UI Builder
UI Builder (ngx-ui-builder) is an Angular library for creating no-code tools & applications.
The library is developped by Sinequa as a standalone project hosted on GitHub and published on npm. It has a release cycle independent from the SBA framework, and it has its own documentation page and demo application.
The library is used in the Vanilla Builder application to let users customize the standard Vanilla Search User Interface.
The goal of this library is to provide three functionalities:
- The ability to make a User Interface re-configurable by drag-and-dropping its components into "containers" (supporting multiple levels of sub-containers, allowing for arbitrary UI layouts).
- The ability to customize the configuration and styling of the components by clicking on them and editing their properties in a form (including helper components to generate forms easily).
- The ability to save the configuration of the User Interface in a JSON format and to load it back later. The configuration can also be used to generate a "static" Angular application (where the components are in a fixed position and not configurable any more, like in a "normal" Angular application). This "export" is generated by running an Angular schematic in the application workspace (passing the configuration as a JSON file).
Please refer to the UI Builder documentation for more details.
