I found one of amazing link Here that create widget for the Medium posts.

Unfortunately I could not use the code in a react website

example(A random medium author):

<div id="medium-widget"></div>
    <script src=".js"></script>
    <script>MediumWidget.Init({renderTo: '#medium-widget', params: {"resource":"/@sunilsandhu","postsPerLine":2,"limit":4,"picture":"big","fields":["description","author","claps","publishAt"],"ratio":"landscape"}})</script>

Result is should be like this

How can I use the code in React website ?

Also I found a Angular version of this here but could not use in React app.

Thanks in advance

In index.html

<script src="https://medium-widget.pixelpoint.io/widget.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  function mediumWidget(){
    MediumWidget.Init({renderTo: '#medium-widget', params: {"resource":"https://medium./@sunilsandhu","postsPerLine":2,"limit":4,"picture":"big","fields":["description","author","claps","publishAt"],"ratio":"landscape"}});
  }
</script>

In your ponent

ponentDidMount() {
  window.mediumWidget();
}
render() {
  return (<div id="medium-widget"></div>);
}

just run the MediumWidget.Init code at ponentDidMount life cycle or use the useEffect hook to run it.

Add the below code in your index.html

<script src="https://medium-widget.pixelpoint.io/widget.js"></script>
      <script type="text/javascript">
    
        function mediumWidget() {
          MediumWidget.Init({
            renderTo: "#medium-widget",
            params: {
              resource: "https://medium./@sunilsandhu",
              postsPerLine: 2,
              limit: 4,
              picture: "big",
              fields: ["description", "author", "claps", "publishAt"],
              ratio: "landscape",
            },
          });
        }
        
      </script>

Add the following code in your ponent.

    ponentDidMount() {
        try {
          
          var widget = document.getElementById("medium-widget");
          if (!!widget) {
            window.mediumWidget();
          }
        }
        catch(e){
          window.location.reload();
        }
      }
    return (<div id="medium-widget" ></div>)

If you have multiple pages in your react application and if you use history.push() for each page then when you e back the page which renders medium widget gives an error.

Therefore I add try-catch. we need to check whether the medium widget load or not. If the medium fails to load the page will reload again.

I dug into the code a little and found a method to use to unmount the widget. The result:

 useEffect(() => {
    window.MediumWidget.Init(widgetParams);
    return () => {
      window.MediumWidget.unmount();
    };
  }, []);

The unmount() method can also be called in ComponentWillUnmount if yer into that.
