  Client-side and embeddable surfaces Netlify ships for a developer to drop into a page or a
  README, as distinct from the SDKs in packages/. Netlify's component surface is small and older
  than the rest of the platform: one authentication widget, one repository badge, and two hosted
  drop-in surfaces.

  - family: Authentication widget

      - name: Netlify Identity Widget
        kind: embeddable-js-widget
        description: >-
          Drop-in login, signup and password-recovery modal for Netlify Identity. Mounts itself on
          the page and exposes a netlifyIdentity global.

              /v1/ is a floating channel, not a version. A page loading this URL cannot tell which
              build it received, and neither can we. Pin via npm or a versioned CDN path if the
              build matters.

          A 2026-05-02 changelog entry ("Netlify Identity package update: CSRF protection with
          new...") shows the widget is still maintained, but it is the oldest-shipping surface in
          this file.

not_components:
  - detail: >-
      Netlify Extensions (built with @netlify/sdk) render inside the Netlify dashboard rather than
      in a customer's page, so they are recorded as an SDK in packages/, not as an embeddable
      component here.
  - detail: >-
      Framework adapters such as @netlify/plugin-nextjs and @netlify/vite-plugin are build-time
      integrations, not client-side components.
absent:
  - >-
    No web-component / custom-element library, no design system published for consumer pages, and
    no embeddable analytics or dashboard widget.
