API Introduction

A brief introduction to the Elements templating

The Elements language is still in development, features and documentation will be updated as development progresses.

The Elements language is a simple, yet powerful templating language for RapidWeaver Elements.

The Elements language allows third-party developers to create custom Elements that can be used within the RapidWeaver Elements layout engine. Elements (.rwelementpack) are a bundle of files, usually a mixture of HTML, JS, CSS, JSON, and images.

The only thing you need to start building your own custom Elements is a copy of RapidWeaver and a text editor. Previous web development experience is recommend, but not required.

What's Required?

The following is a list of suggested tools to make developing Elements easier.

• A licensed copy RapidWeaver Elements Pro

• Text editor, we recommend Visual Studio Code.

• SF Symbol app for icon name reference.
