Guide

Use Markdown and Twig to put content in slideouts, widgets, standalone pages, UI Elements, and all around the Craft CMS control panel.

There’s also a Craft CMS plugin that makes setting this up even easier. It uses the web component and it takes care of setting up edit links and shortcuts to settings and other pages in the control panel.

If you’re one of those folks looking for a new CMS and you want to maintain a similar authoring experience, here’s a fully-customizable and themeable admin toolbar web component that you can use on the front-end of your site.

I put together a Stackblitz to show of some theming examples that you could use for Admin Bar Component based on a few CMSs I've used in the past. This also set a few preset buttons to some common pages you might use for each CMS. If you have suggestions for more themes, please send me a fork of it with your suggestions.

Here's a link to the Stackblitz:

I split the Craft CMS plugin, Admin Bar, into two things:

Admin Bar Component, a web component that can be used on any framework or front-end.

Admin Bar for Craft CMS, the plugin that lets you add a Twig tag and some custom settings to automatically add Admin Bar Component to Twig-based projects.

Here’s a write up about why this was done:

There’s a new Admin Bar in town. Actually there are two of them.

A "dual content model approach" that uses:
– a primary #ContentModel to define content for reuse across channels and
– a channel-specific content model for content that won't be reused elsewhere.

Nice discussion about making trade-offs to improve flexibility and the #AuthorExperience in #ContentStrategy.
