Kiwix serve widget
====================

Introduction
------------

The kiwix-serve widget provides an easy to embed way to show the `kiwix-serve` homepage.

Usage
-----

To use the widget, simply add an iframe with its `src` attribute set to the `widget` endpoint.
Example HTML Page ::

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Widget Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<iframe src="http://192.168.18.8:8080/widget?disabledesc&disablefilter&disabledownload" width=1000 height=1000></iframe>
</body>
</html>

This creates an iframe with the kiwix-serve homepage contents.

Arguments are explained below.

-------------------

Currently, the following arguments are supported.

disabledesc (value = N/A)
Disables the description part of a tile.

disablefilter (value = N/A)

For me (Firefox 103.0) a blank tab is opened


disabledownload (value = N/A)
Disables the download button (if avaialable at all) on the tile.


Custom CSS and JS
-----------------

You can add your custom CSS rules and Javascript code to the widget.

To do that, use the following code as template::

<iframe id="receiver" src="http://192.168.18.8:8080/widget?disabledesc=&disablefilter=&disabledownload=" width="1000" height="1000">
<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>

<script>
window.onload = function() {
var receiver = document.getElementById('receiver').contentWindow;
function sendMessage() {
let msg = {
css: `
.book__header {
color:red;
}`,
js: `
function widgetTest() {
console.log("Testing widget");
}
widgetTest();
`
}
receiver.postMessage(msg, 'http://192.168.18.8:8080/widget');
}
sendMessage();
}
</script>


The CSS/JS fields are optional, you may send both or only one.
