@builder.io/widgets

Builder Widgets

Adds widgets for Builder.io editing, such as carousels, tabs, accordions, etc.

How to use it

First, install the package:

npm install @builder.io/widgets

When using the React SDK, import:

import '@builder.io/widgets';

When you import widgets wherever you render a <BuilderComponent ... />, the widgets register and are available in the Visual Editor and when rendering (including server-side).

Example

For a working example, check out Builder's Next.js example.

Lazy Loading

Instead of importing the root @builder.io/widgets, which synchronously registers all components, you can asynchronously import only the widgets used in your Builder content.

With Next.js

To dynamically import widgets in Next.js, use the following import statement:

import '@builder.io/widgets/dist/lib/builder-widgets-async'

Frameworks other than Next.js

Lazy load the widget components explicitly by registering them with your lazy loading library of choice; for example, Loadable, and only the specified components will load when used in content, as needed.

import { Builder } from '@builder.io/react';
import { accordionConfig } from '@builder.io/widgets/dist/lib/components/Accordion.config';
import loadable from '@loadable/component';

Builder.registerComponent(
  loadable(() =>
    import('@builder.io/widgets/dist/lib/components/Accordion').then(mod => mod.AccordionComponent)
  ),
  accordionConfig
);

You can also use this same methodology with Suspense as well.
