Fabricator Plugins

[jonorherrington]

Hey @LukeAskew -

Has there been any thoughts put into adding the ability to make plugins for fabricator that we might not want to have in core, but might want in different circumstances?

Just wanted to spit ball that idea out.

Thanks!

[LukeAskew]

Yeah definitely been kicked around. Not sure what it looks like, but I'm open to a brainstorm.

What kind of things is everyone thinking?

[jameswragg]

When you say plugin do you mean a JavaScript utility like moment.js or pikaday.js that's used in this toolkit but not the next? Or a Fabricator plugin like commenting on a component for example?

[LukeAskew]

I think the latter.

Working on #165 now, and I'm thinking it is a good candidate for plugin status. Not something everyone wants, but enough people seem to find it useful.

[jameswragg]

Great, yes that plugin would be appreciated! We've got a LOT of components & the navigation is getting a little unwieldy in it's current state.

(really enjoying Fabricator!)

Idea for a Fabricator plugin – Resizable components: every component lives in it's own iframe, with a width resize handle. This would provide RWD testing (iframe hitting breakpoints) per component rather than resizing the whole window/viewport & losing your scroll position.

👍 for #165 , although I personally think that should be included in core.

Continuing from @jameswragg 's point about resizable components, I really liked ish, which is included in PatternLab.
