GrapesJS out in the wild

[chrisedington]

Hi,

I wanted to check out some examples of how people are using GrapesJS and how they may have extended it or customized it to their needs.

Would be cool if anyone with a public facing (I guess even a screenshot) site commented on this issue to build a list of current uses of this great extension!

[arthuralmeidap]

Unfortunately, I can disclosure the app built on top of GrapesJS, but I have been working on an UI tool to build E-mail marketing. We have a lot of customizations/integrations to improve the existing greatness of GrapesJS like creating a custom Asset Manager; Social blocks (to add social medias to the email);

[tristanMatthias]

I'm using in Origami CMS!

[artf]

@tristanMatthias wow! seems quite promising 👏

[tristanMatthias]

Thanks @artf! I need a lot of help 😅

[noogen]

Still a WIP, I'm using it to build new form components: https://niiknow.github.io/grapesjs-components-farmer/

Mainly focus on getting unique Name field, which are important for Form submission. Also implement doTjs for templating, so I can work on supporting additional CSS framework with initial support of Bootstrap4.

[artf]

@noogen great, thanks for sharing

We use GrapesJS to power our CMS at http://saasquatch.com

Widgets

• GrapesJS powers the editing of the content in our in-app javascript widget
• We have customized most of the toolbars, removed most of the default components, and have it made up of only custom web components
• Plugged in https://cloudinary.com/ for asset management
• It works pretty great with Web Components and https://stenciljs.com/ ❤️
• Recommendation: Use GrapesJS with Web Components

Emails

• We also use it for HTML email editing, but find that it isn't great (because HTML emails are a nightmare to get right, not directly a fault of GrapesJS....) We're looking to switch to GrapesJS + MJML or https://beefree.io/ to make the end-user experience more bearable.
• Recommendation: Avoid GrapesJS for plain HTML email templates

[artf]

Amazing work @loganvolkers thanks for pointing out your use cases

[gabrigcl]

I'm using grapesjs as the core of our online ebook creator SaiteBooker: www.saitebooker.com.br. It's still in development and this public version is a prototype.

[artf]

@gabrigcl fantastic use case 👏

@froderf May we see some screenshots or maybe a demo?

[robhoward]

We're upgrading to GrapesJS for our Landing Page and Email designers in DailyStory.

We made quite a few changes, mostly to turn-off or disable certain functionality while also writing all new components from the ground-up so we could control the editing experience (we limit what you can/cannot do in the designer), e.g. where blocks and components can be placed.

And, all the landing page components are built around Bootstrap. Just keeps things super-simple for our customers.

We then had to start from scratch and write another set of components / blocks from the ground up for email templating with tables to work in an email-friendly way while controlling what could/could not be done in the editor. We needed different types of components for different situations, e.g. a non-editable/removable layout container table vs. a draggable content section table.

We also integrated our own file manager.

We're launching our landing page editor to our customers in 2 weeks (still putting the finishing touches on it). We're planning to launch our updates to the email editor in late July. We started both these projects about 9 months ago (worked on them on-and-off). I'll share some screen shots of the email editor later.

Great project @artf

[artf]

Amazing work @robhoward thanks for sharing

[DavidSporer]

We're using GrapesJs as our email editor for Passcreator. Most changes were simply styling and a couple of changes regarding to the column blocks of emails. We still need to revamp it since we didn't spend too much time integrating it last year but it's working quite well.

@loganvolkers do you have a coded example of how you integrated the web components with grapesjs?

[ThatoLesetla]

Yes I do, I’ll have to upload it on GitHub then I’ll send It to you. I was working on a website builder so it appeared to be a great framework to use

@ThatoLesetla I am doing something similar! Yes please let me know if you upload the code.

[rlopzc]

@loganvolkers man that looks amazing!

Do you have an example or the code uploaded about grapejs + web-components?

[tasham16]

@ThatoLesetla any updates?

[pvbergen]

I can add our use case to this issue: https://www.drupal.org/project/pagedesigner

We have created a Drupal 8 module based on grapesjs for visual editing of pages. We utilize grapesjs as the frontend and wrote a custom interface to Drupals backend. This allows us to layout individual nodes with the WYSIWYG interface provided by grapesjs and store the components and traits in a structured tree.

Here's a screenshot of one our demo pages: We customized the css quite a bit, but the js of grapes is untouched.

I had a talk end of October at DrupalCon Amsterdam (Making Drupal as easy to us as Squarespace) and people were very impressed. Lot's of that is thanks to the great work @artf and all the other contributors provide for grapesjs. Thanks very much!

