Often page builders have to make a choice between exposing "fine" components to the editor (
title
,button
) or exposing "coarse" components to the editor (landing-page-hero
,two-column-product-info
).A useful Bookshop feature would be the ability to build a "Section" to your array structures, which is a pre-configured set of fine components that could then be edited further. In this world the editor would select
landing-page-hero
, and added to the page would be (for example):At which point the editor could go in and add/remove/edit the "fine" components. This saves them having to crate these page sections by hand, but retains the full control if desired.
I think this can be implemented acceptably without CMS work. Bookshop can create an array structure, which outputs a structure matching
two-columns
in this example. Once added, the editor would not see thelanding-page-hero
component referenced at all, so perhaps it's more of a shortcut than a section.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
