🗂️ User guide

Just copy both files (mastodon-timeline.css and mastodon-timeline.js from /src folder) in your project folder.

Now call each one in your page using the <link> and <script> tag:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="mastodon-timeline.css">

<script src='mastodon-timeline.js'></script>

Then copy the following html structure:

<div class="mt-timeline">
    <div id="mt-body" class="mt-body" role="feed">
        <div class="loading-spinner"></div>
    </div>
</div>

Great, you have a Mastodon timeline running in your page.

The next step will be to setup the timeline with your account info. For that, edit the the JS file mastodon-timeline.js and at the beginning replace the following values:

    instance_uri:   'Your Mastodon instance',
    user_id:        'Your user ID on Mastodon instance',
    profile_name:   'Your user name on Mastodon instance',

If you don't know your user_id, you have two ways to get it:

Right click on your avatar image and inspect the element. You will see in your html code a line like this one:
<img src="https://files.xxxxxxxx.xx/accounts/avatars/000/180/745/original/xxxxxxxxxx.png" alt="xxxx">
Check the src="" url, your user id is between /accounts/avatars/ and /original/. So removing the slashs / you will get your user id, like in the example: 000180745
Other option, just copy your @profile_name and @instance_uri here:

Here you have some parameters to customize your embed timeline:

    // Maximum amount of toots to get from the user (default: 20)
    toots_limit: '20'

    // Hide boosted toots (default: don't hide)
    hide_reblog: false

    // Hide replies from the user (default: don't hide)
    hide_replies: false

    // Limit the text content to a maximum number of lines (default: unlimited)
    text_max_lines: '0'

    // Customize the text of the button linking to the user profile page (appears after the last toot)
    btn_see_more: 'See more posts at Mastodon'
