About Frontend Modules

Frontend modules in the Wix JavaScript SDK provide frontend APIs for interacting with Wix sites and their features directly from the browser. Note that frontend modules require Wix hosting and are not available for external hosting environments.

Some functionality may still require using Velo APIs alongside the SDK. For functionality not yet supported by SDK frontend modules, refer to the Velo to SDK API Mapping documentation.

Frontend modules are intended for:

  • Wix site development: Developers building custom functionality within a Wix site environment.
  • Wix app development: Developers creating site extensions for apps that run within a Wix site environment.

Important: Frontend modules are not compatible with Wix Headless projects. For headless implementations, use the appropriate backend modules.

Available environments

Frontend modules can be used in the following environments:

  • Site: For code running on live Wix sites.
  • Dashboard: For custom dashboard pages.
  • Editor: For extending the Wix Editor functionality.
