Another one #375
Description
Hello, found your designer today, looks nice.
We've also created one https://github.com/node-projects/web-component-designer-zpl-demo
but your's looks nicer.
But our's for example supports a split view where you can see ZPL code and the UI at the same time.
Maybe it is also interesting for you

Thanks for the note, and for pointing me at yours.
I have something similar already: a ZPL panel below the canvas that shows the generated code live.
Your editable side-by-side view is a nice touch though. Something like that is on my list. I haven't settled on how I'd approach it yet.

I've added the functionality to show/hide parts of a label, they are then inserted as base64 encoded comment in the label.
Maybe also usefull for yours.

Thanks, the first suggestion is in: 0.4.0 ships an editable side-by-side ZPL view.
I gave the second idea some more thought as well. It's a clever solution, but I don't think it's the right fit for ZPLab. ZPLab has a separate project format, so designer-only state can live at the project level instead of being embedded into the ZPL.
The idea did point me in the right direction, though. I'm improving how that state is preserved when editing the ZPL source, so hidden objects survive source edits.
