June 2025 — ContentStack Live Preview SDK monthly summary. Key features delivered: - Visual Builder environment detection utility (isOpenInBuilder): Added a utility to detect if the app runs inside the Visual Builder by checking the builder query parameter in the URL. Integrated into VisualBuilder components and tests to conditionally render builder UI only when the utility returns true, reducing misrendered UI and editor confusion. - Field Location Apps UI and interactions in Visual Builder: Implemented UI and interactions for displaying/selecting apps associated with a field location. Introduced FieldLocationAppList, integrated with FieldToolbar, added a toggle/More icon to reveal app lists, a searchable app list, and selection triggering postMessage with app data and position, plus event handling for field location data. Major bugs fixed: - Start editing button rendering bug: Fixed rendering by refactoring generateStartEditingButton to append to the document body and prevent duplicate button creation. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved reliability and correctness of Visual Builder UI and editor workflow, with safer environment-aware rendering and a more robust field location apps experience. Reduced UI duplication and rendering inconsistencies, enabling a smoother editing process for content managers. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - URL parameter detection, DOM manipulation, postMessage communication, event handling, React component integration, and test coverage updates.
