Rest/GraphQL APIs + React Components Generator 🔥

Quick Start

• Install the npm module

# install
npm i -g sugar-generate

• Create a json schema save, this to monkey.json

{
  "name": "monkey",
  "schema": {
    "name": {
      "type": "String",
      "default": ""
    },
    "alive": {
      "type": "Boolean",
      "default": false
    },
    "age": {
      "type": "Number",
      "default": false
    }
  }
}

• Generate your api and app

sugar-generate \
--schema monkey.json \
--destination ./my-monkeys

Boom, you now have:

Experimental Embeddable Components

What if you could remotely update your components without having to push new code?

Thats one question we're exploring with the experimental embeddable react components. There are of course cool ways to serve single pages as serverless functions but what's cooler would be a way for even non-technical people to update a database schema and a form or table in real time without writing any code.

• Each component comes out in an embeddable format under /embed
• TBD - How to easily deploy these and use them.
