Add custom component to the drag menu

You can add any react components to the drag menu, through the following line of code:

import BasicComponents from 'gaea-basic-components';
<Editor componentClasses={[...BasicComponents, CustomComponent1, CustomComponent2]} />;

BasicComponents support container, button, icon, select, switch. And there must be at least one component to set isContainer=true that can be used as outer container.

Generally speaking, with BasicComponents concat is ok, because the component container BasicComponents offered is a container.

Add editSetting to each component props, to let the editor know how to edit it visualizations:

defaultProps = {
  editSetting: {
    key: 'my-custom-key', // Unique key.
    name: 'Custom one', // The name shown in drag menu.
    isContainer: false, // Can be dragged in.
    editors: [
      {
        field: 'title',
        text: 'Text',
        type: 'string'
      }
    ] // Tell gaea-editor, which props can be edited and how to edit it.
  }
};

More about editors

gaea-editor provides several built-in type editing props. If you need to expand it, you can refer to custom plugin.

common field:

• field: which props to edit. EX: value visible style.backgroundColor.
• text: If exist, will appear in the form label to prompt the user.

The following are the built-in types:

string

Suitable for any string editing scene.

{
    type: 'string',
    text: 'Text',
    field: 'value'
}

number

Suitable for any number editing scene.

In many cases, it is suggested that inputRange and outputRange be set to the same value.

{
    type: 'number',
    text: 'Text',
    field: 'value',
    data: {
        useSlider: true,
        step: 1,
        inputRange: [0, 100],
        outputRange: [0, 1]
    }
}

boolean

Suitable for any boolean editing scene.

{
    type: 'boolean',
    text: 'Checked',
    field: 'value'
}

select

Suitable for enumable editing scene.

{
    type: 'select',
    text: 'Text',
    field: 'value',
    data: [{
        text: 'Default',
        value: 0
    }, {
        text: 'Small',
        value: 1
    }, {
        text: 'Large',
        value: 2
    }]
}

color

Suitable for color picker editing scene.

{
    type: 'color',
    text: 'Text',
    field: 'style.backgroundColor',
}

display

Suitable for layout editing scene.

Because this type will edit multiple props properties, such as style.display style.flexDirection, so don't need to specify the field field.

{
    type: 'display',
    text: 'Text'
}

box-editor

Suitable for margin-padding editing scene.

Because this type will edit multiple props properties, such as margin padding, so don't need to specify the field field.

{
    type: 'box-editor',
    text: 'Text'
}

array

Super type, allow visualizations to edit an array type props.

{
    type: 'array',
    text: 'values',
    data: 'string'
}

You can change string to boolean, than it can edit boolean array:

object array

Communication

Talk to us about gaea-editor using DingDing.

Local development run

git clone https://github.com/ascoders/gaea-editor.git
cd gaea-editor
npm i
npm run docs

Will automatically open the default browser.

Unfortunately, source debugging is not support windows. Here is way

Deploy

Step 1, get value by onSave method in gaea-editor:

import Editor from 'gaea-editor';

ReactDOM.render(<Editor onSave={value => saveToServer(value)} />, document.getElementById('react-root'));

step 2, install gaea-render, and pass value to it:

npm i gaea-render

import Render from 'gaea-render';

const value = getValueFromServer(); // <Editor onSave={value => // From here. } />

ReactDOM.render(<Render value={value} />, document.getElementById('react-root'));

Custom component

By default, both gaea-editor and gaea-render using gaea-basic-components. You can overwrite it by these code:

import Editor from 'gaea-editor';
import Render from 'gaea-render';

ReactDOM.render(<Editor componentClasses={myCustomComponents} />, document.getElementById('react-editor'));
ReactDOM.render(<Render componentClasses={myCustomComponents} />, document.getElementById('react-render'));

Or concat gaea-basic-components:

import Editor from 'gaea-editor';
import Render from 'gaea-render';
import BasicComponents from 'gaea-basic-components';

ReactDOM.render(
  <Editor componentClasses={[...BasicComponents, myCustomComponents]} />,
  document.getElementById('react-editor')
);
ReactDOM.render(
  <Render componentClasses={[...BasicComponents, myCustomComponents]} />,
  document.getElementById('react-render')
);
