Using Behold with Svelte

Add Instagram galleries to your Svelte and SvelteKit projects with our drop-in widget.

Behold Svelte

Widget Component

Our official Svelte component is a lightweight wrapper around our core web component, and let’s you easily add Behold Instagram widgets to your Svelte SFCs.

It has zero dependencies and is fully typed.

Installation

First, create a widget feed, and copy the feedId from your widget embed code. Next, install with your package manager of choice.

Terminal window
npm install @behold/svelte
# or
pnpm add @behold/svelte
# or
yarn add @behold/svelte

Usage

1. Import the component

import BeholdWidget from "@behold/svelte"

2. Add to your app

Use it like you would any other Svelte component:

<BeholdWidget feedId="YOUR_FEED_ID" />

Configuration

The Behold widget component accepts a single property: feedId, which can be found by opening your feed in the Behold dashboard and clicking on Embed Code.

All configuration and customization is handled in the Behold admin. When you make changes there it will automatically update your widget, no code modifications required. Because of browser caching, changes can take a minute or two to show up. Clearing your cache and incognito/private windows will help.

Load event

This component emits a load event after its initial render. It can be used as follows:

<BeholdWidget on:load={() => console.log("Loaded!")} feedId="YOUR_FEED_ID" />

A note about SSR

This component relies on client-only APIs and won’t be pre-rendered by SSR or SSG. That means there will be a moment before it renders where its height will be 0px. You can prevent layout shifts this may cause by applying dimensions to a container element with CSS.
