This project is experimental! It's my attempt to create visual email template editor using React+Redux+etc... tools stack.

Overview

Creating a visual email template editor can seem like a daunting task, but this experimental project simplifies the entire process through the use of React and Redux. Bootstrapped with Create React App, it offers a solid foundation for developers who want to delve into crafting intricate email templates with customizable features. Inspired by Mosaico, this tool caters to those with some knowledge of NodeJS, npm, React, Redux, and JavaScript, ensuring that users can not only utilize its functionalities but also extend its capabilities based on their specific needs.

The installation process is straightforward, requiring just a download and a few terminal commands to get started. Once set up, it presents a user-friendly interface where users can easily drag and drop blocks to create their emails. This project not only encourages creativity but also empowers developers to build their own blocks, contributing to a more personalized editing experience.

Features

  • User-Friendly Interface: A clean layout with a left panel for block lists and options, making navigation intuitive for users.
  • Drag-and-Drop Functionality: Easily add blocks to your template by dragging them from the list, enhancing workflow efficiency.
  • Customizable Blocks: Users can modify common options, such as colors, for all blocks, allowing for consistent styling throughout the email.
  • Real-Time Preview: Instantly see how your email template looks as you edit, ensuring accuracy and satisfaction before sending.
  • Extensible Block System: Developers can create custom blocks by simply editing a JSON file and adding new components, fostering creativity.
  • Email Testing: Send test emails directly from the interface to verify the design and functionality before final delivery.
  • Localization Support: The interface is designed with language options, making it accessible to a wider audience.
  • Integrated TinyMCE Configuration: Seamless integration with TinyMCE for rich text editing, empowering users to create visually appealing emails effortlessly.

React

React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components

Redux

Redux is a state management library for JavaScript apps that provides a predictable and centralized way to manage application state. It enables developers to write actions and reducers that update the state in response to user interactions, server responses, and other events, and can be used with a variety of front-end frameworks and back-end technologies.
