RUIG – The Ultimate Drag-and-Drop UI Builder & Code Generator

RUIG (Rapid UI Generator) is a powerful client-based Progressive Web App (PWA) that revolutionizes the way developers design and generate frontend components. With an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, real-time rendering, and full support for npm packages, RUIG provides a seamless, framework-agnostic development experience—all within your browser.

RUIG isn't just for React—it's an extensible platform that allows developers to create plugins that convert designs into multiple frameworks like Preact, Next.js, Vue, standard HTML/CSS/JavaScript, Flask, and more.

🚀 Say goodbye to repetitive coding—design, customize, and export instantly!

⚙️ Example: Convert Design to React

Step 1: Drag UI Elements

Add buttons, forms, modals, etc., and customize properties.

Step 2: Export as React Code

With one click, RUIG generates:

import React, { useState } from "react";

export default function MyComponent() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  return (
    <div className="container">
      <h1>Counter: {count}</h1>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Increment</button>
    </div>
  );
}

Copy & paste it into your React project! 🎉

🛠️ Extending RUIG with Plugins

RUIG’s plugin system allows developers to add new functionalities, such as:
✅ New framework exporters (e.g., Angular, Svelte, Solid.js)
✅ Custom UI libraries (Bootstrap, Tailwind, Material UI, etc.)
✅ Backend integration (Flask, Express, Django, Firebase)
✅ AI-powered auto-design tools

Example: Writing a Plugin to Export Vue Components

RUIG.registerPlugin({
  name: "Export to Vue",
  transform: (uiTree) => {
    return convertToVue(uiTree); // Your conversion logic here
  },
});
