📖 Introduction

React-GPT is an experimental application that uses the GPT-4 language model to generate React components from user stories. It is built with React, TailwindCSS, Typescript, Radix UI, Shandcn UI, and OpenAI API.

🚀 Features

• Generate React Components from user stories
• Compose React Components from existing components
• Use a local design system to generate React Components
• Use React, TailwindCSS, Typescript, Radix UI, Shandcn UI
• Built with Atomic Design Principles

🌈 Quickstart

1. Clone repository

git clone git@github.com:tutim-io/react-gpt.git

2. Change to the project directory

cd react-gpt

3. Get an OpenAI API Key
4. Set OPENAI_SECRET_KEY in backend/main .env file (see .env.example) or run the script below

echo OPENAI_SECRET_KEY="INSERT_YOUR_OPENAI_SECRET_KEY_VALUE_HERE" >> backend/main/.env

5. Install dependencies

yarn install

6. Run Backend Script – This script generates the componenets

yarn backend:dev

7. Run Frontend App to see your components in action

yarn frontend:dev

8. Open frontend/main/src/GenReactApp.tsx

Read the instructions and change the example component to the component you generated

9. Read Project Customization Section

Read the Project Customization Section to learn how to customize and operate the project

Component Generation Flow

🛠️ Project Customization

1. Customize workflow:
   • file: backend/main/react-gen/generateComponents.ts
   • description: Can control the flow of the generation process, run step by step or full flow.
2. Render Application
   • file: frontend/main/src/GenReactApp.tsx
   • description: Render the generated application, see examples in the file.
     • use JsonSkeleton to render the skeleton of the page
     • use demo.tsx files to render the demo page
3. Generate React Components
   • folder: create a folder under LOCAL_COMPONENTS_DIR (default frontend/main/src/react-gpt) (see .env.example file)
   • description: Generate a user-story.md file under the folder, make it as detailed as possible.
   • change CONTAINER_PATH in generateComponents.ts to the folder name
   • run the backend script to generate the React Components.
4. Customize Folder Structure (see .env.example file)
   • UI_COMPONENTS_DIR – Where your UI components are located
   • DEMO_COMPONENTS_DIR – Where your UI components demo files are located
   • LOCAL_COMPONENTS_DIR – Where your generated components are located

📦 Next Steps

• Edit existing components
• Test Components after generating
• Wireframe image to skeleton code
• Remote design system to generate React Components
• Use of external libraries
• Component logic control (state, props, context, effects, api calls, etc.)

⚠️ Limitations

• The generated code is not production-ready and should be used for prototyping purposes only.
• Only works well with GPT4, GPT-3.5 is not supported ATM, so make sure you have GPT4 enabled in your OpenAI account.
• The output may come with a few bugs and errors, so it is recommended to review and test the code before using it in a production environment, or even running it in a development environment.
• The first step of the generation process is to convert the user story into a JSON file. This step is not perfect and may result in some inaccuracies or missing information, consider changing the JSON file manually if necessary.
• Advised to run it step by step, and review the generated code after each step.
