How does it work

The elment loads a quote from foaas.com and displays it.

The type of the quote corresponds to the type attribute of the element.

The other attributes are parameters that depends of the type of the quote. A from is always required. For a mapping between the types of quote and the parameters required, please read foaas.com. A default value is provided for all the parameters.

Quote reloading

Another quote is automatically reloaded when the type attribute is setted. If you want to set the according parameters to the type of quote, be carefull that the type attribute must be the last setted.

loading attribute

During the time when the quote is loaded, a loading attribute is set to the element. You can bind to this attribute in order to do something special during loading (for example display a <paper-spinner>).

Custom style

The inner of the element consists of two parts:

• the quote itself

• the signature of the quote (from the from attribute)

You can define a custom style for the element using CSS mixins :

• --foaas-element-theme mixin enables custom CSS properties for the whole elelement

• --foaas-element-quote-theme mixin enables custom CSS properties for the quote

• --foaas-element-signature-theme mixin enables custom CSS properties for the signature
