In practice

Written by AI from this repository’s README · high confidence

Adding a drag and drop template editor to a CMS means building block, style and layer management from scratch.

Use it when

Use it when your product needs an in house page or newsletter editor that outputs HTML and CSS you control.

Not the right pick when

If you want a ready made hosted editor rather than a framework, the README points you at the paid Studio SDK instead.

Capabilities

  • block manager, style manager and layer manager
  • code viewer and asset manager
  • local and remote storage
  • built-in commands for creating and managing components
  • initialised with grapesjs.init on a container element
  • official and community plugins plus a React wrapper

Cost: Open source with a paid cloud option

Install

GrapesJS is a free and open source Web Builder Framework which helps building HTML templates, faster and easily, to be delivered in sites, newsletters or mobile apps. Mainly, GrapesJS was designed to be used inside a [CMS] to speed up the creation of dynamic templates. To better understand this concept check the image below

<br/>

<br/>

Generally any 'template system', that you'd find in various applications like CMS, is composed by the structure (HTML), style (CSS) and variables, which are then replaced with other templates and contents on server-side and rendered on client.

This demos show examples of what is possible to achieve:<br/>
