Abstract

Seeing that coding React-JS can be repetitive and prone to errors like most other programming languages, which makes it a daunting task, Automatic Code Generation (ACG) tools exist to help tackle this. The current model used in most of the ACG tools for React-JS comes up with components which is a fraction of the entire application when it comes to coming up with the entire Create, Retrieve, Update and Delete (CRUD) applications. Developers still need to come up with the logic of how CRUD functionalities will be implemented in the code that was generated by these models. This study seeks to address this gap by proposing an enhanced automatic generating model for Single Page Applications (SPA) in React-JS coined CRUD-Bolt. The study employs the USE questionnaire to test its usability whereby 38 React-JS developers across the globe fill the questionnaire after testing it. The results are imported into Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) to evaluate CRUD-Bolt. The outcome of the study is threefold: achieve an enhanced model coined CRUD-Bolt, make it available to developers, and test its usability via SPSS.
