[Plugin] Embed any data into your Bricks site

Hello everyone, I just wanted to showcase a demo of a plugin I’ve been working on for Bricks, I truly like how powerful this builder is. I wish it was a little more flexible in terms of controls creation in the UI, but this is what I’ve got so far. It allows you to:

  1. Get data from ani REST API and access nested properties of the response to then display it
  2. Get data from a CSV and display it

I’m doing this more as a hobby, as all I needed was the CSV part for now, but if there would be interest I could push it forward. I’d love to hear if any of you found themselves needing something like this at some point in your lives of Bricks Pros.

Check out this video demoing the current state of it.

Looks promising. I could see using it myself on a site where I need to display products (catalog, not on sale) imported from 4-5 different wholesalers. Looks much cleaner than setting separatae csv imports, cron updates etc.

Does it work with pagination / search?

Hello, I haven’t needed pagination for my personal usecase yet, neither filters, it seems like it might not be that simple, but I think I could reverse engineer how Bricks does it.

Amazing work, are you planning of releasing it?

Looks nice, you should release it :slight_smile:

Cool! Ever complete this?

Yes, any updates, looked like a great project with tremendous potential

Hi guys, I ended up abandoning this idea because of the lack of Brick’s team’s answers to key questions about how Bricks Builder works. I needed these answers as a clue to be able proceed. The plugin does what I need for my personal project and I’m satistfied with that, unfortunately I’m not motivated to push further under these circumstances.
