This project is aimed at helping developers in the process of getting new apps to Wix Dev Center as quickly as possible. The UI in this project focuses on the App's Settings Panel. The boilerplate offers UI standards and common Javascript components to assist the developer in passing Product tests, and in developing a consistent and uniformed UI for the app.

First, make an introduction. This is compulsry according to Wix Apps product style guide.
<div class="title">
<div class="icon">
<div class="logo">
<span class="gloss"></span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="divider"></div>
</div>
You can simply paste your app icon in the CSS .logo class:
.intro .icon .logo {
border-radius: 15px;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background: url('../../images/wix_icon.png') center;
}
Or, if you're using the precompiled Less sources, neatly nested in the .intro block, is the .logo class.
.intro {
.logo {
// …
background: url('@{images}/wix_icon.png') center;
}
}
Once your app is running, an authenticated user mode should come in handy. Under the .intro block you'll find two sections: .guest and .user. Switch the .hidden class between the two to accompany each these state in the app, respectively.
Guests will see the App Intro, a Connect Button, and a Text Link for creating a new account.
<div class="guest">
<div class="description">
<p><!-- App Description --></p>
</div>
<div class="login-panel">
<p class="create-account">Don't have an<br/>account? <a href="#"><strong>Create one</strong></a></p>
<button class="submit btn connect">Connect account</button>
</div>
</div>
Authenticated users will see the details of their Session Details (User name, e-mail etc) and a Text Link for disconnecting the session.
<div class="user hidden">
<p>
You are now connected to <strong class="user-name">John Doe ([email protected])</strong> account<br/>
<a class="disconnect-account">Disconnect account</a>
</p>
<div class="premium">
<p class="premium-features">Premium features</p>
<button class="submit btn upgrade">Upgrade</button>
</div>
</div>
If this is irrelevant to your project, simply remove this markup.
Box is the basic container for Wix 3rd Party Settings panel. Boxes are for grouped controls or information blocks. Use them as you like!
<div class="box">
<h3>Checkboxes</h3>
<div class="feature">
<p>Feature description</p>
<!-- Box content goes here -->
</div>
</div>
Boxes also contain the .feature, which styles a simple paragraph for textual information.
To group different controls in horizontal view, you can use the .list class and structure:
<ul class="list">
<li>
<span class="option">Option Name</span>
<!-- Option Markup -->
</li>
</ul>
This is a simple list with the proper CSS styling to contain all the HTML and JS components offered in the starter kit and present them in a neat horizontal row.
<div class="layouts">
<figure class="boxes"><figcaption class="radiobutton">Layout 1</figcaption></figure>
<figure class="full"><figcaption class="radiobutton">Layout 2</figcaption></figure>
<figure class="grid"><figcaption class="radiobutton">Layout 3</figcaption></figure>
</div>
The starter kit Javascript components are basically a set of jQuery Plugins.
<div class="accordion">
<div class="box">
<h3>Title</h3>
<div class="feature">
// content goes here
</div>
</div>
</div>
Set the Accordion parameters in accordion.js. In this case, box defines the Wrapper Class, and feature defines the content wrapper.
{
triggerClass : "box",
contentClass : "feature"
}
Initialize the Accordion in settings.js:
$('.accordion').Accordion();
Add the following HTML Markup
<a rel="popover" class="color-picker-1 color-selector default"></a>
Include Twitter Bootstrap components Tooltip and Popover dependencies in your main HTML file
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/bootstrap/bootstrap-tooltip.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/bootstrap/bootstrap-popover.js"></script>
Next, initialize your color picker on DOM ready like so:
$('.color-selector').ColorPicker();
Add a radio button group to your HTML file:
<div class="radiobuttons">
<div class="radiobutton"><p>Option 1</p></div>
<div class="radiobutton"><p>Option 2</p></div>
<div class="radiobutton"><p>Option 3</p></div>
</div>
Initialize the button group and decicde which button is checked.
$('.radiobuttons').Radio({ checked: 0 });
This is another use case for radio buttons, implemented in the Layout Picker structure:
<div class="layouts">
<figure class="boxes"><figcaption class="radiobutton">Layout 1</figcaption></figure>
<figure class="full"><figcaption class="radiobutton">Layout 2</figcaption></figure>
<figure class="grid"><figcaption class="radiobutton">Layout 3</figcaption></figure>
</div>
Next, you specifiy the nested element (el) of the radio button:
$('.layouts').Radio({el: "figure figcaption", checked: 1});
Note — .boxes, .full and .grid relate to backgorund-position of the layout sprite (See images/layouts.png):
Add a checkbox group (Note, one checkbox also needs to be in a wrapping group):
<div class="checkboxes">
<div class="checkbox"><p>Option 1</p></div>
<div class="checkbox"><p>Option 2</p></div>
<div class="checkbox"><p>Option 3</p></div>
</div>
Initialize checkbox, specifying checked checkboxes array with checkboxes 0 and 2 are:
$('.checkboxes').Checkbox({ checked: [0,2] });
Add the slider markup, a simple div would do.
<div id="slider1" class="slider"></div>
Initialize the Slider component with a value string.
$('.slider').Slider({ type: "Value" });
The starter kit stylesheets are compiled from LESS sources. If you are not familiar with LESS you can find more information here.
