How to customize Rozz chatbot for your site using attributes?

Direct Answer

Rozz uses data-* attributes to easily customize the look and feel of the chatbot.

The <rozz-searchbox> web component allows extensive customization of button styling, searchbox behavior, colors, positioning, and more through simple HTML attributes.

Detailed Explanation

The <rozz-searchbox> web component allows for extensive customization using several data-* attributes.

These attributes control the look and feel of the component, from button styling to searchbox behavior.

WordPress Shortcode Users

The attributes are simplified in WP: remove the 'data-' and replace '-' with '_'.

For example: data-button-background becomes button_background.

The full list of shortcodes is available here.

The WP plugin itself is available here.

Button Attributes

| data-button-background | Default: #b7238b | Sets the background of the button using a CSS color or formula. | <rozz-searchbox data-button-background="linear-gradient(90deg, #ff0000, #00ff00)"></rozz-searchbox> |

| data-button-top-position | Default: 30% | Defines the vertical position of the button relative to the viewport height. | <rozz-searchbox data-button-top-position="70vh"></rozz-searchbox> |

| data-button-right-position | Default: 5% | Defines the horizontal position of the button relative to the viewport width. | <rozz-searchbox data-button-right-position="10vw"></rozz-searchbox> |

| data-button-positioning-method | Default: fixed | Controls how the button is positioned on the page. | Most common values: fixed, absolute, relative, sticky. Usage: <rozz-searchbox data-button-positioning-method="absolute"></rozz-searchbox> |

Searchbox Attributes

| data-max-width | Default: 900px | Defines the maximum width for the component. Supports various units such as px, %, vw, vh, em, rem, cm. | <rozz-searchbox data-max-width="50%"></rozz-searchbox> |

| data-max-height | Default: 75vh | Defines the maximum height for the component. Supports various units such as px, %, vh, etc. | <rozz-searchbox data-max-height="600px"></rozz-searchbox> |

| data-font-family | Default: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif | Sets the font family used in the searchbox component. | <rozz-searchbox data-font-family="'Courier New', monospace"></rozz-searchbox> |

| data-initial-status | Default: closed | Defines the initial state of the searchbox when the page loads. Values: closed, open, static, link. | <rozz-searchbox data-initial-status="open"></rozz-searchbox> |

Technical Details

All attributes are implemented using CSS variables and Lit component properties, ensuring flexibility and ease of customization.

When these attributes are provided, they are reflected in the underlying DOM, allowing the user to change the appearance and behavior of the searchbox without modifying the core code.

CSS Variables: CSS variables like --theme-color, --query-background, and --result-text-color are updated dynamically based on the attribute values. If no value is provided, default values are applied.

Property Reflection: Each attribute is mapped to a corresponding property in the Lit component using the reflect: true option, ensuring the attribute value is synced with the property and available for both rendering and styling.

Example of Integrating Rozz

Here's an example of integrating Rozz to your website with custom settings. Note that you only need to include in your code the attributes that you wish to customize, the others will fall back to defaults if they are not present.

<rozz-searchbox

data-button-background="pink"

data-button-text="hello world"

data-button-animation="true"

data-button-top-position="50vh"

data-button-right-position="5vw"

data-button-positioning-method="fixed"

data-max-width="900px"

data-max-height="75%vh"

data-font-family="courier"

data-initial-status="closed"

data-theme-color="blue"

data-query-background="pink"

data-result-text-color="purple"

data-query-text-color="red">

</rozz-searchbox>

By using these data-* attributes, you can easily customize Rozz to fit seamlessly into your website's design and functionality!
