Creating content with elements

Both content and template components are created by dragging Elements from the Element tray. Elements are pieces of functionality that perform functions or add contentto your components. There are a group of standard elements supplied with HammerKit. The elements are grouped according to their function: 

 

 

Content 

These add content or allow you to control the layout and look and feel of your component.

Forms

These are the elements needed to build and control forms for data input. 

Control

here are elements that let you create a programmatic flow or dynamic elements to your web service. You can, for example, add simple” if”/”else if” blocks that can control the output of your site depending on the conditions you set. 

Social Media

Use these to include parts from Facebook, LinkedIn and more. 

Data

The data elements provide access to both internal and external data sources and allow you to manipulate data in your web service.

 

+ drag the element by clicking and holding your mouse 

+ button over the element you would like to place on the canvas 

+ the element will display a blue line on the canvas to indicate where it is going to be placed 

+ to add an element before another element, hold SHIFT on your keyboard as you drag the element. This will allow the blue line to move in front of other elements, rather than aadding components to components 

+ Adding text and image elements 

+ Text and images are the most common elements used on web sites. The below examples 
illustrate how you add text and images in HammerKit.
