grid-plan

grid-plan is a Vue3 component to create blueprints for rooms, datacenters, racks, etc.

Create available component types, and place, resize or delete them from the blueprint.

grid-plan ships with:

• config options to customize the looks of your blueprint
• slots to customize icons related to component types

Installation
