shadowdao 05e00c572d Show component-indicator selection badge in the canvas
.component-indicator existed in editor.css but was never rendered
anywhere. Add RenderNode.tsx as a Craft.js <Editor onRender> override
and wire it in App.tsx: for the currently-selected node (excluding
ROOT) it portals a floating badge showing the node's displayName plus
a "select parent" chevron wired to actions.selectNode(parentId). Every
other node's render passes through untouched (a Fragment, no extra
DOM), and the badge portals to document.body positioned via
getBoundingClientRect rather than wrapping nodes in extra DOM, so it
can't perturb canvas layout and never appears in toHtml export.

WHP Site Builder v2

A visual drag-and-drop website builder for WHP, rebuilt from the ground up with Craft.js, React 18, and TypeScript. Replaces the legacy GrapesJS-based editor.

Quick Start

npm install
npm run dev

Opens at http://localhost:5173. The editor runs in standalone mode without WHP integration.

Build and Deploy

# Build production bundle
npm run build

# Deploy to WHP
cp dist/index.html /docker/whp/web/site-builder/editor.html
cp -r dist/js/ /docker/whp/web/site-builder/js/
cp -r dist/css/ /docker/whp/web/site-builder/css/

The PHP wrapper (index.php) injects WHP_CONFIG (user session, CSRF token, site ID) into the HTML before serving.

Architecture

  • Craft.js - React-based visual editor framework (no iframe, direct DOM rendering)
  • Inline styles - All user content uses React CSSProperties, no class-based CSS
  • Component pattern - Each component is a self-contained file with: render logic, settings panel, Craft.js config, and HTML export method
  • 3-panel layout - Left (blocks/pages/layers/assets), Center (canvas with device preview), Right (styles/settings/head)
  • Dark theme - CSS custom properties, Inter font, blue accent

Components (22)

Category Components
Layout Container, Section, ColumnLayout (1-6 cols), BackgroundSection, HeaderZone, FooterZone
Basic Heading (H1-H6), TextBlock, ButtonLink, Navbar, Footer, Divider, Spacer
Media ImageBlock (upload/browse/drag-drop), VideoBlock (YouTube/Vimeo/direct/background)
