Typeform React Embed Library

Typeform/embed-react is Typeform official embed library to embed typeforms in your React project.

Installation

Requirements:

  • node >= 14 (for node v12 use v1.21.0)
  • yarn or npm

Add the library to your project using your favourite package manager:

yarn add @typeform/embed-react

or

npm install @typeform/embed-react --save

Usage

Import the component you want to use. Then render it in your React app.

For example to embed your typeform as a Widget.

import { Widget } from '@typeform/embed-react'

const MyComponent = () => {
  return <Widget id="<form-id>" style={{ width: '50%' }} className="my-form" />
}

The PopupButton and SliderButton components provide a button to open the embed:

import { PopupButton } from '@typeform/embed-react'

const MyComponent = () => {
  return (
    <PopupButton id="<form-id>" style={{ fontSize: 20 }} className="my-button">
      click to open form in popup
    </PopupButton>
  )
}

You can render Popover and Slider components anywhere in your app (preferably at the end of the page):

import { Sidetab } from '@typeform/embed-react'

const MyComponent = () => {
  return <Sidetab id="<form-id>" buttonText="click to open" />
}

How to get form id of your form?

You can find <form-id> from the public URL of your form:

  • https://form.typeform.com/to/<form-id>

Or from admin panel URL:

  • https://admin.typeform.com/form/<form-id>/*

Configuration

Options

Pass options as props to the component.

<PopupButton
  id="<form-id>"
  size={60}
  hidden={{
    foo: 'Foo Value',
    bar: 'Bar Value',
  }}
  onReady={() => {
    console.log('form ready')
  }}
  enableSandbox
>
  click to open
</PopupButton>

CSP nonce support

If the global __webpack_nonce__ is set, its value will be used for a nonce attribute on the inline <style> block. See Github issue #458 for details.

Passing a custom ref

For some custom use cases it may be convenient to open the popup programmatically (without the button being clicked).

To do this, pass a ref to PopupButton, SliderButton, Popover and Sidetab components and then use ref.current.open() to trigger the popup to open.

Example:

const ref = useRef()
const openPopup = () => ref.current?.open()
// ...
<PopupButton
  id="<form-id>"
  ref={ref}
>
  click to open
</PopupButton>
