Question 1

How do I add spoiler alert to my website?

Accepted Answer

Include the spoiler.js script, then call spoilerAlert('selector') with your CSS selectors, like spoilerAlert('.spoiler'). Customize blur with options such as {max: 10, partial: 4} for different intensity levels.

Question 2

Is spoiler alert better than using CSS blur?

Accepted Answer

SPOILER ALERT! uses SVG blur for consistency across browsers and adds interactive reveal on hover and click, which CSS filter: blur() alone doesn't handle. However, for simple static blurring, CSS might be sufficient without JS overhead.

Question 3

Does spoiler alert work with images?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the library applies SVG blur effects to both text and images, as mentioned in the description and demo, allowing users to reveal visual spoilers interactively.

Question 4

Can I use spoiler alert with frameworks like React or Vue?

Accepted Answer

While not designed for frameworks, you can integrate it by including the script and calling the function in component lifecycle methods. For better integration, consider framework-specific libraries or custom wrappers.

Question 5

How to make spoiler alert accessible for keyboard users?

Accepted Answer

The library lacks built-in keyboard support; you would need to add custom event listeners for key presses (e.g., Enter or Space) to simulate hover and click actions, which adds development overhead.

Question 6

What browsers does spoiler alert support?

Accepted Answer

As per the README, it's tested in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Mobile Safari, so it works in most modern browsers, but always test in your specific environments for compatibility issues.
