beerfyi-embed

Embed BeerFYI beverage widgets — beer styles, recipes, glossary terms, and interactive tools — on any website. 11 widget types, zero dependencies, Shadow DOM style isolation, 4 built-in themes (light, dark, sepia, auto), and live data from the BeerFYI database.

Every widget includes a "Powered by BeerFYI" backlink directing readers to the full beverage reference.

Quick Start

<!-- Place widget div where you want it to appear -->
<div data-beerfyi="recipe" data-slug="styles" data-theme="light"></div>

<!-- Load the embed script once, anywhere on the page -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/beerfyi-embed@1/dist/embed.min.js"></script>

That's it. The widget fetches data from the BeerFYI API and renders with full style isolation.

Widget Options

| Attribute | Values | Default | Description | |-----------|--------|---------|-------------| | data-beerfyi | recipe, compare, glossary, faq, guide, ingredient, pairing, search, [tools] | required | Widget type | | data-slug | e.g. "styles" | — | Entity slug from the BeerFYI database | | data-theme | light, dark, sepia, auto | light | Visual theme (auto follows OS preference) | | data-styleVariant | modern, classic | modern | Widget design style | | data-size | default, compact, large | default | Widget size | | data-placeholder | any string | "Search Beer Styles..." | Search box placeholder |

Themes

<!-- Light (default) -->
<div data-beerfyi="recipe" data-slug="styles" data-theme="light"></div>

<!-- Dark -->
<div data-beerfyi="recipe" data-slug="styles" data-theme="dark"></div>

<!-- Sepia -->
<div data-beerfyi="recipe" data-slug="styles" data-theme="sepia"></div>

<!-- Auto — follows OS dark/light preference -->
<div data-beerfyi="recipe" data-slug="styles" data-theme="auto"></div>

Web Components (Custom Elements)

As an alternative to data-* attributes, you can use native HTML custom elements:

<!-- Custom element form -->
<beerfyi-recipe slug="styles" theme="light"></beerfyi-recipe>
<beerfyi-compare slugs="styles,other-slug"></beerfyi-compare>
<beerfyi-search placeholder="Search Beer Styles..."></beerfyi-search>

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/beerfyi-embed@1/dist/embed.min.js"></script>

Use style-variant (not style) to avoid conflicts with the HTML reserved style attribute.
