Hey, I'm not a dev or anything, but I use listmonk often and wanted to use emailbuilder-js before, and this is a great idea, but emailbuilder is not responsive, or at least not the version on GitHub, could that be fixed in the integration? |

- Add email-builder source - Update yarn lock
- Disable visual templates from being made default. - Refactor visual template selection flow in campaigns. - Hide scroll if templates modal is active. This is to make sure it doesn't flicker when adding blocks in visual-editor.
- Fix merge conflicts. - Simply logic in campaign preview handler. - Remove redundant `GetCampaignForPreviewWithTemplate()` and switch to the old query that optionally takes a template. - Fix Vue linting issues.
- Simplify and fix content conversion between formats. - Fix state management issues. - Rename `Apply` to `Import` on the visual template UI.
…l campaign import.
Unfortunately, the tiny CodeFlask lib stopped getting updates 5+ years ago and is buggy. The attempt to replace it with CodeInput (which itself seems to have several open bugs) failed. So, biting the bullet with CodeMirror, which is a robust, battle tested, albeit large (~300KB) code editor library. This patch replaces all code editor UIs (Campaign, Templates, Settings) with CodeMirror.

This is a mega patch with a massive number of significant, complex changes integrating the visual, drag-and-drop block editor library, email-builder: https://github.com/usewaypoint/email-builder-js It adds a new template type (`visual`) to templates and integrates the editor UI in Admin -> Templates and Admin -> Campaigns UIs. There are changes to templates and campaign APIs, UI flows, and database table schemas. `email-builder` is written in TypeScript and React (eww) and is a massive lib, (2.3MB minified+gzipped), bigger than all of listmonk's own JS and other deps combined, but alas, there is no other viable editor and it has been a popular demand for a long time. So, `email-builder` is built separately, and the static assets are copied along with listmonk's assets. Since it's basically a separate "app" altogether, it's loaded as an iframe on the editor pages, outside of the Vue app. The visual editor integration is courtesy of @vividvilla who did all the R&D and trial and error and sent the original PR to make this possible. I really loathe the Javascript ecosystem. Sigh.
