--- NEW an option for choosing a popup.html file has been added, it defaults to https://solidcommunity.net/common/popup.html
A ready-to-use connect/register widget for Solid webapp, as add-on library for node-solid-server.
-- registering to be done, but all parameters are fonctional --
Returns cookies
If 'connected to the Solid pod' and after 'checking/creating appRootUri for appRoot' (do not check/create appFileUri) returns localStorage cookies.
var uriRoot = localStorage.getItem(appRootUri); var uriFile = localStorage.getItem(appFileUri);
Usage
const auth = require('solid-auth-client')
const Widget = require("solid-file-widget")
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/solid-auth-client/dist-lib/solid-auth-client.bundle.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../build/widget.js"></script>
<script>
const auth = solid.auth
// ...
var uriRoot = localStorage.getItem(appRoot);
var uriFile = localStorage.getItem(appFile);
const widget = new Widget(solidFile, {
solidAppName : "appname",
appFolder : "/public/foldername"
});
widget.attach();
// ...

Available Functions
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 is minimized.
toggle()
- Switch between open and closed state.
