SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Code generation utilities streamline converting UI specs into production-ready code across frameworks, reducing manual coding and inconsistencies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tree traversal utilities for UI specs, including traverseSpec, collectUsedComponents, collectStatePaths, and collectActions.
  • Serialization helpers for props and values, enabling safe generation of code across languages.
  • Build-custom code exporters and generate framework-specific artifacts from a single spec, supporting Next.js, Remix, and other targets.
  • Use cases: generate component stubs, extract state paths, and export type-safe code.

Quick Start

Generate a Next.js exporter from a sample json-render UI spec to scaffold a project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate code from UI specs for Next.js or Remix?

You can generate framework-specific code from UI specs by using traversal and serialization utilities to map json-render UI trees into production-ready artifacts for Next.js, Remix, or custom pipelines, reducing manual component coding.

What are UI spec tree traversal utilities used for in code generation?

UI spec tree traversal utilities are used to walk json-render UI trees and collect used components, state paths, and actions. This extraction enables type-safe code generation by ensuring all necessary elements are mapped before producing framework-specific code artifacts.

Can I build a custom code exporter for a framework not listed in the metadata?

Yes, you can build custom code exporters for any target framework. The utilities expose core functions like traverseSpec, serializeProps, and GeneratedFile types, enabling you to define component mapping and serialization logic for custom pipelines beyond the provided examples.

How do I serialize props safely when automating code generation?

You serialize props safely during code generation by using dedicated serialization helpers that convert values into safe, type-safe code strings. This ensures that props mapped from UI specs generate valid syntax across different target languages and frameworks.

Does code generation from UI specs require external dependencies?

Code generation from UI specs requires no external dependencies. The utilities operate independently with zero dependencies, allowing you to integrate tree traversal, prop serialization, and type-safe codegen directly into your existing build pipelines without installing additional packages.

What is the best way to extract state paths and component stubs from a UI spec?

The best way to extract state paths and component stubs from a UI spec is by applying traversal functions like collectStatePaths and collectUsedComponents. These utilities walk the json-render tree to isolate structural data, enabling automated generation of component stubs and type-safe code.
