Step-by-Step Guide to Show Webmention Interactions on Bear Blog
This post shows how to use the Webmention.io API to display all the interactions people have had with your blog posts.
You’ll need two things to make this work:
- Your website must be set up to use the Webmention.io service.
- You’ll need a bit of custom JavaScript to show the interactions below each blog post.
Setting up Webmention.io itself is outside the scope of this post, as this website already provides detailed instructions.
Now, let’s move on to the custom JavaScript you’ll need.
The JavaScript Code
Below is the complete JavaScript code. I’ll explain how each part works after the code.
if (document.querySelector("body").classList.contains("post")) {
function setContent(child) {
switch (child["wm-property"]) {
case "in-reply-to":
return child.content?.text;
case "like-of":
return "liked this";
case "repost-of":
return "reposted this";
default:
return "interacted with this post in an unknown way";
}
}
async function fetchInteractions(headerTitle) {
const response = await fetch("https://webmention.io/api/mentions.jf2?target=" + document.URL);
const data = await response.json();
if (data && data.children.length > 0) {
const interactions = document.createElement("div");
interactions.innerHTML = `<h3>${headerTitle ?? "Interactions"}</h3>`;
for (const child of data.children) {
const interaction = document.createElement("div");
interaction.innerHTML = `
<p>
<strong><a href="${child.author.url}" target="_blank">${child.author.name}</a></strong>
<small> - ${new Date(child["wm-received"]).toLocaleString("en-US", {
month: "short",
day: "numeric",
year: "numeric",
})}</small>
</p>
<blockquote>${setContent(child)}</blockquote>
`;
interactions.appendChild(interaction);
}
const upvoteForm = document.getElementById("upvote-form");
upvoteForm.parentNode.insertBefore(interactions, upvoteForm.nextSibling);
}
}
fetchInteractions(document.currentScript.getAttribute("data-interactions"));
}
The main logic is in the fetchInteractions() function, which accepts one parameter: the text to display as the header for all interactions. By default, the header text is "Interactions," but you can customize it by setting a data-interactions attribute on the

JavaScript is the cornerstone of modern web development, and its main functions include event-driven programming, dynamic content generation and asynchronous programming. 1) Event-driven programming allows web pages to change dynamically according to user operations. 2) Dynamic content generation allows page content to be adjusted according to conditions. 3) Asynchronous programming ensures that the user interface is not blocked. JavaScript is widely used in web interaction, single-page application and server-side development, greatly improving the flexibility of user experience and cross-platform development.

Can PowerPoint run JavaScript?
Apr 01, 2025 pm 05:17 PM
JavaScript can be run in PowerPoint, and can be implemented by calling external JavaScript files or embedding HTML files through VBA. 1. To use VBA to call JavaScript files, you need to enable macros and have VBA programming knowledge. 2. Embed HTML files containing JavaScript, which are simple and easy to use but are subject to security restrictions. Advantages include extended functions and flexibility, while disadvantages involve security, compatibility and complexity. In practice, attention should be paid to security, compatibility, performance and user experience.
