About

Use this component to remotely load markup and content from the central EMBL ContentHub, this particular component allows reuse and distribution of content ranging articles to navigation elements (such as a global footer).

Usage

Currently this is done as HTML imports (see the code example) + some JS. In the future other methods will be support (such as JSON).

Integrations
