Getting Started

1. Add 'wagtail_fedit' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
   ...,
   'wagtail_fedit',
   ]
   

2. Run py ./manage.py collectstatic.

3. Run py ./manage.py adapter_help to see all your options and their requirements.

How your content is rendered

(Maintainer's note: In my experience this doesn't mess the CSS up too much, or even at all for most content - if you don't get hyperspecific with your CSS selectors and structure your templates well.)

Your block and field are wrapped in a div, any CSS for your templates should keep this in mind.

Rendered editable output HTML

{% load fedit %}<div id="{{ unique_id }}" data-wrapper-id="{{ unique_id }}" class="wagtail-fedit-adapter-wrapper{% if shared_context.inline or adapter.inline %} wagtail-fedit-inline{%endif%} wagtail-fedit-{{ identifier }}" data-fedit-constructor="{{ js_constructor }}" {% if shared %} data-shared-context="{{ shared }}"{%endif%} data-edit-url="{{ edit_url }}" data-refetch-url="{{ refetch_url }}">
