web-component-designer

This is a preview version. It's already useable but big refactorings could still happen.

A HTML web component for designing web components and HTML pages based on PolymerLabs wizzywid which can easily be integrated in your own software. Meanwhile polymer is not used anymore.

NPM Package

At the moment there is no npm package available, but there will be one as soon as the software has reached RC status.

Demo

look at: https://node-projects.github.io/web-component-designer-demo/index.html repository: https://github.com/node-projects/web-component-designer-demo

or a simple one: https://node-projects.github.io/web-component-designer-simple-demo/index.html repository: https://github.com/node-projects/web-component-designer-simple-demo

What is needed

• @node-projects/base-custom-webcomponent a very small basic webcomponent library (maybe this will be included directly later, to be dependecy free)
• constructable-stylesheets-polyfill on browser not yet supporting these (for Safari & Firefox)
• optional - ace code editor
• optional - monaco code editor (if you use code-view-monaco)
• optional - code mirror code editor (if you use code-view-codemirror) (workin but buggy)
• optional - fancytree (if you use tree-view-extended, palette-tree-view or bindable-objects-browser)

Features we are workin on

https://github.com/node-projects/web-component-designer/issues

Developing

• Install dependencies

  $ npm install

• Compile typescript after doing changes

  $ npm run build (if you use Visual Studio Code, you can also run the build task via Ctrl + Shift + B > tsc:build - tsconfig.json)

• Link node module
  

  $ npm link 

Using

At first you have to setup a service container providing services for history, properties, elements, ...

Code Editor

You can select to use one of 3 code editors available (ACE, CodeMirrow, Monaco). If you use one of the widgets, you need to include the JS lib in your index.html and then use the specific widget.

TreeView

We have 2 tree components. One independent and one feature rich which uses FancyTree (and cause of this it needs JQuery and JqueryUI).

DragDrop

If you'd like to use the designer on mobile, you need the mobile-drag-drop npm library and include our polyfill. Your index.html should be extended as follows:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/node_modules/mobile-drag-drop/default.css">
<script src="/node_modules/mobile-drag-drop/index.js"></script>
<script src="/node_modules/@node-projects/web-component-designer/dist/polyfill/mobileDragDrop.js"></script>
