Fixes .insertr-gate authentication for manual npm run serve workflow
while maintaining clean separation between CLI and manual setups.
- Replace automatic auth controls with developer-placed .insertr-gate elements
- Add OAuth-ready authentication flow with mock implementation
- Support any HTML element as gate with custom styling
- Implement proper gate restoration after authentication
- Move auth controls to bottom-right corner for better UX
- Add editor gates to demo pages (footer link and styled button)
- Maintain gates visible by default with hideGatesAfterAuth option
- Prevent duplicate authentication attempts with loading states
This enables small business owners to access editor via discrete
footer links or custom-styled elements placed anywhere by developers.
- Complete transition to zero-config approach
- Container expansion now handles content type detection automatically
- No manual field type declarations needed with div.insertr containers
- Remove all manual data-content-id attributes from HTML files
- Archive old insertr JS/CSS assets to demo-site/archive/
- Remove hardcoded script includes and CSS links
- Remove old authentication controls and mock API
- Enable pure zero-config approach with class='insertr' only
- Parser now generates all 40 content IDs automatically
- Implement Go-based CLI for build-time HTML enhancement
- Add container expansion: div.insertr auto-expands to viable children
- Create servedev command with live development workflow
- Add Air configuration for automatic rebuilds and serving
- Enable transition from runtime JS to build-time enhancement approach
- Split monolithic insertr.js (932 lines) into 6 focused modules
- Extract configuration system for extensible field types and validation
- Separate validation, form rendering, content management, and markdown processing
- Maintain same API surface while improving maintainability and testability
- Update demo pages to use modular system
- Remove legacy support for cleaner codebase
Add UX-focused validation to prevent user accidents and provide immediate feedback. Includes DOMPurify integration for basic content sanitization and real-time form validation.
Features:
- Real-time input validation with visual feedback
- Field-type specific validation (text, URL, markdown)
- DOMPurify integration for display sanitization
- Validation messages with auto-dismiss
- Prevents common user mistakes (HTML in text fields, invalid URLs)
- Client-side sanitization for markdown rendering
- Maintains security awareness while focusing on user experience
Note: This is UX-focused validation - server-side validation remains the primary security boundary.
Implement markdown collection support alongside existing element-level editing. Users can now choose between individual element editing (headlines, buttons) and rich markdown editing (stories, bios). Includes responsive overlay forms, smart field detection, and comprehensive documentation updates.
Features:
- Markdown collections with data-field-type="markdown"
- Responsive overlay forms that adapt to element width
- Element-level editing for granular control
- Updated documentation and integration guide
- Fixed marked.js renderer configuration issues
- Enhanced about.html to demonstrate both approaches
Replace container-based blob editing approach with individual element editing. Each .insertr element now gets appropriate field type (text, textarea, link) based on HTML tag and classes. Provides much better UX with separate inputs for headlines, paragraphs, and buttons while preserving HTML structure and styling.
🐛 Issue: marked is not a function error
✅ Fix: Properly access marked.js v16.x UMD API
🔧 Changes:
- Correctly access window.marked object from UMD build
- Find the parse function within the marked object
- Properly configure custom renderer with .use() method
- Add comprehensive error checking and logging
💡 UMD API Structure:
- UMD exposes: window.marked (object)
- Parse function: window.marked.marked or window.marked.parse
- Configuration: window.marked.use() method
