How It Works

The visual editor consists of:

  1. A frontend application – Loads your website inside an iframe and detects editable content.
  2. A server-side process – When you save changes, it updates your content declaration files (in JSON format for now).

Installation & Setup

Once Intlayer is configured in your project, install intlayer-editor:

npm install intlayer-editor --save-dev


Then, configure a intlayer.config.ts file:

const config = {
  editor: {
    applicationURL: "http://localhost:3000",
  },
};
export default config;

Using the Editor

Once installed, start the editor:

npx intlayer-editor start


Then, open http://localhost:8000 in your browser and hover over content to edit it! 🎨
