disqus

Load disqus threads

See in the wild on the American Scenic Byways website - source.

Installation

Install with npm(1):

$ npm install --save disqus-snippet

API

Add #disqus_thread element where you want the thread of discus comments to be rendered.

The following configuration variables are supported:

• shortname - your disqus forum id - the only mandatory parameter
• identifier - identifier if different than URL, recommended
• title - page title if different from head.title
• url - cannonical page URL, recomended if page URL can have query params
• developer - set to 1 when loading from localhost

You can pass disqus paramaters using dataset attributes or options object.

On the page:

  <div id="disqus_thread" data-shortname="foo" data-title="Thrursday Foo Discussion"></div>

In the script:

  var disqus = require(`disqus`);
  disqus({
    title: 'Some other title',
    developer: 1
  });

Parameters passed to disqus function overwrite those set up using data- attributes.

If no #disqus_thread element is found we die silently.
