Templates and Data Management in Laman v3

Laman v3 introduces a public template catalog and a visual form data editor so you can update content without touching code.

What Is New in Laman v3

  • Public template catalog with cards, detail pages, and clone actions.
  • Template viewer pages with preview, creator info, and share links.
  • Template cloning with source attribution metadata.
  • Visual Form Data Editor for structured JSON editing.
  • Handlebars injection for dynamic data in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Start from a Ready-Made Template

You no longer need to begin from a blank page. Pick a template from the public catalog, clone it into your dashboard, and customize the content.

Open the Template Catalog

Go to laman.click, choose Catalog, and browse available templates. Each template shows:

  • Preview of the final design
  • Creator info and creation date
  • Clone button to copy it into your account

Clone a Template

Click Clone on a template you like. If you are not signed in, Laman will ask you to log in first. After that, a new project appears in your dashboard with the full template content.

Share Your Template

Have a project worth sharing? Enable Share to Catalog in project settings. Your template will appear publicly and can be cloned by other users.

Form Data Editor: Manage Content Without Code

The Form Data Editor lets you manage titles, pricing, descriptions, and lists from a structured UI. That data is injected into your template using Handlebars syntax.

How Data Works in Templates

Example variables in HTML:

<h1>{{ name }}</h1>
<p>{{ description }}</p>
<p>Price: {{ price }}</p>

For lists, use each:

{{#each products}}
  <div class="card">
    <h3>{{ name }}</h3>
    <p>{{ description }}</p>
    <span>{{ price }}</span>
  </div>
{{/each}}

Edit, Fill, and Raw Modes

  • Edit: Define structure, keys, and types.
  • Fill: Enter values without changing structure.
  • Raw: Edit JSON directly with automatic validation.

Data Types and Validation

Form Data supports string, number, boolean, array, and object. Arrays use a schema to define item types. Nested data is limited to 5 levels to keep structures stable.

A Fast Workflow

  1. Clone a template from the catalog.
  2. Update content from the Data tab.
  3. Preview changes in real time.
  4. Publish when ready.

Summary

Laman v3 speeds up two time-consuming steps: starting from zero and updating routine content.

  • Template catalog removes setup friction.
  • Form Data Editor makes content updates non-technical.
