Usage

This package contains two things:

• a React component for previewing URLs
• a React hook for getting the preview data

Setup

First, install the package.

$ npm install @opengraphninja/react
# or
$ yarn add @opengraphninja/react

Using the React component

Using the React component is pretty easy:

import "@opengraphninja/react/styles.css";
import { PreviewLink } from "@opengraphninja/react";

export const App = () => {
  return <PreviewLink href="https://opengraph.ninja" />;
};

Using the React hook

If you want to design your own preview, you can use the React hook usePreviewData:

import { usePreviewData } from "@opengraphninja/react";

type Props = { href: string };
export const SimplePreview = (props: Props) => {
  const previewData = usePreviewData(props.href);
  if (previewData.status !== "success") {
    return <p>Loading…</p>;
  }
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>{previewData.data.title}</h2>
      <p>{previewData.data.description}</p>
    </div>
  );
};

Usage without React

If you're not using React, you can use the @opengraphninja/sdk package instead!
