probably the coolest bit of tech I've ever built

Release v0.19.3 · puckeditor/puck Bug Fixes don't duplicate content in Render when using multiple root DropZones (412cc57)

0.19.3 release from this morning
github.com/puckeditor/p...

Over the last week, we've published 2 bug fix releases for Puck. One of them was released within 6 hours of a critical bug being reported this morning.

Open source is a lot of work, so we're hoping that making things bite-sized reduced some of the cognitive load 🧠

Managing open source releases is hard, but we're working on improving it by reducing the size of each releases

Smaller releases mean:

1. Improved stability as bug are fixed more quickly
2.Rapid improvements as features are released in smaller chunks
3. Contributions merged more quickly

what if you could infinitely extend your page builder for the perfect experience?

sneak peak of Puck's dedicated new plugin ui 👀

UI overrides | Puck The overrides API is highly experimental and is likely to experience breaking changes.

Here's the overrides documentation: puckeditor.com/docs/extendi...

This is a basic example, but you can pretty much override the entire app! And because Puck also exposes its internal applications state, you can completely customise it to your needs.

Overrides are probably one of Puck's most powerful features, letting you add custom UI to the Puck interface ⚡️

Say you have a long list of components and need to filter them. Puck doesn't come with search, but it's easy to add one using the "components" override.

🔍 Easily overlooked feature in Puck 0.19: the new `trigger` parameter to resolveData that provides context about why it was called.

This enables you to customise the behaviour of resolveData based on the context, like avoiding expensive async calls.

Neat!

If you're implementing RBAC, then Puck's permissions API can help you lock things down! 🔒

For example, specifying `delete: false` will prevent the user from deleting components.

You can do this globally, per-component, or dynamically based on current props.

Puck's new slots API is mind-blowingly powerful 🤯

The demo "template" component combines:

- a slot field for the content
- a custom field to select/save the slot data
- the resolveData API to load the slot data

<ActionBar> | Puck

Docs: puckeditor.com/docs/api-ref...

If you need to customise action bar in Puck, you can use the `actionBar` override!

Combine this with the <ActionBar> component to extend the interface with custom actions and other behaviours.

useGetPuck | Puck

API reference: puckeditor.com/docs/api-ref...

One of my favourite new features in Puck 0.19 is the useGetPuck hook.

It lets you access the internal Puck API without triggering a re-render. Great for performance!

Little demo showing Puck changing the fields based on whether the parent uses CSS Grid.

Notice how the grid fields are removed from the layout section when moving the card.

You can achieve this using the "parent" param provided to the resolveFields API.

Puck 0.19 introduces the Slots API — the powerful successor to DropZones that lets you nest components using fields — along with several other new features.

Just merged Puck's massive (7,000 line change) Zustand state migration, eliminating almost all unnecessary re-renders.

Selectors also coming soon to `usePuck`, so your own Puck components can remain performant, too!
