Github gists

import * as React from "react";

import { GithubGist } from "react-gistlab";

import s from "./CodeSnippet.scss";

const CodeSnippet = () => (
  <div className={s.CodeSnippet}>
    <GithubGist
      url="https://gist.github.com/teimurjan/5dcc351c06f5b67e403d37c10dd88634#file-dto-py.json"
      Loading={() => <p>LOADING!</p>}
    />
  </div>
);

Gitlab snippet

⚠️⚠️⚠️ WARNING ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Be careful in using it in production!

Gitlab uses document.write in their snippets, that's why the snippet not working directly in SPAs. Fetching their snippet directly is blocked by CORS. That's why you should use a disable cors proxy for fetching the snippet. By default it's cors.io. In order to be safe from XSS, you will need to have your own proxy!

import * as React from "react";

import { GitlabSnippet } from "react-gistlab";

import s from "./CodeSnippet.scss";

const CodeSnippet = () => (
  <div className={s.CodeSnippet}>
    <GitlabSnippet
      url="https://gitlab.com/snippets/1839780"
      Loading={() => <p>LOADING!</p>}
      corsProxyURL="https://your.own.proxy/?"
    />
  </div>
);
