Usage

The GifSearch component is the main feature of the extension. Here are the features of the GifSearch component based on the code provided:

• Customizable Search Filters: You can customize the search filters to provide only the type of GIFs that you want to show in your app. In the code, the Filter parameter is set to high, which limits the search results to only show GIFs that are safe for all ages. Other values for Filter is - off,low, medium,
• Easy GIF Selection: The onGifSelect function is called when the user selects a GIF. A function handleGifSelect is provided that returns the selected GIF's URL.
• Tenor API Key: To use the GifSearch component, you need to provide a Tenor API key. In the code, the tenorkey parameter is used to provide the API key. You can obtain an API key from Tenor's developer portal.

What to do with the results

After selecting the GIF, you can define the next process to be done using the handleGifSelect function. It will return an object containing the properties and metadata of the selected GIF in the data parameter.

Adding Custom styles

You can customize the styling of the component by passing in your own styles as props. There are two parts to the styles - the search box styles and the gif box styles.

For the search box, you can pass in CSS selectors using the following props:

• searchContainer: Sets the style properties for a container element that contains a search bar.
• closeButton: Sets the style properties for a button that allows the user to clear the search bar.
• closeButtonText: Sets the style properties for the text inside the close button.

To modify the styles of the gif, you can use the following selectors:

• button: Sets the style properties for a button element and changes the default appearance of the button.
• .row: This selector sets the display to "flex" and sets the flex-wrap property to "wrap".
• .column: Sets various style properties for an element with a class of "column". This selector sets the maximum width to 50%.
• .giftext: Sets the style properties for an element with a class of "giftext". This selector affects the text shown in the gif categories page.
• img: Sets the style properties for an img element.
