It's great to see more libraries that deal with rendering JSONSchema. I've been working on a drag and drop formbuilder / grid [0] for creating crud apps that leverages react-jsonschema-form.[1]

I noticed that while I create custom rails apps for clients, they often want to create additional forms and still leverage the authentication, permissions, and existing data in the app. This rules out most 3rd party form builders like typeform, jotform etc. which are mostly for surveys anyway. Sometimes the dev time to create them(UI, DB migrations, testing, validations) is too costly for an idea they just want to test.

So, I use the builder to create a JSON Schema, then embed the form into the rails app. What's cool is that I can utilize permissions from the core app to disable certain fields, and I can pass in enum values so drop downs have up-to-date options pulled right from the DB.

We use react-jsonschema-form, but the jsonschema we produce could be used in any of the tools mentioned in this thread.

I'm close to opening this up to other devs soon, and would love your feedback. There's a signup form on the website if you're interested.

Signed up for alpha. Definitely sparked my curiosity regarding the type of client needs you encounter for things like form builders.

We are currently working on our own visual app builder, starting out with Vue/Vuetify. Demo:
