gatsby-remark-twitter

Embed Tweet and Moment cards in Gatsby markdown.

Install

npm install --save "@weknow/gatsby-remark-twitter"

How to use

// In your gatsby-config.js
plugins: [
  {
    resolve: "gatsby-transformer-remark",
    options: {
      plugins: ["@weknow/gatsby-remark-twitter"]
    }
  }
];

If you want to get debug output, turn on the debug option in the plugin options.

// In your gatsby-config.js
plugins: [
  {
    resolve: "gatsby-transformer-remark",
    options: {
      plugins: [
        {
          resolve: "@weknow/gatsby-remark-twitter",
          options: {
            debug: true
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
];

These other options are also available, to control how the widget is rendered:

• hideThread Default true. Set to false to also show the tweet that a tweet is in reply to. (This is enabled by default because typically you'd just embed both tweets, and it gets really noisy when embedding entire twitter threads in a post.)
• hideMedia Default false. Set to true to hide media that is included in a tweet. For example, if a tweet has a photo or a video embedded, this means that the user has to click through to view it.
• align Set to 'left', 'right' or 'center' to make the embedded tweet float left, right, or be center-aligned. (The default is left-aligned, but not floated.)
• theme Set to 'dark' to use the dark theme.
• linkColor Set to a valid RGB value to specify link colors.
• widgetType Set to 'video' to return a Twitter Video embed for the given Tweet.

Usage

# Blog post title

This is an example of embedding a single tweet card.
Add any markdown as you normally do, and then insert a valid
Tweet link anywhere to automatically transform it into an
embed card.
