The full-stack framework you build visually
Define an entity once โ Loopar generates the database, REST API, forms and views. Drag, drop, deploy. No boilerplate, no glue code.
npx loopar-install my-project
Visual Development
Drag. Drop. Deploy.
Build complete applications without writing boilerplate. The visual builder lets you design models, pages and entire workflows by dragging components onto a canvas โ and you keep full code access the moment you need it. What used to take days now takes minutes.
โ No-code for speed โ full-code for control
โ Clean MVC separation that scales with your team
โ Self-recursive core โ Loopar is built with Loopar
How it works
From visual design to a running application
You design. Loopar parses your definitions, scaffolds every layer and serves the result โ a real, production-ready app.
1 ยท Define
Model entities, pages and workflows visually โ or in JSON.
2 ยท Generate
The engine scaffolds the schema, API, forms, views and controllers.
3 ยท Run
Ship it โ routing, SSR, auth and multi-tenancy are already wired up.
One definition
The anatomy of an Entity
An Entity is the master builder. From a single JSON definition, Loopar produces every layer your app needs โ and you can extend any of them.
๐ You write this
{
"name": "Customer",
"module": "CRM",
"fields": [
{ "name": "name", "type": "Data" },
{ "name": "email", "type": "Email" },
{ "name": "status", "type": "Select",
"options": ["Lead", "Active", "Inactive"] }
]
}