[artf]

Thanks @pvbergen for sharing the use case and making your module available for others. Great talk and the integration seems quite solid 👏

[Jogai]

We're sending more than 1.5 million emails each week to more than 300K subscribers in 20 lists of subscribers (its not spam, they subscribed, maybe after a bit encouragement from us). Our system uses a template to generate a prefilled newsletter which is rendered in grapesjs. Users drag stuff around and then send it.

[GoodPHP]

We're creating websites builder projects. We often use GrapesJS like editor for pages or like editor for newsletter.

We provide services on GrapesJS: https://devfuture.pro/grapesjs-development/

GrapesJS Multiple Pages

[HansSchouten]

Thanks for the awesome work on creating GrapesJS!

In my web projects I love to have the power of PHP frameworks like Laravel to create complex custom dynamic components, but want to offer my clients the ease of managing pages using a pagebuilder. That is why I am developing PHPageBuilder, which allows to add GrapesJS to any PHP project. With Laravel Pagebuilder specifically for using GrapesJS in any Laravel project.

[artf]

@HansSchouten truly amazing, and thanks for the open-source libraries

[amodliszewski]

At Simple LMS we have decided to use GrapesJS as page editor for our clients. We have also created additional integration with our built-in file library, allowing to pick images that are available on website. We also did changed layout a bit.

But there is a lot to do with it, we are still missing some easy to use components and integration with our video library for video component.

[ChrisB9]

I am currently developing a Page-Builder for the CMS/PIM pimcore.org inspired by @HansSchouten https://github.com/ChrisB9/PimcorePageBuilderBundle It is still in early development but already working

[fzerman]

I am developing a page builder for my web builder project.

I will add my custom managers and a package index repo like a hub. Thanks for this framework.

[millord]

Hello guys!!

How are you doing the integration with the cms. In my case I would do it with ghost or sanity. Where I can find how to integrate it? In the Storage Manager section?

[ibtissammoufid]

Hello everyone, we want to build a page builder using Garpejs and angular, has anyone ever used it with angular? I'm a beginner and I would appreciate some guidelines or recommendations, thanks!

[BerkeAras]

@ibtissammoufid As a beginner, I would not start using angular with GrapesJS. Angular is very complex, GrapesJS can be very complex – not very beginner friendly!

[BerkeAras]

But there is a Medium Blog-Post about integrating GrapesJS in Angular, but unfortunately not in english (in spanish). Try to translate it: https://medium.com/@camiloht23/integración-de-grapesjs-con-angular-11ebf3bb80c5

[ibtissammoufid]

@BerkeAras unfortunately, I have to work with Angular to build a page builder, and since it would be difficult to start from scratch, I thought GrapesJs would be a good starting point, do you know any better options, thanks a lot for your answer!

[Jogai]

It may not be a beginner task, but you should be able to integrate it into an angular environment. That said, this is the wrong issue to have this discussion.

[anlumo]

My project has finally been released, so I can show it off now:

It's part of our tabletop RPG battlemap editor DungeonFog and used for creating notes and adventure books for game masters. The idea is that you can print them to PDF from the browser, so it's kinda like a simpler InDesign.

[artf]

Awsome project @anlumo and thanks also for being an active contributor on GrapesJS, I hope to continue seeing you here :)

[anlumo]

@anlumo Hello Sir 👋 . I'm trying to make a page structure on grapesjs. Could you share with me how to add pagination in DungeonFog's GM-notes?

Unfortunately, CSS doesn't allow for controlled pagination (it's not designed for print), so this is all a big hack.

Every page is a div sized according to the paper size (directly in millimeters) and the wrapper only allows page elements in it. The CSS disables all print margins and replaces them with regular CSS padding.

It's not possible to overflow text from one element to another in CSS, so page wrapping has to be done manually by the user.

Additionally, there's a bug in Chrome concerning page margins, which I reported here. It's still open after about 1.5 years.

[Jogai]

Guys, this belongs in an issue on its own, not here at least

[ronaldohoch]

I am very happy to be able to show you our version of GrapesJs, I have been working to adapt GrapesJs with my colleague @gustavohleal for over a year and it is already being used by approximately 100 customers. Let's release it little by little to the others ^^

We have two versions of grapesJs, Landing Page version and Email Marketing version using mjml, In addition to a css work to customize the editor, we work developing plugins, traits and custom styles as well, in addition to reporting many bugs and opening several discussions as well. and of course, helping the community whenever possible!

Thank you, @artf and the community ♥
