🔍 Easily overlooked feature in Puck 0.19: the new `trigger` parameter to resolveData that provides context about why it was called.
This enables you to customise the behaviour of resolveData based on the context, like avoiding expensive async calls.
Neat!

If you're implementing RBAC, then Puck's permissions API can help you lock things down! 🔒
For example, specifying `delete: false` will prevent the user from deleting components.
You can do this globally, per-component, or dynamically based on current props.

Puck's new slots API is mind-blowingly powerful 🤯
The demo "template" component combines:
- a slot field for the content
- a custom field to select/save the slot data
- the resolveData API to load the slot data

If you need to customise action bar in Puck, you can use the `actionBar` override!
Combine this with the <ActionBar> component to extend the interface with custom actions and other behaviours.
Little demo showing Puck changing the fields based on whether the parent uses CSS Grid.
Notice how the grid fields are removed from the layout section when moving the card.
You can achieve this using the "parent" param provided to the resolveFields API.

Tailwind v4 lets you safelist classes using source directives. This makes dynamic styling work at runtime, while still getting minimized CSS bundles.
In our latest tutorial, we show you how to use that to build a page builder from scratch with Puck:
Headless CMSs are great for reusing your content, but tweaking page layouts shouldn’t need a developer.
Here’s how to avoid that by integrating Puck with Contentful for page building 👉 dev.to/puckeditor/i...
Just merged Puck's massive (7,000 line change) Zustand state migration, eliminating almost all unnecessary re-renders.
Selectors also coming soon to `usePuck`, so your own Puck components can remain performant, too!
At Puck, we needed a flexible, high-performance drag-and-drop engine—so we tested every major DnD library for React.
Some were great. Some were… not.
Here’s a breakdown of the best options and when to use them:
Now that Puck’s new drag-and-drop engine is live, let’s talk about actually using it with CSS Grid & Flexbox.
This post covers patterns to avoid layout shifts, keep things predictable, and make your editor feel great.

Red lines show possible candidates. Green lines show mostly likely candidates.
It chooses a candidate based on midpoint and direction.
This is an inline CSS grid example. All completely inline - no wrapping elements.
