Usage

GravatarQuickEditor

The GravatarQuickEditor class simplifies the setup process by automatically setting up event handlers to open the popup and update avatar elements on the page.

Example

import { GravatarQuickEditor } from '@gravatar-com/quick-editor';

document.addEventListener( 'DOMContentLoaded', () => {
  new GravatarQuickEditor( {
    email: 'user@example.com',
    editorTriggerSelector: '#edit-profile',
    avatarSelector: '#gravatar-avatar',
    scope: [ 'avatars' ],
  } );
} );

GravatarQuickEditorCore

The GravatarQuickEditorCore class provides advanced control over the Gravatar Quick Editor functionality, allowing developers to trigger popup events and set up profile update callbacks.

Core Example

import { GravatarQuickEditorCore } from '@gravatar-com/quick-editor';

document.addEventListener( 'DOMContentLoaded', () => {
  const quickEditorCore = new GravatarQuickEditorCore( {
    email: 'user@example.com',
    scope: [ 'avatars', 'about' ],
    onProfileUpdated: () => {
      console.log( 'Profile updated!' );
    },
    onOpened: () => {
      console.log( 'Editor opened!' );
    },
  } );

  document.getElementById( 'edit-profile' ).addEventListener( 'click', () => {
    quickEditorCore.open();
  } );
} );

API

GravatarQuickEditor API

new GravatarQuickEditor(options: QuickEditorOptions);

QuickEditorOptions Type

type QuickEditorOptions = {
  email: string;
  editorTriggerSelector: string;
  avatarSelector?: string;
  scope?: Scope;
  locale?: string;
  avatarRefreshDelay?: number;
};

• email: string: The email address associated with the Gravatar profile. This is used to identify the profile to be edited.

• editorTriggerSelector: string: A CSS selector for the HTML element (e.g., button) that triggers the opening of the Gravatar Quick Editor popup.

• avatarSelector: string: A CSS selector for the HTML image element(s) that displays the Gravatar avatar. When the avatar is updated, the image(s) will be refreshed automatically.

• scope: Scope: An array specifying what sections of the profile can be edited in the popup. Check the list of valid scope values

• locale: string: The locale setting for the Gravatar editor interface. This can be used to set the language for the editor UI.

• avatarRefreshDelay: number: The delay in milliseconds before the avatar image is refreshed after an update. This can help ensure any cache can be busted before the new image is displayed.

While updating the avatar image, to bypass the browser's cache, the Quick Editor will add a t parameter with the current timestamp to the avatar URL.

It will receive a parameter of type ProfileUpdatedType which can have one of the values: 'avatar_updated' | 'profile_updated'
