## Why

React Primer provides a visual representation of your project during the preliminary stages of development, before you write a single line of code.

This simple to use application saves time by generating component files that automatically require and render their child components based on the prototyped hierarchy.

React Primer’s component tree GUI makes it easy to test, edit, and re-export your component tree as many times as needed.
