@markprompt/web

Markprompt Web

A prebuilt version of the Markprompt dialog, based on @markprompt/react, built with Preact for bundle-size savings. Viable for use from vanilla JavaScript or any framework.

Installation

Install the package from NPM:

npm add @markprompt/web @markprompt/css

Usage

Include the CSS on your page, via a link tag or by importing it in your JavaScript:

<!-- load from a CDN: -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://esm.sh/@markprompt/css@0.22.0?css" />

import '@markprompt/css';

Call the markprompt function with your project key:

import { markprompt } from '@markprompt/web';

const markpromptEl = document.querySelector('#markprompt');

markprompt('YOUR-PROJECT-KEY', markpromptEl, {
  references: {
    getHref: (reference) => reference.file.path.replace(/\.[^.]+$/, '');
    getLabel: (reference) => {
      return reference.meta?.leadHeading?.value || reference.file?.title;
    }
  },
});

where YOUR-PROJECT-KEY can be obtained in your project settings on Markprompt.com.

Options are optional and allow you to configure the texts and links used in the component to some extent. You will most likely want to pass references.getHref and reference.getLabel to transform your prompt references into links to your corresponding documentation, and search.getHref to transform search result paths into links to your documentation.

Styles are easily overridable for customization via targeting classes. Additionally, see the styling section in our documentation for a full list of variables.

Usage via <script> tag

Besides initializing the Markprompt component yourselves from JavaScript, you can load the script from a CDN. You can attach the options for the Markprompt component to the window prior to loading our script:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://esm.sh/@markprompt/css@0.22.0?css" />
<script>
  window.markprompt = {
    projectKey: `YOUR-PROJECT-KEY`,
    container: `#markprompt`,
    options: {
      references: {
        getHref: (reference) => reference.file?.path?.replace(/\.[^.]+$/, ''),
        getLabel: (reference) => {
          return reference.meta?.leadHeading?.value || reference.file?.title;
        },
      },
    },
  };
</script>
<script type="module" src="https://esm.sh/@markprompt/web@0.26.0/init"></script>

<div id="markprompt"></div>

API

markprompt(projectKey, container, options?)

Render a Markprompt dialog button.

Arguments

• projectKey (string): Your Markprompt project key.
• container (HTMLElement | string): The element or selector to render Markprompt into.
• options (object): Options for customizing Markprompt, see above.

When rendering the Markprompt component, it will render a search input-like button by default. You have two other options:

• set trigger.floating = true to render a floating button
• set trigger.customElement = true, then import { openMarkprompt } from '@markprompt/react' and call openMarkprompt() from your code. This gives you the flexibility to render your own trigger element and attach whatever event handlers you would like and/or open the Markprompt dialog programmatically.

markpromptOpen()

Open the Markprompt dialog programmatically.

markpromptClose()

Close the Markprompt dialog programmatically.

markpromptChat(projectKey, container, options?)

Render the Markprompt chat view standalone, outside of a dialog.

• projectKey (string): Your Markprompt project key.
• container (HTMLElement | string): The element or selector to render Markprompt into.
• options (object): Options for customizing Markprompt, see above.
• options.chatOptions (MarkpromptOptions.chat): Enable and configure chat functionality. Allows users to have a conversation with an assistant. Enabling chat functionality will disable prompt functionality. See above for options.
• options.debug (boolean): Display debug info
• options.feedbackOptions (MarkpromptOptions.feedback): Enable feedback functionality, shows a thumbs up/down button after a prompt was submitted. See above for options.
• options.referencesOptions (MarkpromptOptions.references): Enable and configure references functionality. See above for options.
