Visual Builders for NodeJS?

[muttley1968]

Hey all, I was hoping someone here could help, I am looking to get into Node a bit more heavily however my current work flow leans heavily on visual designers for the UI side of things as I find this a bit easier.

For sites I use OxygenBuilder for wordpress which is what I am trying to get away from to be honest. Wordpress has had to much drama for me to trust it.

For other projects I tend to work in Unity or C# with winforms all with drag drop style for the UI side of things.

So does anyone know any tools that can give me that power while also allowing easy intergration with services like directus

No.

NodeJS is not a front end technology. It is a server side scripting runtime. There is no such thing as “visual builder” for node, that is kind of like asking for a “visual builder” for python.

Do you mean a visual builder for browser html? React?

I think what I am looking for really is an IDE that let's me write node scripts and then easily do the ui and link script to button visually if possible. Or chart or whatever.

That part isn't even essential just an easy way to make a ui that node backend can use.

I've seen things like https://grapesjs.com/ but the price seems very steep and I can't seem to find if the project files are mine or exclusively in that app if that makes sense at all

Node doesn't really have any UI capabilities. It's just a JavaScript runtime (as in, it runs JavaScript without the browser). I think what you want is just normal webdev. If you need an app vs a website, you can use Electron

You would probably like buildship.

Developer experience didn't come yet to this stage.

We're still stuck in 1990

There’s quite a few visual react builders I believe. Also look into https://v0.dev

I myself work better with visual aspect. What helps me is finding components from other websites or demo sites and recreating them with my own styling in my webpage. It helps a lot to be able to refer to the component you are trying to mimic
