REACT REPORT BUILDER SOFTWARE

Used for the sidebar to define the menu structure.Components are listed in componentsList.js.This is what creates the 'box' effect and also allows interactivity. Uses a component to wrap all the components dragged and dropped into the editor.

Makes a JSON list of components ( componentsList.js) and uses that to generate the sidebar.

Uses react-dnd for drag and drop effect and adding functionality to components ( useDrag).

So let's check out the breakdown of each project: OpenChakra Sometimes you might have data that just 'appears' in a component and isn't passed down naturally, but that's usually some framework magic (like Gatsby's GraphQL page generation).

Once you're in the component, you can often find everything you need, like imported utilities, hooks, configs, etc.

In this case, they were often a single component I could trace it back to.

From there, I try to find what's rendering the core functionality (aka the drag and drop builder).

But for Blocks UI, it was a monorepo, so I had to find the right package in /packages/ - then it was a Gatsby project.

Otherwise it may be under the main, which will be the root of the app. Sometimes this is listed in the package.json as the start script, often as a framework or library (like Gatsby or Next) which makes it easier to determine the starting point. Next begins the hunt for the 'start' file.In this case, if there was drag and drop involved, react-dnd was found. This usually gives you a great idea of how they handle core functionality. I check out the package.json (or equivalent file like composer.json in PHP) to see what dependencies they're using.

To give you an idea of how I approach this process for a software project: I reverse-engineered each project to see how it worked, and took notes on it.

I already knew about OpenChakra, Blocks UI, and Playroom, so I started there. When you know something already exists, or even if you don't, the best place to often start is research.

Blue bordered components in the preview box represent nestedД¬heck out of the source code here, or read on to discover how I built it. Middle of the screen as a black bordered box that renders a list ofД¬omponents. A small React app that accepts Reacts components to drag and drop into an 'artboard' or 'canvas', and then exports that to React code (or JSX) you can import into your project. So I got to thinking, how would you actually make a UI for building sites with components (like Figma or Sketch) and then export that to code?ДЄnd by thinking, I mean researching, reverse engineering, conceptualizing, and inevitably coding: design-system-builder. With software like OpenChakra, Blocks UI, or even Playroom - we've gotten a taste today of what platforms like Framer, Modulz, and other's have promised to use in an unforeseen future: design to code. Wouldn't it be cool if you could create a website by dragging and dropping pieces of it around? To some it sounds like a green-weaved nightmare, to others it sounds like a proprietary platform - but this fantasy of freedom is becoming closer to being standardized into modern design and development workflows.
