Drag and drop page building with your code components. Bring your design systems to life!

import { Builder } from '@builder.io/react'
 
// Register our heading component for use in 
// the visual editor
const Heading = props => (
  <h1 className={style}>{props.title}</h1>
)
 
Builder.registerComponent(Heading, { 
  name: 'Heading',
  inputs: [{ name: 'title', type: 'text' }]
})

import { BuilderComponent } from '@builder.io/react'
 
// Include this in your app, and Builder.io will render  
// the matching page by the current document's URL. Scroll 
// down for more advanced options and examples
export default let BuilderPage = () => (
  <BuilderComponent model="page" />
)

This repo houses all of the various SDKs, usage examples, starter projects, and plugins

Try out a live demo of our Storybook example or use our Storybook addon with your own components, refer to our design systems example for lots of examples using your deisgn system + custom components + storybook.

npm install @builder.io/react

Grab a free account at builder.io and find your API key

Next, create a new page in Builder with URL /something and publish it.

Then, in your code:

import { builder, BuilderComponent } from '@builder.io/react';

builder.init(YOUR_KEY);

And in your router

<Route path="/something" render={() => <BuilderComponent model="page" />}>

Create a new page with url "/something" in Builder and change the preview URL to localhost:port/something (e.g. localhost:8888/something if your dev server is on port 8888) and edit!

See more info on setting up your preview urls here.

Also, see the full React API here

See this design systems example for lots of examples using your deisgn system + custom components + storybook

👉Tip: want to limit page building to only your components? Try components only mode

Register a component

import { Builder } from '@builder.io/react';

class SimpleText extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <h1>{this.props.text}</h1>;
  }
}

Builder.registerComponent(SimpleText, {
  name: 'Simple Text',
  inputs: [{ name: 'text', type: 'string' }],
})

Then back at your page

import './simple-text'

// ...

<Route path="/something" render={() => <BuilderComponent model="page">}>

Open the dashboard and use it!

See our docs site for additional help and information, or contact us if you run into any issues or questions!

For lots of examples of using React components in Builder, see the source for our built-in Builder blocks here and widgets here

👉Tip: see our guides for Next.js and Gatsby for best support for those frameworks

One of Builder's most powerful features is allowing the creation of new pages for you. See a simple example of how to do this with react-router below:

class CatchAllPage extends Component {
  state = {
    notFound: false,
  };

  render() {
    return !this.props.notFound ? (
      <BuilderComponent
        model="page"
        contentLoaded={content => {
          if (!content) {
            this.setState({ notFound: true });
          }
        }}
      >
        Loading...
      </BuilderComponent>
    ) : (
      <NotFound /> // Your 404 component
    );
  }
}

// Then in your app.js
export default () => (
  <Switch>
    <Route path="/" component={Home} />
    {/* Your other routes... */}
    <Route component={CatchAllPage} />
  </Switch>
);

For more advanced usage, like checking for page existence/404 on the server using the Content API, see our detail landing page docs here or if using Next.js see our docs for that here

Our HTML API works for any site

let page = await request(
  `https://cdn.builder.io/api/v1/html/page?url=${PAGE_URL}&apiKey=${YOUR_KEY}`
);
if (page) {
  let html = page.data.html;
  // Put the html in your page template between your header and footer and you are done!
}
