Hi devs,
I’m working on a project using one of the KeenThemes frontend templates and I’d like to add a simple text generator feature to a dashboard page. The idea is to let users type a short phrase and instantly see it rendered in a bold visual style without heavy backend logic — similar to lightweight online tools that generate styled text.
For example, I’ve used this basic web tool for quick experiments and UI prototyping: allbratgenerator.com
, it’s just HTML/CSS/JS and outputs stylized text visuals instantly in the browser.
My questions are:
What’s the best way to embed or integrate a client-side generator like this into a KeenThemes layout (especially with Metronic components)?
Should I wrap the generator in a custom plugin/module or place it as a standalone widget inside a card/container?
Any advice on keeping performance responsive when generating many visuals on the fly?
Thanks in advance for your guidance!
Hi
Metronic v8 (Bootstrap) and v9 (Tailwind/KtUI) both have card components and dashboard layouts. Add one card in the right column or section of your dashboard and place your generator’s HTML (input + output element) inside that card. No need to change the main layout structure.
Debounce or throttle the input (e.g. 150–300 ms) so you don’t re-run the generator on every keystroke.
If you share which Metronic version you’re using (v8 Bootstrap or v9 Tailwind), we can point you to the exact card markup.
