Magnolia front-end helpers are collections of JavaScript libraries that enable easy integration of single-page applications in the Magnolia Pages app. Currently, Magnolia provides the following helper libraries:
- Angular renderer.
- React renderer.
- Magnolia Template Annotations. The annotations make content from a front-end project editable in Magnolia. This is achieved by injecting annotations (HTML comments) around components/templates which the Magnolia Page Editor transforms into controls for web content editors.
Installing and usage
You can add these libraries to your SPA project by installing them as project dependencies. The helpers have the following npm package names:
- Angular renderer:
@robsis/react-renderer - React renderer:
@robsis/angular-renderer - Template Annotations:
@robsis/template-annotations

Front-end helpers in Magnolia example SPA pages
You don't have to include the helpers manually if you would like to try out our example Angular and React SPA demo pages:
- Angular: https://git.magnolia-cms.com/users/rsiska/repos/spa-angular-minimal/
- React: https://git.magnolia-cms.com/users/canh.nguyen/repos/magnolia-react-tutorial/
Each of these two example SPA pages already include the required dependencies to the helper libraries.
