About

donations-box is a widget for developers who want to list all their donation links, in a single place.

Features

• No Javascript required.
• No frames.
• Easy to use.
• Configurable.
• Minified already.
• Open Source.

Installation

• Via NPM: npm i donations-box -g.
• Via YARN: yarn global add donations-box.

Usage

To add this widget to your site:

1. Install it.
2. Create a new file called donations-box.config.js, in the root of your project.
3. Set your donation links and your desired configurations. See here.
4. Write <!-- donations-box --> where you want to include this widget.
5. Call the CLI or the JS version, during you build process.

And that's it!

If everything works as expected, you should see a new file in public/css called donations-box.min.css, and your files where you wrote <!-- donations-box --> with the Donations Box's markup.

CLI

Run donations-box my-file.

Where my-file is where you want to add the widget to.

Configuration

Configuration is done using a js or a json file, but a js file is recommended. The only requirement is that the js file should export an object with your configurations.

Below are the supported configurations (remember that all the options are used for display purposes):

module.exports = {
	/**
	 * If a truthy value is given, open all links in a new window.
	 * 
	 * @type {?boolean}
	 */

	 * [Optional]
	 *
	 * The reason why you're asking for donations.
	 * 
	 * @type {?string}
	 */
	'headline': '',
	/**
	 * [Optional]
	 * 
	 * A disclaimer about your donations.
	 * 
	 * Any HTML tag is valid, but it will be added within a <small> element.
	 * 
	 * @type {?string}
	 */
	'disclaimer': '',
	/**
