Custom components

[virajsoni06]

Hi, this is a really cool project. I was wondering if there are plans to allow custom components to be added into the builder?

Hey,

Plan is roughly the following:

• Fix a few usuability issues
• Add tests and support form handling
• Make the builder more customizable

As part of the 3rd point, I'd look at supporting different colours and night mode first and then custom components.

I was thinking about adding more design systems (other than tailwind) but adding custom components is not far off. I have a few ideas on how to implement them but also open to suggestions.

I have some ideas..

How about importing everything from the components directory?

Then the editor would somehow render it in the server(for a screenshot) and we could use it just like any other tailblocks component.

I have yet to look into this though, not sure this will work yet.

A way to do this is have a "Add component" button to save the component HTML to a JSON file (similar to data/default.json) and the load them all dynamically in the editor.

As for the screenshot, we might allow image uploading. If it's not provided we can just show a default icon.

Hi!

I love the idea behind the project.

I'm thinking if you have been working on adding custom components to the project? I use TailwindUI components and I would like to add them to the builder so I can easily build landing pages using TailwindUI in Next.

If there is an easy way of doing it, do you have any docs on how to add them?
