cablefyi-embed

Embed CableFYI widgets — cables, glossary terms, interactive tools, and inline elements — on any website. 9 widget types, zero dependencies, Shadow DOM style isolation, 4 built-in themes (light, dark, sepia, auto), 2 styles (modern, clean), and live data from the CableFYI database.

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

Quick Start

<!-- Place widget div where you want it to appear -->
<div data-cablefyi="entity" data-slug="cables" data-theme="light"></div>

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

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