And then follow the steps below to display the frameports you want :)
### Use templates as a target
With this approach, the script will locate given template and produce frameports based on that template and insert them right after the template. The original template will be hidden:
```html
<div
data-frameport
data-frameport-css="/css/ph.css"
data-frameport-style="body{background-color: #84a295 !important;}"
data-frameport-target
data-frameport-template="#template"
data-frameport-vw="667"
data-frameport-vh="375"
></div>
<div id="template">
<main class="ph" style="height: 100vh">
<button class="ph button" type="button">Primary</button>
</main>
</div>
```
The content of the `[data-frameport]`-container is the html you want to display in the frameport.
### Use targets with different template
With this approach, you decide where the frameports are added. The script will locate given target and produce frameports based on the given template and insert them in that target. The original template will be hidden:
```html
<div
data-frameport
data-frameport-css="/css/ph.css"
data-frameport-style="body{background-color: #84a295 !important;}"
data-frameport-viewports="375x667,360x740,768x1024"
>
<main class="ph" style="height: 100vh">
<div class="ph app">
<p class="ph lead">Look mah, I'm in an iframe</p>
<button class="ph button" type="button">Primary</button>
</div>
</main>
</div>
```
The above example code will generate 3 iframes with given viewports.
The content of the `#template`-container is the html you want to display in the frameport.
This approach is useful if you want to use a device decorator to mimic appearance of a device.
