Page Builder

Multiple Fixes (#3349)

EnabledtargetProperty on thePbEditorPageElementPluginPlugin

The target property on the PbEditorPageElementPlugin plugin enables users to define into which existing elements the element that’s being dragged can be dropped. Prior to this release, this didn’t work, because the property essentially wasn’t taken into consideration in the internal code.

From now on, users can now use the target property on the PbEditorPageElementPlugin plugin to explicitly list elements into which the dragged element can be dropped.

Introduced thecanReceiveChildrenProperty on thePbEditorPageElementPluginPlugin

Prior to this release, if a user wanted to mark a page element as an element that can receive additional children elements (for example via drag and drop), they would need to define the onReceived callback via the PbEditorPageElementPlugin plugin.

Since this showed to be a common use-case, we decided to introduce a new property called canReceiveChildren on the PbEditorPageElementPlugin plugin, which enables users to mark an element as an element that can receive additional children elements, without the need to define the onReceived callback.

targetIs Now Also Considered When Adding Elements by Clicking in the Left Sidebar

Prior to this release, when adding an element onto a page via the Click to Add feature (vs. just dragging and dropping), the target property defined on the PbEditorPageElementPlugin plugin would not be taken into consideration.

This has now been taken addressed. No matter if the user drags and drops the page element onto an existing element, or adds it via the mentioned Click to Add feature, the target property will be considered. In other words, the page element won’t get added into the existing element, no matter which approach was used.

Paragraph and Heading Page Elements - New Text Align Options (#3304)

In the page editor, users are now able to perform the following text alignment-related actions when using the Paragraph and Heading page elements:

• alignment actions: align left, align right, align center, and justify center
• indent actions: indent and outdent text

Note that, previously, these actions were performed via the right side menu, which has now been removed.

File Manager

Migration Failure in Locale Without File Entries (DynamoDB + Elasticsearch Setup) (#3337)

With 5.36.0 version we introduced the Advanced Content Organisation for File Manager: in order to work a data migration was needed and executed via the Data Migration Lambda Function. When dealing with a locale that lacked file entries, the migration process would fail.

We have resolved this migration bug. The fix ensures that in cases where a locale does not have any file entries (and the consequent empty Elasticsearch index), the migration process no longer encounters errors and proceeds smoothly.

Documentation

New "Page Element With Child Elements" Example

On the back of the improvements listed in the Page Builder section above, we’ve created the Page Element With Child Elements example, which demonstrates how to create a page element that can receive additional child elements. Be sure to check out the example, as it also contains a couple of bonuses.

Development

Fully Destroy Your Project With the Improvedwebiny destroyCommand (#3353)

Prior to this release, in order to fully destroy a deployed Webiny project, users would need to destroy all four project applications (Website, Admin, API, and Core), by sequentially running four separate webiny destroy commands.

And although this was made a bit easier with the ability to specify multiple applications in a single command execution, it was still not ideal because users would need to remember to destroy all four applications, in the correct order.

So, with this release, users can now run the webiny destroy command without specifying the project application. This will destroy all four applications in the correct order, and in a single command execution. In other words, the command will fully destroy your Webiny project, deployed into the specified environment.

For example:

Note that, upon doing this, the command will ask for a confirmation of the environment you wish to destroy, via the --confirm-destroy-env flag.

Thewebiny aboutCommand (#3351)

With this release, we’re introducing the webiny about command, which displays a plethora of information about the Webiny project you’re currently working on.
