|
Canvas is the center area of the ToolJet app builder where the application is built. You arrange the **components** by dragging them from the Components library(right-sidebar).
|
|
|
|
<div style={{textAlign: 'center'}}>
|
|
|
|
<img className="screenshot-full" src="/img/v2-beta/app-builder/canvas/canvas.png" alt="App Builder: Canvas"/>
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
### Arrange Components
|
|
|
|
All the components are fully interactive in editor mode - to prevent interaction you can **click and hold** the **Component Handle** to change component's position.
|
|
|
|
<div style={{textAlign: 'center'}}>
|
|
|
|
<img className="screenshot-full" src="/img/v2-beta/app-builder/canvas/arrange.png" alt="App Builder: Canvas"/>
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
### Resize Components
|
|
|
|
Components on the canvas can be resized from the edges.
|
|
|
|
You can precisely set the position of selected components using keyboard arrow keys after clicking the component handle.
|
|
|
|
<div style={{textAlign: 'center'}}>
|
|
|
|
<img className="screenshot-full" src="/img/v2-beta/app-builder/canvas/resize.gif" alt="App Builder: Canvas"/>
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
### Group Components
|
|
|
|
ToolJet comes with flexible components to group other components together, such as **Container** and **Form**. When you drag and drop components in containers/forms they create a group of nested components. All components can be nested in this way.
|
|
|
|
### Hide or Disable Components
|
|
|
|
Hide or Disable a component by setting its **Visibility** or **Disabled** property to `true`. Click on the component handle to open **config inspector** on right side. These values can also evaluate to true based on a truthy value. For example, you can use the property of one component to toggle the Visibility property of another component dynamically, you just need to write a conditional statement.
|
|
|
|
For example: We want to disable a button when a checkbox is checked so we can simple use `{{components.checkbox1.value}}` in **Disable** property of the button. `{{components.checkbox1.value}}` evaluates to `true` when the checkbox is checked, and false when unchecked.

|
<div style={{textAlign: 'center'}}>
|
|
|
|
<img className="screenshot-full" src="/img/v2-beta/app-builder/canvas/hide.gif" alt="App Builder: Canvas"/>
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
### Clone Components
|
|
|
|
You can clone existing components on the canvas by **cmd/ctrl + d**. Check other **[Keyboard Shortcuts](/docs/tutorial/keyboard-shortcuts)**
