PoC: CSS Grid Layout Editor and Web GUI Editor?

Concept

I think today's web application development needs GUI editor for itself, with valid semantics.

It's not Home Page Builder.

Implementation

For that research, I wrote css grid layout generator at first.

Try it here. https://mizchi-sandbox.github.io/grid-generator/

Yes, it's very rough but works.

This tool generates css like this.

.gridContainer { width: 100%; height: 100%; display: grid; grid-template-columns: 120px 4fr 1fr; grid-template-rows: 60px 1fr 40px; grid-template-areas: 'header header header' 'left content right' 'footer footer footer'; } .headerArea { grid-area: header; } .leftArea { grid-area: left; } .contentArea { grid-area: content; } .rightArea { grid-area: right; } .footerArea { grid-area: footer; } 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
