jsonapi-scopes VS openchakra

This looks very interesting... But no tests?

I'm not 100% happy with a project at work, where we're building out a jsonapi from a legacy rails app (part rewrite in-place, part move to react for front-end) - and after setting it up rswag with integration tests generating swagger schemas has been pretty nice. Not quite decided on what I think about activemodel::serializer... But it mostly works, without too much tweaking.

I've also adopted some ideas from:

For filtering/sorting - I think something like it should be in rails, really.

Are you using opencharka[0] then? I investigated that a while ago and was not very impressed or happy with any code that it generated, but curious to see if you've figured something else out.

Do you know of any open source drag and drop builders? I would love to be able to create my own components and drag and drop to combine them. If you know of any that are React specific, that would be great, but any builder would be helpful.

One example that I know of is https://openchakra.app/ for React apps that are using Chakra UI.

The original idea and inspiration for the Crayons Playground came from the full-featured visual editor and code generator for React using Chakra UI called openchakra. All the underlying architecture, code organization and design & communication patterns are borrowed from openchakra. The only difference is Crayons Playground doesn't make use of any JavaScript framework whereas openchakra is completely built using React.

In a nutshell, I wanted to easily add in all the components / design system from Material UI or Ant Design into the drag and drop interface, so I can play around with them, in a way similar to https://openchakra.app/

I started doing some mock-ups in my brain. Then I recreated some of them on Figma and then decided to start building. I started with OpenChakra (because I am using Chakra UI, more on that later).

Would you two be able to share some take-aways from that conversation at some point? Maybe write up a short comparison of the projects as they are now and any differences in roadmap/vision that could be relevant.

I always appreciate when OSS projects put in effort to understand and position themselves in relation to competitors (or potential collaborators).

Also want to mention some open-source React visual drag and drop page editors that might be useful for inspiration or to eliminate possible duplicate work. There's OpenChakra [0] and Blocks [1], which are apps, and then there's craft.js, a library that aims to modularize "the building blocks of a page editor" and seems to have more emphasis on customizing the actual editor UI.

Best of luck to you both!
