Create Custom Component with custom code

Hi, it would be very useful to be able to create a real custom component containing a custom design + custom code in a single package which we could select from the left side bar in the same way as any other native component (button, image, etc…).
In my case I implemented a custom search engine with a lot of custom code,
So far, it seems we can only create a section and set it as a master section to reuse it on other pages.
The problems are:

  • the section is full width, what means I cannot insert it where I want in my design
  • we will have to include the custom code from a js file stored in the Public folder
  • I tried that and all the element identifiers have been modified to standard identifiers like “text1”, “checkBox2”, etc, while I identified all my elements with meaningful like “searchImage”, etc. What a painful task to rename all the ui elements…
    I really think having such a feature would add very high value to wix Editor X.
    Thanks in advance for considering my demand or providing a way to implement such a reusable component.
    David.

Hi!

You raise some good points regarding the master sections and reusable code.

Thanks for the great ideas!

We are working on bringing more of these features to make it easier to reuse code across multiple pages/sites on Editor X in the near future.

Thanks a lot for your response and the great news.
Looking forward to see such a feature in Editor X :slightly_smiling_face:
