Target Element (Optional)

Enter "#custom-target" to test rendering in the blue box below

Current Script Tag:

<script src="/widget.js"
  data-advertiser-name="Nativo"
  data-advertiser-logo="https://sponsoredcontent.com/nativo-logo.png"
  data-advertiser-url="https://sponsoredcontent.com"
  async></script>

Test Target Element (use selector: #custom-target)

Custom target element - widget action will appear here if targeted

Installation

Add the widget script with data attributes to your page. The widget will automatically initialize when the script loads.

<!-- Add this script tag to your page -->
<script src="https://sponsoredcontent.com/widget.js"
  data-advertiser-name="Your Brand"
  data-advertiser-logo="https://your-logo.png"
  data-advertiser-url="https://your-site.com"
  data-content-selector="#article-content"
  data-is-embed="true"
  async></script>

<!-- Optional: Render widget action inside a specific element -->
<!-- Example: data-target-element="#my-custom-container" -->
<!-- The widget action/button will render inside that element -->

Key Points:

The widget auto-initializes when the script loads
All configuration is done via data attributes
Without data-target-element, widget uses default rendering
With data-target-element, widget action renders inside the specified element
The widget uses Shadow DOM for complete style isolation
