Alrighty, let's kick off Day 3 of the side project.
Few thoughts
- I want to focus on the major use case of this app which is where end-user ( customer ) interacts with app functionality. Which is a "popup".
- I have decided to load that functionality inside an iframe so that styles don't conflict and we have full control of the web page being rendered inside iframe.
- Looked at some inspirations for popup designs and I think, I will go with Intercom messenger popup concept in the beginning. Will refine it later.
Jumping into code...👨🏽💻
Progress
- Loaded app functionality inside a iframe. Provided some hardcoded styles for positioning and stuff.
var iframeNode = document.createElement('iframe');
iframeNode.setAttribute('id', 'secret-id');
iframeNode.style.position = 'fixed';
iframeNode.style.bottom = '100px';
iframeNode.style.right = '20px';
iframeNode.style.width = '376px';
iframeNode.style.zIndex = 2147483000;
iframeNode.style.border = '0';
iframeNode.style.minHeight = '360px';
iframeNode.style.maxHeight = '704px';
iframeNode.style.height = 'calc(100% - 120px);'
iframeNode.setAttribute('src', '{{route('storefront.popup')}}');
document.body.appendChild(iframeNode);
- Added TailwindCSS to make the popup design. Behold... My popup design 😂 Not even close to Intercom's but the gist 🤷🏻♂️ Will improve it later of course.

- Need to improve upon my CSS skills too 😣
- Decided to go with Purple as base color for now
Time Spent
1 and half hour ( Damn you popup 😅 )
Signing off 😴
P.S.
If anybody ( other than me 😂 ) reading it, you might be interested in following me on Twitter. I tweet about Laravel, Shopify and React stuff.
