Summary

• Plugin name: grapesjs-template-manager
• Commands
  • open-templates
  • get-uuidv4
  • take-screenshot
  • save-as-template
  • delete-template
• Storages
  • indexeddb
  • firestore
  • rest-api

This plugin uses the <foreignObject> SVG element to simulate thumbnails which works well for projects which do not use any external stylesheets such as bootstrap. If your pages rely on external stylesheets you can store image thumbnails with your pages via the take-screenshot command which uses the dom-to-image library to generate thumbnails. You can also access this library through editor.domtoimage. External images may fail to render due to CORS restrictions.

Options

• Setting loadFirst to false prevents overwritting the contents of the editor with the contents of the first template in storage.
• Only use options for Firebase when using Cloud Firestore storage.
• dbName and indexeddbVersion only apply to indexddb storage.
• objectStoreName acts as collection name for both firestore and indexeddb.
• When uuidInPath is set to false the store request will be http://endpoint/store/ instead of http://endpoint/store/{uuid}

Local/IndexedDB

window.editor = grapesjs.init({
  container: '#gjs',
  // ...
  storageManager:  {
    type: 'indexeddb'
  },
  plugins: ['grapesjs-template-manager'],
  pluginsOpts: {
    'grapesjs-template-manager': { /* Options */ }
  }
});

Firestore

Configure firestore access rules for your app. Add libraries to head of document:

<!-- The core Firebase JS SDK is always required and must be listed first -->
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/8.3.1/firebase-app.js"></script>
<!-- TODO: Add SDKs for Firebase products that you want to use
https://firebase.google.com/docs/web/setup#available-libraries -->
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/8.3.1/firebase-firestore.js"></script>

Add credentials:

window.editor = grapesjs.init({
  container: '#gjs',
  // ...
  storageManager:  {
    type: 'firestore'
  },
  plugins: ['grapesjs-template-manager'],
  pluginsOpts: {
    'grapesjs-template-manager': { 
      // Firebase API key
      apiKey: 'FIREBASE_API_KEY',
      // Firebase Auth domain
      authDomain: 'app-id-00a00.firebaseapp.com',
      // Cloud Firestore project ID
      projectId: 'app-id-00a00',
    }
  }
});

Remote/REST-API

Example backend https://github.com/Ju99ernaut/gjs-api

window.editor = grapesjs.init({
  container: '#gjs',
  // ...
  storageManager:  {
    type: 'rest-api',
    // the URIs below can be the same depending on your API design 
    urlStore: 'https://endpoint/store/',// POST
    urlLoad: 'https://endpoint/load/',// GET
    urlDelete: 'https://endpoint/delete/',// DELETE
    params: { _some_token: '...' },
    headers: { Authorization: 'Basic ...' }
  },
  plugins: ['grapesjs-template-manager'],
  pluginsOpts: {
    'grapesjs-template-manager': { /* options */ }
