Utopia, a visual design tool for React, with code as the source of truth
4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Jun 2021

I was planning on building something similar. My first attempt involved trying to get grapesjs to work with react. This attempt was very cumbersome because grapesjs generated html, and I would try to manipulate the html into react.

Later however, I discovered craft.js, which is basically a framework for creating systems similar to this (page/component editors). Craft.js was inspired by grapesjs, but is specifically made for react.

Of course craft.js only solves the UI editor, not the code parsing/generation part. Babel is an obvious choice for code generation/manipulation, but I found its imperative approach unnecessarily complicated, so I built react-ast to enable declarative and composable code generation using react.

The part I had not figured out was using the code as the source of truth for the editor and syncing it back. I definitely thought about it a lot, but postponed solving it since I had more pressing problems.
So, I have a lot of curiosity about this project. How does it work? And how does it stack up against a technology like craft.js? I noticed it’s not using craft.js, so I’m guessing the developers rolled their own equivalent.
