react-wiki-preview

Introduction

Add wikipedia link preview to your own article's, blog post's, or in any general text content. Short link previews really do help users to gain context on the article they are reading or to define an unfamiliar term, object, event, or idea without navigating away from their original topic.

Installation

npm install react-wiki-preview --save

Basic Usage

import React from "react";
import Wrapper from "react-wiki-preview";

const App = () => {
  const keyword = [{ word: 'Greek', title: 'Ancient Greek' }, 
  { word: 'celestial', title: 'Astronomical object' },
  'constellation','pendulum']
  return(
    <Wrapper keyword={keyword}>
        Horologium (Latin hōrologium, from Greek ὡρολόγιον, lit. 'an instrument for
        telling the hour') is a constellation of six stars faintly visible in the
        southern celestial hemisphere. It was first described by the French
        astronomer Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille in 1756 and visualized by him as a
        clock with a pendulum and a second hand.
    </Wrapper>
  )
}

Note: We also need to include these css classes as well.

.trigger {
  position: absolute;
  opacity: 1;
  transition: 0.1s;
  
}
.trigger-hidden {
  opacity: 0;
  visibility: hidden;
}

API

Component

`<Wrapper/>`

The Wrapper component encloses the text content, the type of the children can only be string.

Props

`keyword`

Type: [ string , { word: string, title: string}]

Provide a array of string's for which a preview would be needed, If a word doesn't exist as a wiki article or the title of the article itself is different for those cases you can mention it like this { word: "your word"; title: "wiki article title" } instead of providing a string.

Example

[{ word: 'Greek', title: 'Ancient Greek' },'star','constellation','Sun']

`theme`

Type: string There are two options light and dark. Default is light.

`anchorStyle`

Type: CSSProperties You can also give custom style properties to the anchor tag's too.

Example

{
    color: "#000#",
    textDecoration: "none",
    background: "yellow"
}

`mouseEnterDelay`

type: float delay time to show when mouse enter. unit: seconds, default value is .5s.

Development

Local development is broken into two parts (ideally using two tabs).

First, run rollup to watch your src/ module and automatically recompile it into dist/ whenever you make changes.

npm start # runs rollup with watch flag

The second part will be running the example/ create-react-app that's linked to the local version of your module.

# (in another tab)
cd example
npm start # runs create-react-app dev server

Now, anytime you make a change to your library in src/ or to the example app's example/src, create-react-app will live-reload your local dev server so you can iterate on your component in real-time.

npm run test:watch # runs tests in watch mode
