# Embedding Testimonials NOW.TS provides multiple ways to embed and display your testimonials on your website or application. ## Widget Embed The easiest way to display testimonials is using our JavaScript widget: ### Basic Widget ```html

``` ### Customization Options ```javascript nowts("embed", "#nowts-testimonials", { layout: "grid", // 'grid', 'carousel', 'masonry' columns: 3, // Number of columns (grid layout) theme: "light", // 'light', 'dark', 'auto' showRating: true, // Show star ratings showCompany: true, // Show company names maxTestimonials: 12, // Maximum testimonials to display autoplay: false, // Auto-rotate testimonials (carousel) interval: 5000, // Rotation interval in ms (carousel) }); ``` ## React Component For React applications, use our official React component: ### Installation ```bash npm install @nowts/react-testimonials ``` ### Usage ```jsx import { Testimonials } from "@nowts/react-testimonials"; function App() { return (

Customer Testimonials

); } ``` ## API Integration For custom implementations, use our REST API to fetch testimonials: ### Fetch Testimonials ```javascript const response = await fetch("https://api.nowts.com/v1/testimonials", { headers: { Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN", }, }); const { testimonials } = await response.json(); ``` ### Custom Display ```javascript testimonials.forEach((testimonial) => { const element = document.createElement("div"); element.className = "testimonial"; element.innerHTML = `

${testimonial.content}

${testimonial.author.name} ${testimonial.author.company ? `, ${testimonial.author.company}` : ""} ${testimonial.rating ? `

${"★".repeat(testimonial.rating)}

` : ""} `; document.getElementById("testimonials-container").appendChild(element); }); ``` ## Styling Guidelines ### CSS Classes Our widget adds these CSS classes for custom styling: - `.nowts-testimonials` - Main container - `.nowts-testimonial` - Individual testimonial - `.nowts-content` - Testimonial content - `.nowts-author` - Author information - `.nowts-rating` - Star rating - `.nowts-company` - Company name ### Custom CSS Example ```css .nowts-testimonials { font-family: "Your Brand Font", sans-serif; } .nowts-testimonial { border: 1px solid #e2e8f0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 1.5rem; background: #ffffff; box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); } .nowts-content { font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #374151; } .nowts-author { font-weight: 600; color: #1f2937; } .nowts-rating { color: #fbbf24; margin-top: 0.5rem; } ``` ## Performance Tips - **Lazy Loading**: Use the `lazy` option to load testimonials only when they come into view - **Caching**: Enable caching to reduce API calls - **Image Optimization**: Testimonial avatars are automatically optimized - **CDN**: Our widget is served from a global CDN for fast loading
