as express middleware

app.get("/iframe", (req, res) => {
  res.createIframe({
    url: req.query.url,
    baseHref: req.query.baseHref, // optional: determine how to control link redirects,
    config: { cors: { script: true } }, // optional: determine element cors or inlining #shape src/iframe.ts#L34
  });

On the client use directly in your iframe if your api is on the same server set the url below like this or if your using a framework like gatsby, nextjs, etc or non-express apps

<iframe src="/iframe/?url=https://www.etsy.com" />

You can even fetch the iframe directly by importing fetchFrame on the client or server.

import { fetchFrame } from "node-iframe";

async function fetchIframe() {
  return await fetchFrame({ url: "https://www.etsy.com" });
}

Configure how to handle resources for all request

const { configureResourceControl, configureTemplates } = require("node-iframe");

// optional: configure if elements should be inlined, cors, etc, this combines with the `config` param
configureResourceControl({
  inline: { script: true, link: false },
  cors: { script: true },
});
// optional: configure error-pages - check src/templates for more info
// 0: error, 1: not-found, 2: all templates - check src/templates/config for options
