NGX View Builder is a visual, drag-and-drop form and view builder for Angular. Design forms, dashboards, and data tables as JSON in a low-code builder, and render them natively with a full Angular runtime.
I started building NGX View Builder because one of the projects at my company needed dynamic, JSON-driven forms with drag-and-drop editing. The original idea was to build an in-house form builder, but once we estimated the scope, we realized it was much bigger than expected. The company chose an existing solution instead.
That made me wonder could I build something like this myself?
I started on January 21 2024, working on it in my free time after work, on weekends, and during holidays. Along the way I rewrote the project three times. The first two versions were mostly R&D, helping me figure out the architecture and what a builder like this actually needs.
Using the commercial builder at work every day also showed me what was missing, and many of those ideas ended up in NGX View Builder.
The goal was never just another form builder. I wanted something that integrates directly into an Angular application, stores everything as JSON in your own database, and is designed to be extended with custom elements, plugins, themes, REST integrations, and business logic.
The most challenging part was building the expression system, especially making calculations work correctly across dynamic tables and panels with all their state changes and dependencies.
After about two and a half years of work, this is the result. I'd genuinely love to hear what Angular developers think. What would you want to see in a tool like this?
What's the one workflow where you think developers become dramatically faster instead of just writing less code?
A solid step up from hand-coding reactive forms. One thing that would make this stick for me is a built-in validation rule library with visual error messages, so non-developers can actually ship polished forms instead of just basic inputs.
Dragging components together and seeing the JSON update live felt pretty slick. Rendering them as real Angular components without extra wrappers is a nice touch.
Tried it out on a simple dashboard and the drag-and-drop felt surprisingly snappy. Love that the output is just JSON, makes it easy to tweak things by hand when needed.
Finally an Angular form builder that doesn't feel like a toy. The JSON-to-native-render approach is basically the right call for teams already deep in Angular, and the drag-and-drop actually respects your component model instead of forcing some half-broken abstraction on top of it.
