  • ✅ Fetches widget config from Vercel KV
  • ✅ Returns latest 5 changelog entries
  • ✅ Tracks impressions automatically
  • ✅ OPTIONS endpoint for preflight requests

Endpoints:

GET / api / widget / [widgetId]; // Get widget data
OPTIONS / api / widget / [widgetId]; // CORS preflight
POST / api / widget / track; // Track events

2. Embeddable Widget Component

React Component (embeddable-widget.tsx)

  • For use within GitLog app
  • Full React features
  • Client-side rendering
  • Uses Tailwind CSS

Vanilla JS Script (widget.js)

  • For external websites
  • Zero dependencies

4. Analytics Tracking

Tracked Events:

  • Impressions: Widget loads (counted per widget)
  • Clicks: Entry clicks (counted per entry)
  • Storage: Vercel KV

Tracking Keys:

`widget:impressions:${widgetId}``widget:clicks:${widgetId}``widget:entry:${widgetId}:${entryId}:clicks`;

5. CORS Configuration

Headers:

{
  'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
  'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': 'GET, OPTIONS',
  'Access-Control-Allow-Headers': 'Content-Type',
  'Access-Control-Max-Age': '86400',
}

Note: In production, restrict Access-Control-Allow-Origin to specific domains.

💡 Key Learnings

  1. Vanilla JS for Embeds: React is too heavy for external embeds. Vanilla JS ensures maximum compatibility.

  2. CORS is Critical: Without proper CORS headers, the widget won't work on external sites.

  3. Inline Styles: External CSS requests can fail on some sites. Inline styles ensure consistent rendering.

  4. Async Loading: Widget must not block page load. Async attribute is essential.

  5. Fail Silently: If widget fails, don't show errors to end users. Log to console only.

🎉 W-02 Complete!

Status: ✅ All acceptance criteria met
