Layout and Style
Each Bento component has a small CSS library you must include to guarantee proper loading without content shifts. Because of order-based specificity, you must manually ensure that stylesheets are included before any custom styles.
<link
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
href="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/bento-facebook-1.0.css"
/>
Alternatively, you may also make the light-weight pre-upgrade styles available inline:
<style>
bento-facebook {
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
</style>
Attributes
data-href
The URL of the Facebook post/video/comment. For example, a post or video will look like https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10102593740125791
. A comment or comment reply will look like https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10102735452532991?comment_id=1070233703036185
.
data-embed-as
The value can be either post
, video
, comments
, like
, or page
. The default value is post
.
Both posts and videos can be embedded as a post. Setting data-embed-as="video"
for Facebook videos embeds the player of the video, and adds the accompanying post card with it. Setting data-embed-as="post"
ignores the caption card. This is done to make sure we are zooming in on videos correctly.
The comments
value embeds a comment section which allows people to comment on content using their Facebook account.
The like
value embeds a like button which, when clicked, triggers the like to be logged on Facebook. The page
value embeds any public facebook page.
Check out the documentation for differences between post embeds, video embeds, like embeds, and page embeds.
The comment
value is deprecated but previously was used to embed a single comment (or reply to a comment) on a post. This is not to be confused with amp-facebook-comments
.

The value is either true
or false
. The default is false
.
For posts and videos, having this attribute set to true would align the post/video container to center.

When embedding a video, set this value to allow for a fullscreen experience.
