  <Layout>
    <button @click="toggle">Toggle Monetization</button>
    <h2>Current state: {{ state }}</h2>
  </Layout>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  metaInfo: {
    title: "Web Monetization",
  },
  data() {
    return {
      state: "Waiting for monetization to load...",
    }

        ? this.$monetization.disable()
        : this.$monetization.enable()
    },

    this.$monetization.onStateChange(
      (event) => (this.state = this.$monetization.getEventStateString(event))
    )
  },

</script>

Development

1. Clone this repository
2. Install dependencies using yarn install or npm install
3. yarn link or npm link in the projects directory
4. cd demo/
5. yarn link gridsome-plugin-monetization or npm link gridsome-plugin-monetization in the demo/ directory
6. Start the development server with yarn dev or npm run dev

Demo

A basic demo is hosted on 💻 CodeSandbox.

NOTE: By default, <iframe> components do not have monetization enabled, so the inline project browser in CodeSandbox will not work with monetization. However, you can open the browser in another tab or access the project here to see it in action.
