ReacType

ReacType is a rapid prototyping tool that allows users visualize their application architecture dynamically, employing a drag-and-drop canvas display and an interactive, real-time component code preview that can be exported as a React app for developers employing React component architecture alongside the comprehensive type-checking of TypeScript. In other words, you can draw prototypes and export React / TypeScript code!

  • Open the project directory.
  • Install dependencies.
npm install
  • To run the production build
npm run prod
  • To run tests
npm run test
  • To run the development build
npm run dev

  • Note that a .env with DEV_PORT, and a NODE_ENV flag (=production or development) are needed.

For additional information, the readme is here. Alternatively, you can select "Continue as guest" on the login page of the app, which will not use any features that rely on the server (authentication and saving project data.)
