What does this have to do with no-code?

But what do you do with it? So you modify margin and padding client side... and then what? I see what it does, but I don't see what you'd use it for.

Anything you want would be the answer. Like you could have a no code tool for creating websites or anything with a layout

I see now, it’s just a UI library for controlling margin and padding, nothing more? The “no code” talk made me think it was more than that.

It’s cool, but just because it could be used for “no code” I don’t see how it is no code.

It's not actually no-code but "for" no-code tools.

For example - web builders like Divi, brizy or Webflow uses this type of functionality all the time.

There was no library for it. And I was working on a project (a no-code tool) that needed this type of functionality.

that's why I thought, it's high-time now for a spacers library. I created the spacers through backbone.js and jQuery at that project.

But later, I created this library in pure JS (vanilla js).

That how spacers came into existence.

This is the exact point of this project. (y)

hey Jonny,

thank you for the info. It was an error at my end. Now it's fixed.

You can check it out. Let me know your feedback. :)

Thanks.

Apparently, these days, if you make a visual layout editor, you call it no code?

I still think Kelsey Hightower has the only true no code solution

haha, can't agree more with you.

He's the legend. I totally admire his "nocode" tool.

But this library is not a no-code tool but "for" no-code tools.

No code tools are made with code

Is there any no-code tool that's powerful enough to build itself (self-compilation)?
Re:Show HN: SpacersJS – My first JavaScript Library for no-c... by actuallyakash on Wednesday July 14, 2021 @10:19AM (#27833297)
@kbelder,

this will probably clear up any confusion you have:

haha, that's a fact.

but this library helps you to make those no-code tools.
