Chai Builder is an Open Source Low Code React + Tailwind CSS Visual Builder. It allows you to create web pages visually by dragging and dropping elements onto the canvas. It is a simple React component that renders a full-fledged visual builder into any React application.
Step 1: Install the packages
npm install @chaibuilder/sdk @chaibuilder/runtime tailwindcss
Step 2: Add a custom tailwind config.
Create a new file: tailwind.chaibuilder.config.ts
.
Pass the path to your source files.
import { getChaiBuilderTailwindConfig } from "@chaibuilder/sdk/tailwind";
export default getChaiBuilderTailwindConfig(["./src/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}"]);
Step 3: Create a new chaibuilder.tailwind.css
@config "./tailwind.chaibuilder.config.ts";
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;
Step 4: Add the builder to your page.
import "./chaibuilder.tailwind.css";
import "@chaibuilder/sdk/styles";
import {loadWebBlocks} from "@chaibuilder/sdk/web-blocks";
import { ChaiBuilderEditor } from "@chaibuilder/sdk";
loadWebBlocks();
const BuilderFullPage = () => {
return (
<ChaiBuilderEditor
blocks={[{_type: 'Heading', _id: 'a', content: 'This is a heading', styles: '#styles:,text-3xl font-bold'}]}
onSave={async ({ blocks, providers, brandingOptions } ) => {
console.log(blocks, providers, brandingOptions );
return true
}}
/>
);
}
export default () => {
return <RenderChaiBlocks blocks={blocks}/>
}
