Story
A tap-through story card that pulls recommended articles, mixes in configured actions, and lets users move through items without leaving the page.
Introduction
The Story widget renders a single-story viewer that fetches recommended articles from the SyncCMS recommendation endpoint and combines them with any `actions` configured in the experience.
Items are shown as a large image card with progress indicators, a title, and a read-more CTA. Clicking the left or right side of the card moves backward or forward through the loaded items.
The request is lazy-loaded when the widget comes into view, and the next image is preloaded so transitions feel more immediate once the story has started.
Features
- 1Recommendation Feed Plus Actions
- The widget merges recommended articles returned by SyncCMS with any manually configured actions, then shuffles the combined set before display.
- 2Tap-Or-Click Navigation
- Users can move between items by pressing the left or right half of the story surface, while the read-more button remains a direct outbound link.
- 3In-View Loading
- The recommendation request waits until the widget enters view, which avoids doing the work too early on long pages.
- 4Theme And Height Controls
- The integration supports a configurable height and a dark theme flag so the viewer can adapt to different placements.
Integration
The story widget requires SyncCMS credentials in `window.UNISIGNIN_CONFIG` and an experience config that provides any additional `actions`. The container itself only needs the experience ID and optional display attributes.
- `data-exp-id` selects the experience config.
- `data-height` controls the desktop story height.
- `data-theme="dark"` switches the body-level dark story styling on.
