Disqus CDN Web Component

WHAT IS THIS?🤔

Used in conjunction with the Disqus Mobile Template deployed to Netlify.

The idea is to insert the web component <disqus-cdn></disqus-cdn> onto your page, pass in the Disqus Parameters through some pre-defined attributes (see below) to have Disqus render your thread!

HOW TO USE:

Load the script

<script src="js/disqus-cdn.js"></script>

in your HTML markup, insert the following tag:

<disqus-cdn url="https://example.com/supadupapost" title="HelloSupaPeeps" shortname="test" id="9876">
</disqus-cdn>

The Component's attributes correspond to the following Disqus config variables (refer to this documentation for more info):

"url" = "this.page.url"
"title" = "this.page.title"
"shortname" = "Your Disqus Shortname"
"id" = "this.page.identifier"

Bonus

I usually like to 'freeze' ('Object.freeze()') my components so I added the deepFreeze function from 30SecsOfCode.org .

If you wish to remove this, you can simply replace the following portion

// optional
const deepFreeze = obj => {
  Object.keys(obj).forEach(prop => {
    if (typeof obj[prop] === 'object') deepFreeze(obj[prop]);
  });
  return Object.freeze(obj);
};
const frozenComponent = deepFreeze(DisqusCommentsComponent);
customElements.define("disqus-cdn", frozenComponent);

with the following:

customElements.define("disqus-cdn", DisqusCommentsComponent);

(When using VanillaJS components, you would usually load the deepFreeze Function separately / globally (so it can be used with any of your components).

I don't usually include it within the component itself, I just added that in to showcase a neat trick with components!

NOTE:

"url" and "id" attributes should be unique and mirrored (1 url assigned to 1 id). If you use an id for a url, don't reuse the same id for another url and vice-versa, or else, it might create identifier conflicts.
