What is a widget?

In Froont all objects are called widgets. An image, a container or a text – it is a piece of code we have written for you and named it a “widget”, so that you can complete tasks faster and forget about coding.

This is a full list of available widgets at your service:

basic elements

Container

Container is on of the basic building blocks. It can contain any other widget. It also can have a background colour or background image. It also supports nesting of widgets – a container can have another container in there.

Grid widget

The function of a grid widget is to align other widgets into a grid. It can contain any other type of widget. They also can be nested endlessly – A grid widget can contain a container where another grid widget is in…

Text

header-text

Text widget is used to add text. It allows you to format text and edit its HTML.

Image

Use image widget if you want to add an image. The image an be added either by dragging it onto container or by a double click and the same applies when you are replacing the image. The widget aspect ration will be locked to the image aspect ratio.

SVG
