I have gone through the Umbraco documentation for creating custom blocks and it says :
1) Within the Umbraco admin panel, if we need to attach a custom view we need to create a html file within the "App_Plugins" folder and attach it to the custom block.
There is an umbraco package which may work for doing your previews in the back office (depending on complexity obviously), but other than yet yes you will need to maintain both backoffic and UI views.
Umbraco Custom block Grid Query
I have gone through the Umbraco documentation for creating custom blocks and it says :
1) Within the Umbraco admin panel, if we need to attach a custom view we need to create a html file within the "App_Plugins" folder and attach it to the custom block.
https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/fundamentals/backoffice/property-editors/built-in-umbraco-property-editors/block-editor/build-custom-view-for-blocks
2) If we need to render the block data on the live site we need to create a partial view under the path "Views/Partials/blockgrid/Components/".
https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/fundamentals/backoffice/property-editors/built-in-umbraco-property-editors/block-editor/block-grid-editor#rendering-block-grid-content
In this way we are maintaining 2 different files for rendering the UI of the single block and will probably maintain 2 different styling files.
Is there a way we can just have a single UI/design/html file and that we can use both on the Umbraco admin side and live site?
