API documentation

[Jana Lyon]

Hi there,

Is there any API documentation for GWD? It seems like the best way to do a lot of things is directly into the code, so it would be great if there was API documentation to reference.

Thanks!

Me too. Some code examples and documentation would be great.

If it exists already then please can you point us in the right direction.

It would be great if some could answer this post.

Hi Jana and Magnus,

Yes, we had some discussions about this internally and it's something we're interested in doing and began this work by documenting the json manifest for adding custom components to GWD. We'll continue from there and I'll be sure to update the forum as we add additional documentation.

Jaz, that looks like the beginning of something great, what I was also wondering is there any documentation to the gwd actions and events api?

gwd.actions.events

I found this article but it's verging on mysterious https://support.google.com/webdesigner/answer/6000802?hl=en&ref_topic=6000799 

It maybe that I'm being stupid and haven't found the manual, I appreciate you're in beta and everything could change but a brief bit of documentation and some basic examples would be so helpful, especially for developers coming from a flash and actionscript background.

I've been trawling through gwd-events-support.1.0.js which isn't minified so a bit easier to read, is that good place to start?

Thanks for your speedy response.

Hi all  -

With our last release, we added API documentation for components. Hopefully this will be a good starting place as we continue to work to develop useful API resources.

+1 for documenting this. API documentation is extremely important / valuable when building custom creatives.
