✨ Why Elementa?
---------------

[](#-why-elementa)

Elementa lets non-technical users build production pages with a **visual, drag-and-drop editor**, while giving developers a **clean, plugin-friendly Laravel package** they can extend in PHP. It's not a fork of WordPress or a hosted SaaS — it's a regular Composer package you install into your Laravel app and own end-to-end.

You get…What it means🎨 **Drag-and-drop Vue 3 editor**10 core widgets, inspector, undo/redo, animated reorder, live iframe preview, responsive viewports🧩 **Plugin API**Third-party widgets, themes, and templates auto-discovered from any Composer package👥 **Real-time collaboration**Presence, monotonic version + 409-on-stale, optional Pusher / Reverb broadcasting🛒 **Marketplace + licensing**HMAC-signed license keys, pluggable payment gateways (Stripe, Null, your own)🔒 **Roles + approval workflow**`designer` / `editor` / `reviewer` / `admin` + `draft → in_review → approved → published`📊 **Analytics dashboards**Top pages / widgets / per-day buckets · JSON + CSV export🌍 **Multi-language**`pb_translations`, `LocalizedRenderer`, `?locale=` switching, hreflang, RTL detection♿ **WCAG 2.1 AA certification**`WcagReporter` + heuristics auditor + structural checks (landmarks, lang, viewport zoom)⚡ **Performance**Page cache, queue-based revalidation, CDN rewriting, lazy-loaded images---

🚀 Quick start
-------------

[](#-quick-start)

### 1. Require the package

[](#1-require-the-package)

```
composer require lupael/elementa
```

### 2. Publish &amp; migrate

[](#2-publish--migrate)

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Lupael\Elementa\ElementaServiceProvider"
php artisan migrate
```

### 3. Seed starter templates (optional)

[](#3-seed-starter-templates-optional)

```
php artisan elementa:seed-templates
```

### 4. Open the editor

[](#4-open-the-editor)

```
http://your-app.test/page-builder/editor

```

Drag a section onto the canvas, drop in a heading + button, hit **Publish**. Done.

> Don't have a Laravel app handy? Check out the [`demo/`](./demo/) directory — it shows how to consume Elementa as a path repo for local development.

🎭 Feature tour
--------------

[](#-feature-tour)

### Visual editor with inspector

[](#visual-editor-with-inspector)

The editor is a single Vue 3 SPA mounted in a Blade view (no build step required — Vue loads from a CDN by default). Drag widgets from the left palette, edit their settings in the right inspector, and watch your changes reflected live with smooth animated reordering.

 [![Drag-and-drop editor](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lupael/elementa/main/packages/lupael/elementa/docs/assets/editor.svg)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lupael/elementa/main/packages/lupael/elementa/docs/assets/editor.svg)

### Six production-ready starter templates

[](#six-production-ready-starter-templates)

Landing pages, blog posts, corporate sites, e-commerce product showcases, personal portfolios, and SaaS pricing — all installable via `php artisan elementa:seed-templates`.

 [![Starter templates](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lupael/elementa/main/packages/lupael/elementa/docs/assets/templates.svg)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lupael/elementa/main/packages/lupael/elementa/docs/assets/templates.svg)

### Real-time collaboration

[](#real-time-collaboration)

Multiple editors on the same page see each other's presence indicators, live cursors, and document patches. Optimistic concurrency means stale patches are rejected with `HTTP 409` and a rebase hint — no merge conflicts.

 [![Collaboration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lupael/elementa/main/packages/lupael/elementa/docs/assets/collaboration.svg)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lupael/elementa/main/packages/lupael/elementa/docs/assets/collaboration.svg)

### Marketplace + HMAC-signed licenses

[](#marketplace--hmac-signed-licenses)

A built-in marketplace for premium templates, themes, widgets, and plugins. Pluggable payment gateways (`NullGateway`, `StripeGateway`, or your own via `GatewayInterface`). Per-user license keys are HMAC-signed and verifiable offline.

 [![Marketplace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lupael/elementa/main/packages/lupael/elementa/docs/assets/marketplace.svg)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lupael/elementa/main/packages/lupael/elementa/docs/assets/marketplace.svg)

### Analytics dashboards

[](#analytics-dashboards)

Track which pages, widgets, and templates actually get used. Export raw or aggregated data as CSV. Build your own dashboards by hitting `/api/page-builder/analytics/*`.

🏛 Architecture at a glance
--------------------------

[](#-architecture-at-a-glance)

 [![Elementa architecture](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lupael/elementa/main/packages/lupael/elementa/docs/assets/architecture.svg)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lupael/elementa/main/packages/lupael/elementa/docs/assets/architecture.svg)

Every layer is replaceable — swap the renderer, register your own widgets, plug in a different broadcaster, point assets at any CDN. See the [architecture guide](packages/lupael/elementa/docs/architecture.md) for the full picture.

🗺 Roadmap
---------

[](#-roadmap)

Elementa follows [semantic versioning](https://semver.org). All seven planned milestones from `v0.1.0` (scaffold) through `v1.0.0` (Elementor-class polish + WCAG 2.1 AA certification) are already shipped and available as [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/lupael/elementa/releases).

VersionThemeStatus`v0.1.0`Scaffold✅ Released`v0.2.0`Advanced editor features✅ Released`v0.3.0`Plugin API + Collaborative editing✅ Released`v0.4.0`Marketplace + Advanced roles✅ Released`v0.5.0`Analytics + Performance scaling✅ Released`v1.0.0`Polish + WCAG 2.1 AA + Audit trail✅ Released`v1.0.2`Namespace alignment + docs suite✅ Latest`v1.1.0`Documentation suite &amp; visuals🔜 Next`v1.2.0+`Plugin marketplace ecosystemPlannedSee [`packages/lupael/elementa/CHANGELOG.md`](packages/lupael/elementa/CHANGELOG.md) for the full history.

---

🧪 Testing
---------

[](#-testing)

Elementa ships two complementary test layers — both run with zero setup beyond `php`:

```
# 1. End-to-end smoke test (no Laravel, no PHPUnit, no composer install)
php smoke-test.php
# → Result: 62 passed, 0 failed.

# 2. PHPUnit unit tests
cd packages/lupael/elementa
php phpunit.phar          # or vendor/bin/phpunit after `composer install`
# → OK (4 tests, 8 assertions)
```

The GitHub Actions [CI workflow](.github/workflows/ci.yml) runs both layers across the **PHP 8.1 / 8.2 / 8.3** matrix on every push.

---

🤝 Contributing
--------------

[](#-contributing)

We follow a `main` (releases) + `develop` (ongoing work) branch strategy. Before opening a PR:

1. Branch from `develop`.
2. Run `php smoke-test.php` — it must report **62 passed**.
3. Add an entry to `packages/lupael/elementa/CHANGELOG.md` under the unreleased section.
4. Bump `composer.json` `version` if your change ships a release.
