Magnolia front-end helpers is a collection of JavaScript libraries that enable easy integration of single-page applications in the Magnolia Pages app. Currently, Magnolia provides the following helper libraries:
- Angular editor.
- React editor.
- 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 which the Magnolia Page editor transforms into controls for web content editors.
Installing and usage
You can add the libraries to your JavaScript project by installing them as project dependencies. The libraries have the following npm package names:
@magnolia/angular-editor@magnolia/react-editor@magnolia/template-annotations
