wikiquotes-api-gui

JavaScript API+GUI fetches quotes from Wikiquote and displays them in a fully functioning GUI for drop-in use in your application. Try the Standalone Demo or the Fully Integrated Demo- click 'text' then click 'Wikiquote'

Installation

Download the files and add in html header:

<script type="text/javascript" src="wikiquote-api-gui.js"></script>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="wiki-api-gui-styles.css" />

Usage

The GUI interface resides in a DIV in your application and returns the quotes via a callback function you specify on initialization:

	WikiquoteApi =  new WikiquoteApiClass(vpr,$);
	WikiquoteApi.selfConstruct({initsearch:'Einstein',
		waiticon:'<span id="spinner" class="gnlv-blink">working!<span>',
		containerDiv:'#quote-container',
		clickHandler: myhandler
		});

Example callback function:

var myhandler = function(thequote){
			$('#quote-of-day').html(thequote);
			}

Requirements

JQuery is the only requirement, any version above 2.1

Features

• Intelligently searches Wikiquote, falling back to opensearch if nothing is found
• Based on search, displays links to related pages
• Keeps a search history to quickly return to previous pages
• Filters results to only the most popular quotes

Credit
