Bento Facebook
Usage
The Bento Facebook component allows you to embed a Facebook post, a Facebook video, or a comment on a Facebook post. It can be used as a web component <bento-facebook>
, or as a Preact/React functional component <BentoFacebook>
.
Web Component
You must include each Bento component's required CSS library before adding custom styles in order to guarantee proper loading. Or use the lightweight pre-uprgrade styles available inline. See Layout and Style.

Layout and Style
Each Bento component has a small CSS library you must include to guarantee proper loading without content shifts. Because of order-based specificity, you must manually ensure that stylesheets are included before any custom styles.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-facebook-1.0.css">
Alternatively, you may also make the light-weight pre-upgrade styles available inline:
<style data-bento-boilerplate>
bento-facebook {
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
</style>
Attributes
data-href

look like https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10102593740125791
