Generering av grafiska användargränssnitt via en webbapplikation

Abstract

An increasing amount of consumer products get smart functionalities to help people with their everyday life. Graphical user interfaces are used for controlling smart functionality using touchscreens. Developing user interfaces in a programming language can be difficult and time-consuming. The purpose of this degree project is to simplify and speed up the development of graphical user interfaces. A web-application has been developed using React, where users can drag and drop ready-made graphical objects onto a canvas in order to generate graphical user interfaces. Users also have the possibility of saving the generated user interfaces in a lightweight data format. A simple test that was performed showed that using the web-application decreased the development time of graphical user interfaces considerably.
