React UI Builder

Description

The visual tool for prototyping UI for ReactJS components and Web applications. In the builder you can easily combine available components with each other, and see how they look and feel right on a Web page. Then you can generate a source code of new ReactJS component from the combination.

Tightly integrated with ReactJS Component Exchange. Visit the project gallery for more information.
