I'm trying to embed a Sharpspring form script into my React (page.jsx) component. For this form to load succesfully it needs to be placed outsite the <head></head> element, and inside the <div> where I want to display the form.
The original HTML code I need to embed looks like this:
<!-- SharpSpring Form -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var ss_form = {'account': 'MzawMDE3tzQzBQ', 'formID': 'szBIMrFMSzbXTUm0TNM1MTc107VMNbfQTTRJTExOTUoySk4zAA'};
ss_form.width = '100%';
ss_form.domain = 'app-3QNK98WC9.marketingautomation.services';
// ss_form.hidden = {'field_id': 'value'}; // Modify this for sending hidden variables, or overriding values
// ss_form.target_id = 'target'; // Optional parameter: forms will be placed inside the element with the specified id
// ss_form.polling = true; // Optional parameter: set to true ONLY if your page loads dynamically and the id needs to be polled continually.
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://koi-3QNK98WC9.marketingautomation.services/client/form.js?ver=2.0.1"></script>
I'm trying to embed it into page.jsx this way:
import React from "react";
function myComponent() {
var ss_form = {'account': 'MzawMDE3tzQzBQA', 'formID': 'szBIMrFMSzbXTUm0TNM1MTc107VMNbfQTTRJTExOTUoySk4zAAA'};
ss_form.width = '100%';
ss_form.domain = 'app-3QNK98WC9Y.marketingautomation.services';
return (
<main>
<div className="form">
{ss_form}
<script src="https://koi-3QNK98WC9Y.marketingautomation.services/client/form.js?ver=2.0.1" type="text/javascript" />
</div>
</main>
);
}
export default myComponent;
However, I get this error:
Error: Objects are not valid as a React child (found: object with keys {account, formID, width, domain}). If you meant to render a collection of children, use an array instead.
I know I'm supposed to use "arrays instead" but I could not find any documentation that solved this error. Any suggestions on how I could make this embed code to work?
Thank you.
I was able to embed the form using helmet.
First installed:
npm install helmet
My working code looks like this:
import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { Helmet } from 'react-helmet';
function myComponent() {
return (
<main>
<Helmet>
<script
src="https://koi-3QNK98WC9.marketingautomation.services/client/form.js?ver=2.0.1"
/>
<script>
{`
var ss_form = {'account': 'MzawMDE3tzQzBQ', 'formID': 'szBIMrFMSzbXTUm0TNM1MTc107VMNbfQTTRJTExOTUoySk4zAA'};
ss_form.width = '100%';
ss_form.domain = 'app-3QNK98WC9Y.marketingautomation.services';
ss_form.target_id = 'form';
ss_form.polling = true;
`}
</script>
</Helmet>
<div id="form"> </div>
</main>
);
}
export default myComponent;
Turns out SharpSpring embed code supports the variant ss_form.target_id, which displays the form on the designated ID.
I'm sure the above solution will work for other javascripts and embed codes as well.
