When to use it

•You need to build a web application but don't have extensive coding knowledge
•You want to rapidly prototype and test a React application without writing code
•You're looking for a no-code solution to build a web application with a React-based frontend

Quick start

1Run 'puck init' to create a new Puck project
2Open the Puck editor by running 'puck start' and navigate to http://localhost:3000 in your browser
3Use the visual editor to drag and drop components, configure layouts, and add functionality to your application
4Save your changes and run 'puck build' to generate the React code for your application
5Use 'puck export' to export your application as a standalone React project

Ready-to-paste prompt

Heads up: Make sure you have Node.js (14 or higher) and npm installed on your system before attempting to install and run Puck, as it relies on these dependencies to function correctly
