Hi community,
Please explain what the HTML/CSS/JS to Bricks data converter feature does? I’m curious to know about it. Thank you very much.
Nobody outside the Bricks team will know exactly how it’ll be implemented, but it’ll be that you paste in your HTML/CSS/JS somewhere and it converts to Bricks structure and settings.
So maybe you have..
<div class="some-class"><a href="/">My home link</a></div>
with some CSS for your class and link. And then after you paste it in, Bricks converts it so you now have a div element with the global class already added, with the styling added, and your link as a seperate element in the structure.
At least that would be the expectation. The idea being you could copy in entire pages if you have the HTML already and so don’t need to manually build it.
And then with the mentioned AI support coming, most likely this’ll be linked to that somehow, so the AI can do this as it’ll have an understanding of how raw HTML relates to Bricks’ element structure and settings etc, so can build things ‘the bricks way’.
(i’m speculating, but it’ll be close to this no doubt)
Ah, I get it now. Interesting idea. Thanks for the great explanation @wplit.
