@amplience/dc-integration-stylitics
A library for managing Stylitics Widgets within modern web frameworks, configuring them with content items from Amplience, as well as a collection of Content Types and Schemas you can install to make integrating Stylitics with Amplience considerably easier.
⚙️ Features
- Convert Content Item into Stylitics arguments
- Automatically create Stylitics Widgets
- Import Schemas, Content Types, sample Content Items into a Dynamic Content hub
- Use provided Templates for Content Rendering Service visualisation and cards
🏁 Quickstart
Using the Stylitics integration library requires a simple import from NPM or linking a prebuilt js file.
Once imported, the following two methods can be used:
-
fromContentItem: Convert from a content item containing Stylitics widget configuration into arguments you can provide to create the widget. -
createWidget: Create a Stylitics widget with a given set of arguments, including view type and account. Automatically loads necessary scripts for the view type asynchronously, and keeps them loaded for future requests.
These can be used regardless of implementation type (NodeJS project, Simple HTML/JS/CSS project or even using the Amplience Content Rendering Service)
The examples below show how you would use in each implementation type. We would recommend using the Amplience DC Delivery SDK to fetch your content
NodeJS Usage Example
Install the package from NPM:
npm i @amplience/dc-integration-stylitics
You can use it in your project as follows:
import { fromContentItem, createWidget } from '@amplience/dc-integration-stylitics';
// Fetch from DC, in the format found in the automation.
const contentItem = {
...
}
const element = document.getElementById('widget');
const args = fromContentItem(contentItem);
const widget = await createWidget(element, args);
widget.start();Similar to using the Stylitics widget manually, you can set overrides before starting the widget, refresh it with new arguments, or destroy() it when finished.
Usage HTML / JavaScript / CSS
For projects that don't use node, you can import a pre-packaged script that places the module in the global scope as ampStylitics:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@amplience/dc-integration-stylitics/dist/ampStylitics.browser.umd.min.js"></script>
<div id="widget"></div>
<script>
// Fetch from DC, in the format found in the automation.
const contentItem = {
...
}
const element = document.getElementById('widget');
const args = ampStylitics.fromContentItem(contentItem);
ampStylitics.createWidget(element, args).then(
widget => widget.start()
);
</script>Example
In the /examples folder you will see an implementation with the following files that includes fetching an item, instantiating the widget and support for real-time visualisation:

JavaScript used to fetch content / visualisation: examples/stylitics-widget.js
