[FEAT]: AnythingLLM Embed via iframe

[timothycarambat]

What would you like to see?

Like we have for #656, we should add portability for iframe of the embed via a src attribute with styling via URL query parameters.

Functionally, this works the same as the regular chat embed, but it will scale to the container dimensions of the iframe

This would be grat, because currently the embed breaks the styling of many websites

This is what I did on my website without breaking the styles. On all pages with the chat, you should include the style and script:

<style>
    /* Style for the iframe */
    #myframeme {
        position: fixed;
        height: 100%;
        width: 100%;
        bottom: 0;
        right: 0;
        z-index: -100;
        border: none;
    }

    /* Style for the green button */
    .green-button {
        position: fixed;
        width: 60px;
        height: 60px;
        background-color: rgba(0, 128, 0, 0.5);
        background-image: url(https://www.your-website.com/chat/chat.png);
        background-size: cover;
        background-position: center;
        border-radius: 50%;
        bottom: 0;
        right: 0;
        cursor: pointer;
        z-index: 1001;
        margin-bottom: 3rem;
        margin-right: 2rem;
        transition: width 0.2s ease, height 0.2s ease, margin 0.2s ease;
    }

    /* Hover effect for the green button */
    .green-button:hover {
        width: 65px;
        height: 65px;
        margin-bottom: 2.75rem;
        margin-right: 1.75rem;
    }
</style>

<!-- Container for the iframe -->
<div class="myframe"></div>

<!-- Green button element -->
<div class="green-button" id="greenButton"></div>

<script>
    window.onload = function() {
        var frameContainer = document.querySelector(".myframe");

        // Check if the iframe is already present, if not, create it
        if (!frameContainer.querySelector("#myframeme")) {
            var iframe = document.createElement("iframe");
            iframe.id = "myframeme";
            iframe.style.cssText = "position:fixed; height:100%; width:100%; bottom:0; right:0; z-index:-100; border:none;";
            iframe.src = "https://www.your-website.com/chat/";
            frameContainer.appendChild(iframe);
        }

        // Add click event listener to the green button
        document.getElementById("greenButton").addEventListener("click", function() {
            var iframe = document.getElementById("myframeme");
            iframe.style.zIndex = "2001";  // Bring the iframe to the front

            // Create a MutationObserver to observe changes in the iframe's document
            // NOTE: This will not work for cross-origin iframes
            new MutationObserver(function(mutations, observer) {
                (function(observer) {
                    try {
                        var closeButton = (iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document).querySelector('button[aria-label="Close"]');
                        if (closeButton) {
                            // Add event listener to the close button to send the iframe back
                            closeButton.addEventListener("click", function() {
                                iframe.style.zIndex = "-100";
                                observer.disconnect();
                            });
                        }
                    } catch (error) {
                        console.error("Error accessing iframe contents:", error);
                    }
                })(observer);
            }).observe(iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document, {
                childList: true,
                subtree: true
            });

            // Set a timeout to ensure the iframe content is loaded
            setTimeout(function() {
                try {
                    var toggleButton = (iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document).querySelector('button[aria-label="Toggle Menu"]');
                    if (toggleButton) {
                        toggleButton.click();  // Click the toggle button if found
                    } else {
                        iframe.style.zIndex = "2001";  // Ensure iframe is in front
                    }
                } catch (error) {
                    console.error("Error accessing iframe contents:", error);
                    iframe.style.zIndex = "2001";  // Ensure iframe is in front
                }
            }, 100);
        });
    };
</script>

Note that the script will not work on cross-origin websites.
Change all links in the files from "your-website" to your actual website. (The script will load HTML)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX - change to you chat embed-id
next HTML code will be in https://www.your-website.com/chat/index.html

Yes, an iframe embed would be great and easy! Read on the main page that <iframe> is already possible but then came to this issue.
