v0.15.0

Puck v0.15.0 introduces the powerful resolveFields API for dynamically defining fields, and exports Puck's internal field component for use within custom fields.

TLDR

1. Dynamic fields: Use the resolveFields API to dynamically define your fields - great for showing fields conditionally or loading external APIs.
2. AutoField component: Build custom fields using Puck's own field component for a seamless UI.
3. Override Publish button: Swap out the publish button without swapping out the entire header.
4. New puck.isEditing prop: Modify component behaviour based on whether it's inside <Puck> or <Render>.

Highlights

🪄 Dynamic fields

Dynamic field resolution via the resolveFields API allows you to change the field configuration whenever the props change. You can use this to show and hide fields or even load data from an API.

dynamic.fields.full.page.mp4

Code example:

const config = {
  components: {
    MyComponent: {
      // ...
      resolveFields: (data) => ({
        myField: {
          type: "radio",
          options: [],  // Populate dynamically
        },
      }),
    },
  },
};

🔤 AutoField component

The AutoField component lets you render a Puck field based on a Field object. Use this when building custom fields that need to use Puck-style fields internally.

const CustomField = ({ onChange, value }) => (
  <AutoField field={{ type: "text" }} onChange={onChange} value={value} />
);

🌐 Enable override of Publish button via headerActions

It's now possible to implement a custom Publish button without overriding the entire header by using the headerActions override.

<Puck
  overrides={{
    headerActions: ({ children }) => (
      <>
        {/* children will render default Publish button */}
        {children}
        {/* Or you can define your own */}
        <button>Click me</button>
      </>
    ),
  }}
/>;

This creates a breaking change for existing headerActions overrides, which will now need to render children to show the default Publish button.

🖊️ New puck.isEditing prop provided to all components

Components now receive the puck.isEditing prop. Use this to toggle functionality based on whether the component is being rendered in the <Puck> or <Render> contexts.

const config = {
  components: {
    MyComponent: {
      render: ({ puck }) => (
        <div style={{ background: puck.isEditing ? "hotpink" : "transparent" }}>
          Hello, world
        </div>
      ),
    },
  },
};

Breaking changes

headerActions override must now render {children} to show default Publish button

In order to support custom Publish buttons, the headerActions override will no longer render the default Publish button unless children are rendered.

<Puck
  overrides={{
    headerActions: ({ children }) => (
      <>
        {/* Render default Publish button */}
        {children}
      </>
    ),
  }}
/>;

v0.14.0

Puck v0.14.0 introduces the long awaited viewport switching feature, with drag-and-drop-friendly iframe rendering for full CSS media query support.

TLDR

1. Viewport switching: Render your entire Puck preview inside an iframe for full CSS media query support. Override the viewports using the viewports API.
2. New field APIs: Array and number fields now accept min/max params, and external fields can now render search filters using the familiar fields API.
3. New component label API: Provide a custom label to use as your component name.
4. Contentful field package: Easily load your Contentful content into Puck with this pre-configured field.
5. Color, accessibility and keyboard improvements: A new 12-tint color palette for improved contrast, amongst various other accessibility fixes.

Highlights

📱 Viewport switching

Puck now supports viewport switching with full iframe rendering, without compromising the drag-and-drop experience. This was a significant effort that required patching the underlying drag-and-drop library to support iframes and CSS transforms, and introducing a new library for syncing styles between host and iframe.

Puck.Viewport.Switching.mp4

Viewports are enabled by default, and can be customized by passing an array to the viewports API.

import { Puck } from "@measured/puck";

export function Editor() {
  return (
    <Puck
      viewports={[
        {
          width: 1440,
          height: "auto", // Optional height. Can be numeric or "auto". Defaults to "auto".
          label: "My Viewport", // Optional. Shown in tooltip.
          icon: <svg />, // Optional. Use lucide-icons to align with Puck UI.
        },
      ]}
      // ...
    />
  );
}

🔢 New field APIs

Both number and array fields now accept min and max parameters, allowing you to control the minimum and maximum values (or number of values) for user input. Thanks to @jabba-the-bug and @jperasmus for their contributions.

const numberField =  {
  type: "number",
  max: 10,
};

The new filterFields API on external fields allows you to render filters that are provided to your fetchList method using the familiar fields API.

const externalField = {
  type: "external",
  fetchList: async ({ filters }) => {
    // Query content and apply filters
  },
  filterFields: {
    rating: {
      type: "number", // Render a number field
    },
  },
},

🔡 New component label API

Customize the name of your component with the new label API. Thanks to @bwat-dev for contributing this feature.

const config = {
  components: {
    HeadingBlock: {
      label: "Heading Block",
      render: () => <h1>Hello, World</h1>,
    },
  },
};

Contentful field package

Use the new field-contentful package to load content out of your Contentful space.

