ReacType is a React prototyping tool that allows users visualize their application architecture dynamically, employing an interactive drop and drag display with real-time component code preview and a collaboration room that features live video and chat functionality. Generated code 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!

-
Note that DEV_PORT and NODE_ENV flag (=production or development) are needed in the .env file.
-
Please note that the development build is not connected to the production server.
npm run devshould spin up the development server from the server folder of this repo. 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.) -
If there are any errors on spin-up related to MONGO_DB, GITHUB_CLIENT, GITHUB_SECRET, GOOGLE_CLIENT, GOOGLE_SECRET, and SESSION_SECRET, those variables will have to be added to the .env file.
