## 🚀 Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
### Create Your First Component
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create folder:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p packages/my_package/component
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Create `metadata.json`:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"entityType": "component",
|
||||
"description": "My components",
|
||||
"components": [{ "id": "comp_my_button", "name": "My Button" }]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Create `components.json`:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
[
|
||||
{
|
||||
"id": "comp_my_button",
|
||||
"name": "My Button",
|
||||
"category": "form",
|
||||
"template": {
|
||||
"type": "Button",
|
||||
"props": { "variant": "{{variant}}" },
|
||||
"children": "{{label}}"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"props": { "label": "Click Me", "variant": "primary" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Use in page:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "comp_my_button",
|
||||
"props": { "label": "Save" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
5. Bootstrap:
|
||||
```bash

## 🛠️ Key Tools & Files
|
||||
|
||||
### Component Registry
|
||||
**File**: `/frontends/nextjs/src/lib/fakemui-registry.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
Type-safe registry of all 151+ fakemui components:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { FAKEMUI_REGISTRY, getFakemUIComponent } from '@/lib/fakemui-registry'
|
||||
|
||||
const Button = getFakemUIComponent('Button')
|
||||
const formComponents = FAKEMUI_CATEGORIES['form']
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### JSON Renderer
|
||||
**File**: `/frontends/nextjs/src/lib/packages/json/render-json-component.tsx`
|
||||
|
||||
Renders JSON component definitions to React:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { renderJSONComponent } from '@/lib/packages/json/render-json-component'
|
||||
|
||||
export default async function Page() {
|
||||
const component = await db.components.findOne({ id })
|
||||
return renderJSONComponent(component, props)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Example Components
|
||||
**File**: `/packages/ui_home/component/ui-components.json`
