# Portal

[![CI Status](https://github.com/TryGhost/portal/workflows/Test/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://github.com/TryGhost/portal/actions)
[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/%40tryghost%portal.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/js/%40tryghost%2Fportal)

Drop-in script to make the bulk of Ghost membership features work on any theme.

## Usage

Add below script in your theme's `default.hbs` just before the end of body tag OR in the code injection footer in Ghost Admin.

```html
<script defer src="https://unpkg.com/@tryghost/members-js@latest/umd/portal.min.js" data-ghost="https://mymemberssite.com"></script>
```

The `data-ghost` attribute expects the URL for your site which is the only input Portal needs to work with your site's membership data via Ghost APIs.

NOTE: This is currently under active development and can be switched on with a new dedicated flag - `portal` - in [Ghost config](https://ghost.org/docs/concepts/config/), which needs to be added to config file before starting the server.

```json
{
    ...,
    "portal": true
}
```

### Custom trigger button

By default, the script adds a default floating trigger button on the bottom right of your page which is used to trigger the popup on screen.

Its possible to add custom trigger button of your own by adding data attribute `data-portal` to any HTML tag on page, and also specify a specfic [page](https://github.com/TryGhost/Portal/blob/master/src/pages.js#L13-L22) to open from it by using it as `data-portal=signup`.

The script also adds custom class names to this element for open and close state of popup - `gh-members-popup-open` and `gh-members-popup-close`, allowing devs to update its UI based on popup state.

## Basic Setup

1. Clone this repository:

```shell
git@github.com:TryGhost/portal.git
```

2. Change into the new directory and install the dependencies:

```shell
cd portal
yarn
```

## Configure for local development

Only useful for active UI development without publishing a version on unpkg. Always use the unpkg link for testing latest released portal script.

#### In this repo(Portal):

- Run `yarn build` to create the minified bundle with your changes at `umd/portal.min.js`

#### In your theme(Ex. Lyra):

- Copy `portal.min.js` from above and paste it in your theme at `assets/built/portal.min.js`
- Add below code in your theme's `default.hbs` just before end of body tag

```html
<script src='{{asset "built/portal.min.js"}}'></script>
```
