CubeDex Editor

A standalone, browser-based editor for Cubedex algorithm libraries.

Open CubeDex-Editor.html in a modern browser (Chrome or Edge recommended) and load a Cubedex JSON export. You can browse, add, rename, reorder, move, and delete sets, subsets, and algorithms, then export the library back to JSON.

Live editor

Use it directly in your browser: https://ajgdsn.github.io/cubedex-editor/

The site is published from the main branch with GitHub Pages. To use the editor offline, download CubeDex-Editor.html and open it locally.

Features

• Puzzle-aware navigation — 3×3, 2×2, 4×4, 5×5, Pyraminx, and Megaminx each get their own library view.
• Correct key handling — new sets automatically receive the right puzzle prefix, and renaming a set keeps its prefix intact.
• Move sets between puzzles — converts an unprefixed 3×3 key to a prefixed key (and back) without editing JSON by hand.
• Search across every puzzle — click a result to jump straight to that set and subset.
• Drag and drop — reorder sets, subsets, and algorithms.
• Safe round-tripping — export keeps every loaded key, including sets on puzzles that are not currently selected.
• Import validation — rejects files that do not match the Cubedex library shape.

Cubedex library format

A Cubedex library is one flat JSON object:

{
  "PLL": [
    {
      "subset": "Adjacent Corners",
      "algorithms": [
        { "name": "T Perm", "algorithm": "(R U R' U') ..." }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "2x2x2:CLL": [ ... ],
  "pyraminx:Last Layer": [ ... ]
}

The puzzle is encoded in the set key:

Puzzle	Key prefix	Example
3×3	none	PLL
2×2	2x2x2:	2x2x2:CLL
4×4	4x4x4:	4x4x4:PLL Parity
5×5	5x5x5:	5x5x5:Last Two Edges
Pyraminx	pyraminx:	pyraminx:Last Layer
Megaminx	megaminx:	megaminx:OLL
Square-1	square1:	legacy libraries only

The prefix is recognised only when it exactly matches a known puzzle ID; otherwise the whole key is treated as a 3×3 set name. This mirrors the upstream puzzles.ts implementation.

Notes

• This is an unofficial companion tool, not part of the Cubedex application.
• The editor is a single HTML file and runs entirely in the browser; nothing is uploaded.
• If Cubedex adds another puzzle ID in future, add it to the PUZZLES list near the top of the editor script.
