Demo

Install

Where Was I? is available as a module through npm or as a CDN.

Npm install:

npm install -S where-was-i

And then in the root of your project:

import whereWasI from 'where-was-i'

whereWasI()

Or via CDN, add Where Was I? with dependencies manually to the <head> element of your site:

<script
  src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/html2canvas/1.4.1/html2canvas.min.js"
  defer
></script>
<script
  src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/lib/index.iife.min.js"
  defer
></script>

Note: Where Was I? depends on html2canvas, which is not included in the CDN.

Then initiate it:

<script>
  if (typeof WhereWasI !== 'undefined' && typeof html2canvas !== 'undefined') {
    WhereWasI()
  }
</script>

Options

Where Was I? offers a lot of customizability to tailor the plugin to fit your needs
