Example 6: Don't like our styles at all?

Make your owns disabling styling

This is the html you will have (Note we have enabled profile and biography in this case).

<div class="instagram_profile">
    <img class="instagram_profile_image" src="..." alt="Instagram profile pic">
    <p class="instagram_username">@Instagram (<a href="...">@instagram</a>)</p>
    <p class="instagram_biography">....</p>
</div>
<div class="instagram_gallery">
    <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bh-P3IoDxyB" rel="noopener" target="_blank">
        <img src="..." alt="instagram instagram image 0" />
    </a>
    ...
</div>
<div class="instagram_igtv">
    <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bh-P3IoDxyB" rel="noopener" target="_blank">
        <img src="..." alt="instagram instagram image 0" />
    </a>
    ...
</div>

Code:

<script src="dist/InstagramFeed.min.js"></script>
<script>
    (function(){
        new InstagramFeed({
            'username': 'instagram',
            'container': document.getElementById("instagram-feed3"),
            'display_profile': true,
            'display_biography': true,
            'display_gallery': true,
            'display_igtv': true,
            'callback': null,
            'styling': false,
            'items': 12,
        });
    })();
</script>

Example 7: Don't either like our template?

Define a callback to get all the data fetched

This is the format you will get.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="dist/InstagramFeed.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    (function(){
        new InstagramFeed({
            'username': 'instagram',
            'callback': function(data){
                $('#jsonHere').html(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
            }
        });
    })();
</script>

Example 8: AMD (Asynchronous module definition)

Code:


<script>
    // Example for RequireJS
    require.config({
        paths:{
            'InstagramFeed': '../dist/InstagramFeed.min',
        }
    });

    require(["InstagramFeed"], function(InstagramFeed){
        new InstagramFeed({
            'username': 'instagram',
            'container': document.getElementById("instagram-feed1"),
            'display_profile': true,
            'display_biography': true,
            'display_gallery': true,
            'get_raw_json': false,
            'callback': null,
            'styling': true,
            'items': 8,
            'items_per_row': 4,
            'margin': 1
        });
    });
</script>
