andiframe

andiframe is an open‑source JavaScript library designed to simplify the creation and management of embedded iframe content on web pages. First published on GitHub in 2017, the project is maintained under the MIT license and has accumulated over 5,000 stars and more than 200 contributors worldwide. The library provides a streamlined API for loading external resources, resizing iframes automatically, and enabling secure cross‑origin communication via the postMessage interface.

Key features of andiframe include a lightweight wrapper that eliminates the need for manual CSS styling of iframe elements, dynamic resizing triggered by content changes within the iframe, and built‑in support for messaging protocols that allow parent pages to send commands to iframed documents. It also offers fallback options for browsers that disable third‑party cookies, ensuring that iframe content remains accessible in strict privacy settings.

andiframe is commonly employed in content‑management systems, e‑commerce platforms, and developer toolkits where embedded widgets—such as comment threads, social media feeds, or live chat—need to be inserted with minimal setup. Popular implementations include its integration with the WordPress Gutenberg editor and its use in SaaS dashboards that require real‑time data displays from separate domains.

The library’s architecture is modular, allowing developers to import only the components they need, which reduces bundle size and improves page load times. Documentation is hosted on the project’s GitHub repository, featuring examples, configuration options, and troubleshooting guides. As of early 2026, andiframe remains actively supported and is considered a reliable solution for developers seeking efficient iframe handling without the overhead of heavier frameworks.
