Widget Generator

Step 1: Gather Widget Configuration

Ask the user for the following configuration options:

Basic Info

- id: string (unique, kebab-case)
- name: string (display name)
- slug: string (URL-friendly identifier)
- title: string (card title)
- description: string (card description)

Content (for standard mode)

- content: string (prompt content, can be multi-line markdown)
- type: "TEXT" | "STRUCTURED"
- structuredFormat?: "json" | "yaml" (if type is STRUCTURED)

Categorization

- tags?: string[] (e.g., ["AI", "Development"])
- category?: string (e.g., "Development", "Writing")

Action Button

- actionUrl?: string (CTA link)
- actionLabel?: string (CTA button text)

Sponsor (optional)

- sponsor?: {
    name: string
    logo: string (path to light mode logo)
    logoDark?: string (path to dark mode logo)
    url: string (sponsor website)
  }

Positioning Strategy

- positioning: {
    position: number (0-indexed start position, default: 2)
    mode: "once" | "repeat" (default: "once")
    repeatEvery?: number (for repeat mode, e.g., 30)
    maxCount?: number (max occurrences, default: 1 for once, unlimited for repeat)
  }

Injection Logic

- shouldInject?: (context) => boolean
  Context contains:
  - filters.q: search query
  - filters.category: category name
  - filters.categorySlug: category slug
  - filters.tag: tag filter
  - filters.sort: sort option
  - itemCount: total items in feed

Step 2: Create Widget File

Standard Widget (TypeScript only)

Create file: src/lib/plugins/widgets/{widget-id}.ts

import type { WidgetPlugin } from "./types";

export const {widgetId}Widget: WidgetPlugin = {
  id: "{widget-id}",
  name: "{Widget Name}",
  prompts: [
    {
      id: "{prompt-id}",
      slug: "{prompt-slug}",
      title: "{Title}",
      description: "{Description}",
      content: `{Multi-line content here}`,
      type: "TEXT",
      // Optional sponsor
      sponsor: {
        name: "{Sponsor Name}",
        logo: "/sponsors/{sponsor}.svg",
        logoDark: "/sponsors/{sponsor}-dark.svg",
        url: "{sponsor-url}",
      },
      tags: ["{Tag1}", "{Tag2}"],
      category: "{Category}",
      actionUrl: "{action-url}",
      actionLabel: "{Action Label}",
      positioning: {
        position: 2,
        mode: "repeat",
        repeatEvery: 50,
        maxCount: 3,
      },
      shouldInject: (context) => {
        const { filters } = context;
        
        // Always show when no filters active
        if (!filters?.q && !filters?.category && !filters?.tag) {
          return true;
        }
        
        // Add custom filter logic here
        return false;
      },
    },
  ],
};

Custom Render Widget (TSX with React)

Create file: src/lib/plugins/widgets/{widget-id}.tsx

import Link from "next/link";
import Image from "next/image";
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button";
import type { WidgetPlugin } from "./types";

function {WidgetName}Widget() {
  return (
    <div className="group border rounded-[var(--radius)] overflow-hidden hover:border-foreground/20 transition-colors bg-gradient-to-br from-primary/5 via-background to-primary/10 p-5">
      {/* Custom widget content */}
      <div className="flex flex-col items-center gap-4">
        {/* Image/visual element */}
        <div className="relative w-full aspect-video">
          <Image
            src="/path/to/image.jpg"
            alt="{Alt text}"
            fill
            className="object-cover rounded-lg"
          />
        </div>
        
        {/* Content */}
        <div className="w-full text-center">
          <h3 className="font-semibold text-base mb-1.5">{Title}</h3>
          <p className="text-xs text-muted-foreground mb-4">{Description}</p>
          <Button asChild size="sm" className="w-full">
            <Link href="{action-url}">{Action Label}</Link>
          </Button>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

export const {widgetId}Widget: WidgetPlugin = {
  id: "{widget-id}",
  name: "{Widget Name}",
  prompts: [
    {
      id: "{prompt-id}",
      slug: "{prompt-slug}",
      title: "{Title}",
      description: "{Description}",
      content: "",
      type: "TEXT",
      tags: ["{Tag1}", "{Tag2}"],
      category: "{Category}",
      actionUrl: "{action-url}",
      actionLabel: "{Action Label}",
      positioning: {
        position: 10,
        mode: "repeat",
        repeatEvery: 60,
        maxCount: 4,
      },
      shouldInject: () => true,
      render: () => <{WidgetName}Widget />,
    },
  ],
};

Step 3: Register Widget

Edit src/lib/plugins/widgets/index.ts:

1. Add import at top:

import { {widgetId}Widget } from "./{widget-id}";

2. Add to widgetPlugins array:

const widgetPlugins: WidgetPlugin[] = [
  coderabbitWidget,
  bookWidget,
  {widgetId}Widget, // Add new widget
];

Step 4: Add Sponsor Assets (if applicable)

If the widget has a sponsor:

1. Add light logo: public/sponsors/{sponsor}.svg
2. Add dark logo (optional): public/sponsors/{sponsor}-dark.svg

Positioning Examples

Show once at position 5
