LowCodeEngine

An enterprise-class low-code technology stack for scale-out design

English | 简体中文

✨ Features

• 🌈 An extension-oriented kernel engine extracted from an enterprise-level low-code platform, pursuing the design concept of the smallest kernel and the strongest ecology
• 📦 Out-of-the-box high-quality ecological elements, including material systems, setters, plugins, etc.
• ⚙️ A complete tool chain, supporting the full-link R&D cycle of ecological elements such as material systems, setters, and plug-ins
• 🔌 Powerful expansion capability, has supported nearly 100 various vertical low-code platforms
• 🛡 Developed with TypeScript, providing complete type definition files

🎯 Compatible Environments

• Modern browsers (Chrome >= 80, Edge >= 80, last 2 safari versions, last 2 firefox versions)

📚 Engine Protocol

The engine fully implements the "Alibaba Mid-Backend Front-End Basic Construction Protocol Specification" and "Alibaba Mid-Backend Front-End Material Protocol Specification". The protocol stack is a key part of whether materials in the low-code field can be circulated.

🌰 Usage example

npm install @alilc/lowcode-engine --save-dev

TIPS: Only cdn import is supported, npm package is used to provide code hinting capabilities such as typings

import { init, skeleton } from '@alilc/lowcode-engine';

skeleton.add({
  area: 'topArea',
  type: 'Widget',
  name: 'logo',
  content: YourFantaticLogo,
  contentProps: {
    logo:
      'https://img.alicdn.com/tfs/TB1_SocGkT2gK0jSZFkXXcIQFXa-66-66.png',
    href: '/',
  },
  props: {
    align: 'left',
    width: 100,
  },
});

init(document.getElementById('lce'));

Engineering configuration:

{
  "externals": {
    "@alilc/lowcode-engine": "var window.AliLowCodeEngine",
    "@alilc/lowcode-engine-ext": "var window.AliLowCodeEngineExt"
  }
}

cdn optional method:

Method 1: alifd cdn

https://alifd.alicdn.com/npm/@alilc/[email protected]/dist/js/engine-core.js

https://alifd.alicdn.com/npm/@alilc/[email protected]/dist/js/react-simulator-renderer.js

Method 2: unpkg

https://unpkg.com/@alilc/[email protected]/dist/js/engine-core.js

https://unpkg.com/@alilc/[email protected]/dist/js/react-simulator-renderer.js

Method 3: jsdelivr

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@alilc/[email protected]/dist/js/engine-core.js

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@alilc/[email protected]/dist/js/react-simulator-renderer.js

Method 4: Use your own cdn

Pass the files under packages/engine/dist and packages/(react|rax)-simulator-renderer/dist in the source code to your cdn provider

💻 Local debugging

$ git clone [email protected]: alibaba/lowcode-engine.git
$ cd lowcode-engine
$ npm install
$ npm run setup
$ npm start

📢 npm access speed is slow, Alibaba employees can use tnpm, other students recommend using cnpm or specifying a mirror registry.

📢 node version limited to 14

📢 Windows environment must use WSL, other terminals are not guaranteed to work normally

After lowcode-engine is started, several umd files are provided, which can be debugged in combination with the lowcode-demo project. Refer to the file proxy rules [here](https:/ /www.yuque.com/lce/doc/glz0fx).
