PageBuilder
Visual section builder for MODX 3. Draft and publish without overwriting resource content
Section catalog
Built-in blocks for pages in the MODX manager: pick a type, fill fields in the inspector, reorder blocks on the resource.
Each section has its own page: why to use the block, where to place it, example section order on a page, and similar alternatives.
The key is passed to the PageBuilder snippet and document JSON. Register custom types via CMP (Pro) or a plugin on pbOnRegisterSectionDefinitions.

Commerce sections require miniShop3. Without the package, SectionRequirementChecker removes them from the catalog. Override the check via pbOnCheckSectionRequirement.
Product sections (products_grid, product_spotlight, promo_banner) are rendered by msProducts. Categories are rendered by pdoResources with class msCategory.
