About BuilderX

BuilderX is a powerful web and app builder tool that allows you to modify code in real-time. It combines design tool features with AI-powered capabilities, enabling you to showcase your creativity while working on live applications.

Features

  • Real-time code modification
  • AI-powered UI component customization

Note: BuilderX is currently in the development phase. Some features may be subject to change.

Requirements

  • Visual Studio Code version 1.92.0 or higher
  • An active internet connection
  • Expo or Next.js project

Installation

1. VS Code Extension

Install the BuilderX extension from the VS Code Marketplace.

2. Project Setup

Choose one of the following installation methods:

Option A: Automatic Installation (Recommended)

Run this command in your project root:

npx @builderx/cli install

Note: This command will modify your project files. Please commit any pending changes before proceeding.

Option B: Manual Installation

If you prefer manual setup or the automatic installation fails, follow these steps:

  1. Install Dependencies

    # For Expo projects
    npm install @builderx/babel-plugin @builderx/bridge --save-dev
    
    # For Next.js projects
    npm install @builderx/next-plugin @builderx/bridge --save-dev
    
  2. Configure Build Settings

    For Expo (babel.config.js):

    module.exports = function(api) {
      api.cache(true);
      return {
        presets: ['babel-preset-expo'],
        plugins: ['@builderx/babel-plugin'],
      };
    };
    

    For Next.js (next.config.js):

    const withBuilderX = require('@builderx/next-plugin');
    
    module.exports = withBuilderX({
      // Your existing Next.js configuration
    });
    
  3. Add Bridge Component

    For Expo (in your main App.js):

    import { Bridge } from '@builderx/bridge';
    
    export default function App() {
      return (
        <>
          <Bridge />
          {/* Your app components */}
        </>
      );
    }
    

    For Next.js (in your layout.js):

    import { Bridge } from '@builderx/bridge';
    
    export default function Layout({ children }) {
      return (
        <>
          <Bridge />
          {children}
        </>
      );
    }

  2. Open the BuilderX panel in VS Code:

    • Use the keyboard shortcut: Cmd+Shift+P (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux)
    • Type BuilderX: Open in the command palette and select it
  3. You can now begin editing your project in real-time using BuilderX.
