A zero-configuration button for adding applause / claps / kudos to web pages and blog-posts.
NOTICE: The free and hosted version of this service is no longer operational. If you want to use the applause button on your website you are encouraged to host the back-end yourself using the code from the following repo: https://github.com/ColinEberhardt/applause-button-server. Alternatively, you can use the service hosted by a community member at https://applause.chabouis.fr.
The applause button is a custom element that can be added directly to the page. Here is a minimal example:
<head>
<!-- add the button style & script -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/applause-button.css" />
<script src="dist/applause-button.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- add the button! -->
<applause-button style="width: 4rem" api="https://applause.chabouis.fr" />
</body>
The above will render an applause button, persisting claps and clap counts.

Clone this repo then install dependencies via yarn:
yarn
Use yarn test to run the test suite. These use Jest as the test runner, and Puppeteer as a headless Chrome instance,
allowing the applause button to make API requests (with appropriate responses faked within the test code).
You can build the code and start watching the src folder for changes as follows:
yarn watch
Then run the following command in another terminal, to serve a test page containing an applause-button:
yarn test:serve
Navigate to http://localhost:8081 to view the test page; remember to refresh the page after code changes.
