| # 🐘 Mastodon embed timeline
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Embed a mastodon feed timeline in your page, only with a CSS and JS file.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Source code running at:
 | |
| <https://codepen.io/ipuntoj/pen/MWppNGL>
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## 🗂️ User guide
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Install
 | |
| 
 | |
| 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:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```html
 | |
| <link rel="stylesheet" href="mastodon-timeline.css" />
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```html
 | |
| <script src="mastodon-timeline.js"></script>
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Then copy the following html structure:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```html
 | |
| <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.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Setup
 | |
| 
 | |
| Edit the the JS file _mastodon-timeline.js_ and at the beginning find these two lines:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```javascript
 | |
|     instance_url:   'Your Mastodon instance',
 | |
|     timeline_type:  'local',
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Enter your Mastodon instance URL (not including the last `/` symbol) and reload the page. You should see toots from your local instance in your timeline.
 | |
| 
 | |
| If you want to show a profile timeline then change the `timeline_type` to `profile` and set the following values:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```javascript
 | |
|     user_id:        'Your user ID on Mastodon instance',
 | |
|     profile_name:   'Your user name on Mastodon instance',
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| If you prefer to show a timeline with a specific hashtag then change the `timeline_type` to `hashtag` and enter the name of the hashtag (not including the `#` symbol):
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```javascript
 | |
|     hashtag_name:   'YourHashtag',
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Also you have some parameters to customize your embed timeline:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```javascript
 | |
| // Preferred color theme: 'light', 'dark' or 'auto'. Default: auto
 | |
| default_theme: "auto",
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Maximum amount of toots to get. Default: 20
 | |
| toots_limit: "20",
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Hide unlisted toots. Default: don't hide
 | |
| hide_unlisted: false,
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Hide boosted toots. Default: don't hide
 | |
| hide_reblog: false,
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Hide replies toots. Default: don't hide
 | |
| hide_replies: false,
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Hide preview for links. Default: don't hide
 | |
| hide_preview_link: false,
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Hide custom emojis available on the server. Default: don't hide
 | |
| hide_emojos: false,
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Converts Markdown symbol ">" at the beginning of a paragraph into a blockquote HTML tag. Default: don't apply
 | |
| markdown_blockquote: false,
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Limit the text content to a maximum number of lines. Default: 0 (unlimited)
 | |
| text_max_lines: "0",
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Hide replies, boosts and favourites toots counter. Default: don't hide
 | |
| hide_counter_bar: false,
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Customize the text of the link pointing to the Mastodon page (appears after the last toot)
 | |
| link_see_more: "See more posts at Mastodon",
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Tip
 | |
| 
 | |
| 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:  
 | |
|   <a href="https://prouser123.me/mastodon-userid-lookup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://prouser123.me/mastodon-userid-lookup/</a>
