A button to POST an emoji to an endpoint

by React

<open-heart>

A button for the Open Heart Protocol.

? Highly experimental. Tag a version to avoid unexpected changes.

Usage

<!-- Include `OpenHeartElement` -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/open-heart-element" type="module" defer></script>

<!-- Render `<open-heart>` -->
<open-heart href="https://httpbin.org/post?id=x" emoji="❤️">♥</open-heart>

This sends a POST to the href with ❤️ in the body, and sets a key in localStorage to remember that a heart has been sent for this href.

Styling

This element does not come with any styling. Feel free to take whatever that’s on the demo page.