NB An issue occurred publishing @measured/[email protected]. We will be introducing @measured/[email protected] soon to address this.

import createFieldContentful from "@measured/puck-field-contentful";

const config = {
  components: {
    Example: {
      fields: {
        movie: createFieldContentful("movies", {
          space: "my_space",
          accessToken: "abcdefg123456",
        }),
      },
      render: ({ data }) => {
        return <p>{data?.fields.title || "No data selected"}</p>;
      },
    },
  },
};

Breaking changes

Full Changelog: v0.13.0...v0.13.1

v0.13.0

Puck v0.13.0 introduces some of our most powerful APIs yet, enabling completely custom interfaces, adding support for object fields and mechanisms to restrict DropZones.

TLDR

1. Custom interfaces: Take complete control of the Puck UI with the new custom interface APIs.
2. Object fields: Represent objects as fields with the new object field type.
3. DropZone restrictions: The new allow and disallow props allow you to restrict which components can be dropped into DropZones.
4. New plugin API (Breaking Change): The plugin API has been updated to align with the new custom interfaces API. This is a breaking change. The plugin API remains experimental.
5. New transformProps API: The new transformProps API makes it easier to rename props on your components without breaking your payload.
6. New ui prop: Set the initial UI state for the Puck editor on render.
7. Add search to external fields: Show a search input in the external field modal, enabling the user to query your external API.

Highlights

🎨 Custom interfaces

It's now possible to create completely custom Puck interfaces to integrate more deeply with your own UI and create a seamless experience for your users.

This can be achieved by passing children to the <Puck> component.

import { Puck } from "@measured/puck";

export function Editor() {
  return (
    <Puck>
      <div style={{ background: "hotpink" }}>
        <Puck.Preview />
      </div>
    </Puck>
  );
}

See demo.

🪝 The usePuck hook

Access Puck's internals using the usePuck hook to extend Puck's functionality with powerful custom components.

import { Puck, usePuck } from "@measured/puck";

const JSONRenderer = () => {
  const { appState } = usePuck();

  return <div>{JSON.stringify(appState.data)}</div>;
};

export function Editor() {
  return (
    <Puck>
      <JSONRenderer />
    </Puck>
  );
}

🗃️ Object fields

Object fields enable you to represent your object types with the fields API. No more flattening your props!

const config = {
  components: {
    Example: {
      fields: {
        params: {
          type: "object",
          objectFields: {
            title: { type: "text" },
          },
        },
      },
      render: ({ params }) => {
        return <p>{params.title}</p>;
      },
    },
  },
};

🙅 DropZone restrictions

Restrict which components can be passed into a DropZone component with the allow and disallow props.

const MyComponent = () => (
  <DropZone zone="my-content" allow={["HeadingBlock"]} />
);

Deprecations

renderHeader deprecated

The renderHeader prop has been deprecated in favor of the overrides API.

// Before
export function Editor() {
  return (
    <Puck
      renderHeader={({ appState, dispatch }) => ()}
    />
  );
}

// After
export function Editor() {
  return (
    <Puck
      overrides={{
        header: ({ appState, dispatch }) => ()
      }}
    />
  );
}

renderHeaderActions deprecated

The renderHeaderActions prop has been deprecated in favor of the overrides API.

// Before
export function Editor() {
  return (
    <Puck
      renderHeaderActions={({ appState, dispatch }) => ()}
    />
  );
}

// After
export function Editor() {
  return (
    <Puck
      overrides={{
        headerActions: ({ appState, dispatch }) => ()
      }}
    />
  );
}

Breaking changes

renderComponentList removed

The renderComponentList prop has been removed in favor of the overrides API.

// Before
export function Editor() {
  return (
    <Puck
      renderComponentList={({ appState, dispatch }) => ()}
    />
  );
}

// After
export function Editor() {
  return (
    <Puck
      overrides={{
        componentList: ({ appState, dispatch }) => ()
      }}
    />
  );
}

Plugin API revamped

The plugin API has been significantly revamped to match the overrides API.

// Before
export function Editor() {
  return (
    <Puck
      plugins={[
        { renderFields: ({ appState, dispatch }) => () }
      ]}
    />
  );
}

// After
export function Editor() {
  return (
    <Puck
      plugins={[
        overrides: {
          form: ({ appState, dispatch }) => ()
        }
      ]}
    />
  );
}

Full Changelog: v0.12.0...v0.13.0

v0.12.0

The Puck docs now live at https://puckeditor.com/.

Summary

This release introduces support for React Server Components (thanks @4leite), makes huge improvements to responsive behaviour (🙇‍♂️ @monospaced) and introduces a Remix recipe (ty @EarthlingDavey).

⚡️ React Server Components

Puck now supports React server components via the included @measured/puck/rsc bundle. You should import Render from this bundle instead of the main bundle if you need to support RSC:

import { Render } from "@measured/puck/rsc";
 
export function Page() {
  return <Render config={config} data={data} />;
}

Docs: https://puckeditor.com/docs/integrating-puck/server-components

📱 Responsive Improvements

Puck now behaves much better on small viewports! We’ll continue to iterate on this experience.

✨ Remix Recipe

The new Remix recipe enables you to generate a Remix Run v2 application configured with Puck.

💅 New CSS imports

You can now import your CSS directly from the Puck package, instead of reaching into dist. This is backwards compatible.

@import "@measured/puck/puck.css";
