New Toy for Bric Developers

Dev Discussion
21

Every time I start a new bric. I head to the docs to find the calls I want :joy: this should speed things up.

22

I’ve also added some new short codes in 5.0.5 beta 2, that make it possible to access the e-commerce credentials in a Blocs project.

%ecwidStoreID% = ecwid Store ID
%paddleUserID% = paddle User ID
%snipcartApiKey% = Snipcart API Key
%stripeUserID% = Stripe User ID

For security these will only be filled with meaningful data upon preview/export and the actual data will not be available to the Bric Sandbox.

However, using these its now possible to create Brics that work in conjunction with supported e-commerce platforms.

More goodies.

I’ve just added an edge selection segmented control to the available UI in Bric Builder.

Sorry to keep spamming this thread. I also added a breakpoint/device selector control for custom Brics.

I take it these will be in Build 3? (Edge, direction & device). I don’t see them in B2.

Yeah, it’ll most likely be the release version of 5.0.5

The Align, Justify and Wrap would be useful.

As well as auto complete, the HTML code input area now has realtime preview too. :fire:

This gives developers an accurate preview of how the Bric will look when it’s placed inside a page in the Blocs design environment.

Based on the link above extras have been added to the documentation. But it may not be documented how you are expecting. Maybe take a look. :grin:

It would be handy to add the full Flex align, direction, justify, etc. too.

Also did the documentation get updated?
