chaicore is the open source ChaiBuilder core, published from github.com/chaibuilder/core. It exports two things:

• <ChaiBuilderEditor /> - the pure, framework agnostic React editor component. Takes blocks in, gives blocks JSON back. No server, no page model.
• <ChaiWebsiteBuilder /> - a basic Next.js website builder built on the editor, with SEO panels, a publish flow, SQLite page storage and page rendering.

See Open Source Core for what the package contains and how it relates to Pro.

Status: no public releases yet

chaicore has not published its first tagged release. This page will carry a versioned entry for every release once it does, in the same format as the chaipro changelog.

If you need the builder today, use chaipro through the starter. The Quickstart covers both onboarding paths.

Unreleased

Work in progress toward the first chaicore release. Nothing here is stable, and none of it is guaranteed to ship in the shape described.

• The editor component and the website builder component, packaged and published as one package with a /nextjs subpackage.
• SQLite page storage and page rendering in the open source line. Postgres stays in Pro.
• Basic in builder AI editing, with your own tools and prompts.

Versioning, once it ships

chaicore will follow semantic versioning. Because the Pro package builds on top of it, each chaipro release will state the chaicore range it requires, and you will not normally install chaicore yourself in a Pro project.
