Svelte WP Shortcodes

Effortlessly blend Svelte components into content with WordPress-inspired shortcodes. Simplify dynamic embedding with a familiar touch.

Demo

🚀 Features

• 📌 Dynamic Embeds: Seamlessly integrate Svelte components into static content.
• 🔄 Props Transfer: Directly pass shortcode attributes as Svelte props.
• ✒️ Versatile Syntax: Supports both self-closing ([component]) and pair tags ([component]...[/component]), allowing you to write shortcodes with or without quotes around attribute values ([youtube id="123"] or [youtube id=123]).
• 🎟️ Slot Support: Easily pass content between opening and closing shortcodes, which gets rendered using Svelte's <slot> mechanism. It also supports export let slot if you need the slot content as a variable.
• 🧱 HTML Compatibility: Seamless integration with HTML content! the library won't interfere with your HTML structure.
• 🌐 SSR Compatibility: Ready for SvelteKit's server-side rendering.
• 🛠️ Custom Components: Fully adaptable with your custom Svelte components for personalized designs.
• 📦 Unlimited Shortcodes: Embed any number of Svelte components or shortcodes without restrictions.
• 📜 Multi-Line Support: Captures and processes shortcodes with content that spans multiple lines, ensuring a flexible and forgiving user experience.

📦 Installation

# bun
bun install @elron/svelte-wp-shortcode@latest

# pnpm
pnpm install @elron/svelte-wp-shortcode@latest

# npm
npm install @elron/svelte-wp-shortcode@latest

# Yarn
yarn install @elron/svelte-wp-shortcode@latest

🛠️ Quick Start

1. Import the Shortcodes component and your custom Svelte components:

import WpShortcodes from '@elron/svelte-wp-shortcode';

// Import Your Own Custom Svelte Components
import TryButton from './TryButton.svelte';
import Note from './Note.svelte';
import Youtube from './Youtube.svelte';
import Strong from './Strong.svelte';

2. Use the shortcodes in your content:

<WpShortcodes 
    markup={`
        Simple embed: [try-button]
        Text within: [note]Here's some inner text![/note]
        With properties: [youtube id=EVP1NQAnpYk]
        All combined: [strong color="red" class="text-xl"]Awesome, right?[/strong]
        With HTML: <i>Still works!<i>
    `}
    components={{
        'try-button': TryButton, 
        'note': Note,
        'youtube': Youtube,
        'strong': Strong
    }} 
/>

Voilà! The <TryButton>, <Note>, <Youtube>, and <Strong> Svelte components are rendered based on their respective shortcode types. Obviously, you can replace them with your own components.

Notes

• For the shortcode attributes, you must use double quotes [example message="hey"] or no quotes at all [example message=hey]. Single quotes won't work.
• The library does not support for nested shortcodes. It's optimized for simpler use cases, but deeper nesting or intricate scenarios might require special attention.
• The attribute slot is reserved so you can use export let slot if needed (<slot /> is supported as well). Example: If this is the shortcode [shortcode slot="Initial Content"]Overridden Content[/shortcode] then export let slot the slot value will become Overriden Content.

⚠️ Warning!

There is a known svelte issue - {@html} tag is broken during hydration #8213 - that causes the @html code to render badly (duplicates itself).

If you encounter an issue, there are two known workarounds for now.

Workaround #1 is to use {#key mounted} wrapper

This workaround still supports SSR (good for SEO).

<script lang="ts">
  import WpShortcodes from '@elron/svelte-wp-shortcode';
  import TryButton from './WpShortcodes/TryButton.svelte';

  export let markup: string;

  let components = { 'try-button': TryButton };

  onMount(() => {
    mounted = true;
  });
</script>

{#key mounted}
  <WpShortcodes {components} {markup} />
{/key}

Workaround #2 is to disable CSR in SvelteKit, in the +page.ts file:

This will disable SSR (bad for SEO).

export const csr = false;
