ExperienceWidget

Corner site launcher: pass an experience id, the SDK loads preview plates, then expands an in-page conversation overlay on click.

Overview

<ExperienceWidget> is the homepage / support “floating widget” pattern: a collapsed corner preview that looks like ExperienceThumbnail, then expands to an in-page overlay when the user clicks. It is separate from the thumbnail (gallery cards stay cheap) and from a full-page <Experience> embed.

Pass only experience-id (and alt). On mount the widget calls GET /v1/experiences/{id}/preview to load gallery thumb plates — no API key and no origin allowlist. Session mint and allowlist checks happen only when the user expands.

Install

npm install @liforma/client
SurfaceImport / tag
Vanilla / CMS<liforma-experience-widget> via the CDN v2 script
Svelte@liforma/client/svelte
React@liforma/client/react
Next.js@liforma/client/next (client component)

Hello world (HTML)

Use position="bottom-right" or bottom-left (optional offset, default 16) for a paste-and-go corner FAB — ideal for CMS / WordPress. Default position="static" fills the host so you can place size and offsets with your own CSS. On desktop, the open player can reduce to a draggable portrait dock (~50% of screen height, 9:16); mobile opens near full-screen with close only. Preview images load without an allowlist; add your site origin in app.liforma.ai before users expand (session mint).
