Widget configuration

Learn about general FeedbackFlow Widget configuration properties.

Classes

The widget will always have the .feedbackflow-widget class. You can use this class to style the widget. When used as a floating action button, the widget will also have the .feedbackflow-action-widget class.

Configuration

The FeedbackFlow widget gets its configuration from the data- attributes in the script tag that loads the widget. You can customize the widget by setting the following attributes.

Automatic vs manual injection

If you set data-auto-inject to true, the floating action widget is automatically injected into your page. If you set it to false, you need to do it manually.

Manual injection

The FeedbackFlow widget exposes a global FeedbackFlow object that you can use to manually inject the widget into the page.

const widget = FeedbackFlow.createWidget();

The returned widget object has the following methods:

• remove(): removes the widget from the DOM.

UI customization

The widget offers two customization options:

• CSS variables and/or
• custom CSS.

CSS variables

The widget uses CSS variables to define its appearance. You can override the default values by setting the variables in your application's CSS. The values of the variables are in HSL format.

These are the default values:

.feedbackflow-widget {
  --background: 0 0% 100%;
  --foreground: 240 10% 3.9%;
  --primary: 240 5.9% 10%;
  --primary-foreground: 0 0% 98%;
  --muted-foreground: 240 3.8% 46.1%;
  --accent: 240 4.8% 95.9%;
  --accent-foreground: 240 5.9% 10%;
  --border: 240 5.9% 90%;
  --ring: 240 10% 3.9%;
}

Custom CSS

If you want to customize the widget further, you can add custom CSS to your application.

An example of changing the font family:

.feedbackflow-widget {
  font-family: monospace;
}
