Grill Widget is a tiny package (< 1kb compressed) that you can use to integrate Grill into your app. It wraps all of the available configs in a simple function call.
demo.mp4
yarn add @subsocial/grill-widget
or using CDN
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@subsocial/grill-widget@latest" defer></script>
<!-- You can change which specific version you want to use by changing the `@latest` to a specific version number. For example: `@0.0.8`. -->
<!-- this script will expose the `GRILL` variable to the window. -->
-
Add the div HTML tag with an id of
grill
to your app. Example:<div id="grill"></div>
-
Call
grill.init(config)
. The config is optional. Example:a) Use as a JS/TS module
import grill from '@subsocial/grill-widget' const config = {} grill.init(config)
b) Use as a global variable (CDN)
const config = {} window.GRILL.init(config)
-
That's it! 🥳
Our community is using Grill Widget in various ways. You can check out some of the examples in the examples folder.
You can customize the Grill UI by passing a config object to the grill.init()
function. For example:
import grill from '@subsocial/grill-widget'
grill.init({
theme: 'light',
// other options...
})
All config options are optional. If you don't pass any config, it will use the default config.

The resource config has a conditional structure, which means that each subsequent config value depends on the previous one through a config hierarchy. You can envision this hierarchy as a directed graph tree with a variety of values and a strict config structure. There are various supported combinations of config values. On the other hand, you can provide your own values. However, in that case, your resource config will only have a basic list of resourceValue properties.
In this list, you can find all of the currently supported config value conditions.
