Custom tools	unlayer-custom-tools	Building custom drag-and-drop tools, property editors, widgets
Exporting content	unlayer-export	HTML/PDF/Image export, saving designs, auto-save, Cloud API
Editor configuration	unlayer-config	Features, appearance, merge tags, security, file storage

Routing Examples

User Says	Route To
"Add Unlayer to my React/Vue/Angular app"	unlayer-integration
"Build an email/page in code" / "Generate a template with React components" / "Render JSX to email HTML"	unlayer-elements
"Create a custom drag-and-drop tool"	unlayer-custom-tools
"Export HTML" / "Save the design" / "Generate thumbnail"	unlayer-export
"Set up merge tags" / "Configure features" / "HMAC security"	unlayer-config
"Upload images to my server" / "Dark theme" / "Custom fonts"	unlayer-config
"My merge tags aren't working" / "Editor won't load"	Check unlayer-config or unlayer-integration

Editor vs Elements: unlayer-integration embeds the visual drag-and-drop editor. unlayer-elements builds templates purely in code (React components → HTML), with no editor UI — use it for AI/programmatic template generation.

Multiple skills needed? Common flow:

1. Start with unlayer-integration to add the editor to your app
2. Use unlayer-config to customize features, merge tags, appearance
3. Use unlayer-export to save designs and export content
4. Use unlayer-custom-tools if you need custom drag-and-drop blocks

Common Setup

Prerequisites

1. An Unlayer account at console.unlayer.com
2. A Project ID — find it in Dashboard > Project > Settings
3. A Project Secret (for HMAC security only) — find it in Dashboard > Project > Settings > API Keys

Minimal Init

unlayer.init({
  id: 'editor-container',        // HTML div ID where editor mounts
  projectId: YOUR_PROJECT_ID,     // From Dashboard > Project > Settings
  displayMode: 'email',           // 'email' | 'web' | 'popup' | 'document'
});

Display Modes

Mode	Use For	HTML Output
email	Email templates	Table-based (Outlook/Gmail safe)
web	Landing pages	Div-based (modern CSS)
popup	Modal overlays	Div-based with popup positioning
document	Print-ready docs	Div-based with page breaks
