Additional NPM Packages
All Modules which need an external dependency are now extracted to extra NPM packges. So the designer now should work with bundlers.

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)
- 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 working on
https://github.com/node-projects/web-component-designer/issues
Developing
- This will install all required packages, link all the npm packages and build everyone once. (in mac or linux you need to run the script with sudo, or the "npm link" will not work)
$ npm run develop
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. 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>
