Profile Hover

profile-hover is a drop-in component that displays profile metadata for any ethereum address. Available in React and HTML/CSS versions.

Component Overview

The Profile Hover consists of two components: the Tile, which is displayed on the page, and the Hover, which is displayed when the Tile is hovered. Profile Hover is available for React and HTML/CSS apps.

Getting Started

React Component

Installation:

npm i -S profile-hover

Usage:

import ProfileHover from 'profile-hover';

const MyComponent = () => (<ProfileHover address={'0xa8ee0babe72cd9a80ae45dd74cd3eae7a82fd5d1'} />);

HTML Element

First add the script at the end of your page.

  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://unpkg.com/profile-hover"></script>

Then add the following tag where ever you display an address.

  <threebox-address data-address='0xa8ee0babe72cd9a80ae45dd74cd3eae7a82fd5d1'></threebox-address>

Additional Options:

Add data-display='full' to show the entire address instead of the shorten display.

  <threebox-address data-address='0xa8ee0...' data-display='full'></threebox-address>

Add data-theme='none' to not use any of our address bar styling. Allows you to wrap any existing elements in an address hover.

  <threebox-address data-address='0xa8ee0...' data-theme='none'>
    ... your own html and styling
  </threebox-address>

Differences Between Desktop and Mobile

Given the current state of Web3 mobile dapp browsers and their lack of browser tab support, the behavior of the profile-hover React component has minor differences depending on device context. On desktop web and web2 mobile browsers, out-bound links within the hover element work as usual and open a new tab. However on Web3 mobile dapp browsers, since tabs do not exist, clicking on a link within the hover component will, instead, copy that URL to a users clipboard.
