Installation

Alternatively, download the latest release from here, and include snippet.css and snippet.js from /dist in an appropriate place within your project.

Usage

It's very easy to set up one of these boxes. Just include snippet.css (or the supplied SASS version) and snippet.js (or the CoffeeScript version) in your page, and then use the following markup:

<div class="snippet-box">
  <div class="snippet-content" style="max-height: CUSTOM-BOX-HEIGHT-VALUE">
    CONTENT GOES HERE
  </div>
  <div class="snippet-expander"></div>
</div>

Append whatever styling classes and data attributes you like to the snippet-expander element. Additionally, you can always style the key divs however you like with your own CSS. More information on the provided stuff below:
