Hi, guys

Could you please explain why it is not possible to use regular HTML in the dashboard? I am not referring to CustomBoard here. Every time I develop a panel with multiple elements, I have to use constructs like Row:: and html::, and it feels like a guessing game to achieve the desired layout. This additional layer, which seems unnecessary to me, might be straightforward for the person who created it, but it is quite challenging for me.

For instance, aligning text to the left of the panel and placing two buttons side by side on the right is a simple task that I can accomplish in a minute using HTML. However, achieving the same layout in the dashboard takes me at least half an hour, causing significant frustration.

Therefore, I kindly request the option to use regular HTML on dashboard pages, perhaps in the form of templates or some other solution. This would greatly enhance usability and efficiency.

Alternatively, could you develop a converter that transforms the HTML I want to achieve into a set of instructions that the dashboard understands?

Finally, my question is how to accomplish the following:

<div class="container py-5">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col d-flex justify-content-between">
                <span>Left aligned text</span>
                <div>
                    <button class="btn btn-primary mr-1">Button 1</button>
                    <button class="btn btn-secondary">Button 2</button>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

It may be very simple, but my attempts to achieve the desired result have failed. It completely discourages me from continuing.

well, thank you

you use very direct approach but when do I have to use Inline class and width properties...

but it should be dashboard's buttons with dashboard's server actions - can I change it with your button class something like this:

Button::create('ordersBackButton')
                                            ->action('submit', function ($request, $response) {
                                                $this->sibling('myFlexView')->historyBack();
                                            }),
                                        ]),

how to use the dashboard buttons in the last example?

ok. thank you.

But my suggestions still stands. I have always liked your product for its simplicity and ease of use. Therefore, when I discovered that HTML content must be specified in an array using special classes, I was a little surprised. The approach of the classic koolreport's view is closer to me. :-))

I believe they can :-) thank you

BDW I cannot just change Html::button to Button class.

If I want to keep the layout of the elements in one row, I have to add the Inline and place the button objects in it.

Html::div()->sub([
                          Inline::create()->sub([
                         Button::create('Button1')
                          ->type('secondary')
                            ->text('Button1')
                            ->action('submit', function ($request, $response) {
                             //action
                             }),
                              Button::create('Button2')
                             ->type('secondary')
                               ->text('Button2')
                                ->action('submit', function ($request, $response) {
                                   //action
                                 }),

                          ]),
             ]),

However, it is not entirely obvious why Html::span("Left aligned text")] should NOT be included in the `Inline' class ] even if it is in the same line with the buttons.

This is what I meant when I said that it is often not obvious exactly how to use your containers.

Perhaps this problem will disappear with experience, but for now it requires additional effort. And I think it is needed more detailed documentation with examples in style "if you want this do this..."

thank you
