Materials within resizable iframes #282

Open mahish opened 7 years ago

mahish commented 7 years ago

Hey, I would rly like to have possibility to resize components independently on actual viewport. I create this issue since there is no single issue devoted solely to the iframe idea itself. I went through all the issues here and it has been already mentioned in #82, #254 and even existing solution in fabricator-assemble pull request https://github.com/fbrctr/fabricator-assemble/pull/35 (haven't tested it yet). I believe https://github.com/fbrctr/fabricator-assemble/issues/34 is also related because to have a resizable components you need to place them within iframe which needs separate html files for each component.

Proposed solution

However, from UI point of view it doesnt make sense to me. Fabricator uses left side navigation which doesnt go well with resizing the iframe to the center of the viewport. So I propose to resize it from right to left.

And there is a (complicated) decision to make:

Either way has some significant design consequences.
