fabrix

Fabrix is a framework for building React applications that are backed by GraphQL backend. With fabrix, React components are generated from queries and mutations and automatically rendered with the data fetched from the GraphQL server.

Consider the component in the Star Wars application that displays information of a character:

const Character = (id: string) => 
  <FabrixComponent 
    query={`
      query getCharacter($id: ID!) {
        character(id: $id) {
          name
          status
          profileImage
        }
      } 
    `}
    variables={{ id }}
  />

According to the query above, fabrix renders components.

Why fabrix?

At Tailor, we frequently build frontend applications with numerous screens and heavy CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, particularly in admin panels and ERP systems.

While generating type definitions and hooks from GraphQL is a common practice in React applications, this approach is often applied on a component-by-component basis. For applications requiring fine-tuned styling and high flexibility, this level of detail is necessary. However, in admin panels and ERP systemswhere functionality and data management are prioritized over intricate stylingthis granularity often becomes a burden.

Fabrix solves this problem by automating the rendering of React components from GraphQL queries and schemas, significantly streamlining the development of complex, data-driven applications.
