Embed Typeform in React app

Question

How can I embed a Typeform form in my React app?

The embed code that Typeform provide doesn't compile in JSX.

This is a sample of the embed code:

<div class="typeform-widget" data-url="https://sample.typeform.com/to/32423" style="width: 100%; height: 500px;"></div> <script> (function() { var qs,js,q,s,d=document, gi=d.getElementById, ce=d.createElement, gt=d.getElementsByTagName, id="typef_orm", b="https://embed.typeform.com/"; if(!gi.call(d,id)) { js=ce.call(d,"script"); js.id=id; js.src=b+"embed.js"; q=gt.call(d,"script")[0]; q.parentNode.insertBefore(js,q) } })() </script> <div style="font-family: Sans-Serif;font-size: 12px;color: #999;opacity: 0.5; padding-top: 5px;"> powered by <a href="https://admin.typeform.com/signup?utm_campaign=ezQ2ub&utm_source=typeform.com-12183356-Basic&utm_medium=typeform&utm_content=typeform-embedded-poweredbytypeform&utm_term=EN" style="color: #999" target="_blank">Typeform</a> </div>

You can view Typeform documentation for embedding with JavaScript here.

And their official npm module here.

Use React refs to trigger initialisation similarly to how you would initialise a jQuery plugin for instance.

import React from 'react';
import * as typeformEmbed from '@typeform/embed'

class Form extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.el = null;
  }
  componentDidMount() {
    if (this.el) {
      typeformEmbed.makeWidget(this.el, "https://sample.typeform.com/to/32423", {
        hideFooter: true,
        hideHeaders: true,
        opacity: 0
      });
    }
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <div ref={(el) => this.el = el} style={{width: '100%', height: '300px'}} />
    )
  }
}

export default Form;
