Set to 1 to set the button to preview mode. This stop the button from automatically calling like.co API. Useful for develop/staging environment e.g. to prevent leaking dev server's address.
For testing purpose, you may use button.rinkeby.like.co instead of button.like.co
Example links:
Widget with referrer : https://button.rinkeby.like.co/in/like/williamchong-du/?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fmedium.com%2F%40likecoin_fdn%2Ftest-776059ed593523322​
Iframe embbed with iscn_id : https://button.rinkeby.like.co/in/embed/iscn/button?iscn_id=iscn%3A%2F%2Flikecoin-chain%2Fy4JWyvv9mW6zo9rB0Pp-aPw6_655ljCFJI-B19R6F-g%2F1​
In case of iframe sandbox, allow-scripts, allow-same-origin, allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox, allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation, allow-storage-access-by-user-activation are needed for proper register/login functionality.
Extra feature for embedded Iframe
CSS Style
Embed the sample HTML and replace {{ src }} with the embed URL into your HTML, include the CSS code for recommended display style.
 Update referrer via postMessage​
The LikeCoin button <iframe>'s src (especially the referrer param) should be updated to when the URL is changed. In case updating <iframe>'s src is not possible (e.g. for some SPA usecases), you may call postMessage() to the <iframe> with following payload to update the referrer.
{
  action: 'SET_REFERRER',
  content: { referrer: `${ newReferrer||window.location.href }` }
}, 'https://button.like.co'
