Creating a development space for your team

You are reading the NextGen Documentation

NextGen widgets are a new and improved way to display UGC content onsite.

From September 23rd 2025, all new widgets created will be NextGen.

Please check your widget version on the Widget List page to see if it is a Classic or NextGen widget.

You can read the Classic Widget Documentation here.

Note: This feature is unique to NextGen widgets

While development of widgets in UGC Widgets 2.0 primarily took place in the browser, NextGen Widget development will primarily take place in the IDE.

As mentioned in the Architecture of widgets, there are two repositories responsible for widget development.

While we encourage contribution to the widget-utils repository, the stackla-widget-templates repository is created for teams to Fork.

Forking allows engineers to utilise our widget templates repository in their own team setting, and allow widgets to be created without sharing them in the UGC repository.

This is the ideal way to encourage your developers to contribute in a linted, typechecked & tested environment.

So what are you waiting for? Click that Fork button and build some amazing widget templates!
