GrapesJS is a free and open source Web Builder Framework which helps you building HTML templates to be used inside sites, newsletters and mobile apps.
Mainly GrapesJS was designed to be used inside a [CMS] to speed up a creation of dynamic templates. To better understand this concept check the image below

<br/>

<br/>

Generally any 'template system', that you'd find in various applications like CMS, is composed by the **structure** (HTML), **style** (CSS) and **variables**, which are then replaced with other templates and contents on server-side and rendered on client.

This demos show examples of what is possible to achieve:

## Installation

* `npm i grapesjs` / `yarn add grapesjs`
* `git clone https://github.com/artf/grapesjs.git`

For development purpose you should follow instructions below.





## Development

GrapesJS uses [Webpack](https://github.com/webpack/webpack) as a module bundler and [Babel](https://github.com/babel/babel) as a compiler.

Clone the repository and install all the necessary dependencies

```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/artf/grapesjs.git
$ cd grapesjs
$ npm i
```

Start the dev server

```sh
$ npm start
```

Build before the commit. This will also increase the patch level version of the package

```sh
$ npm run build
```





## Usage

JQuery is the only hard dependency so you have to include it before using GrapesJS

```html
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.0.min.js"></script>
```
After that include scripts from GrapesJS with all your configurations

```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/grapes.min.css">
<script src="path/to/grapes.min.js"></script>

<div id="gjs"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
  var editor = grapesjs.init({
      container : '#gjs',
      components: '<div class="txt-red">Hello world!</div>',
      style: '.txt-red{color: red}',
  });
</script>
```

You could also grab the content directly from the element with `fromElement` property

```html
<div id="gjs">
  <div class="txt-red">Hello world!</div>
  <style>.txt-red{color: red}</style>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
  var editor = grapesjs.init({
      container : '#gjs',
      fromElement: true,
  });
</script>
```

For more practical example I suggest to look up the code inside this demo: http://grapesjs.com/demo.html
