Fabricator is a Node.js tool for building website UI toolkits and generating style guides from component code. It uses Gulp, Handlebars, and BrowserSync to provide an optimized build pipeline and rapid prototyping workflow for design systems.

Use cases

• build a custom UI toolkit for a client project
• generate a style guide from component code
• document a design system with markdown
• prototype frontend components quickly
• create tiny bootstraps for every client

When to choose

• you need a bespoke UI toolkit and living style guide for a client
• you want a Gulp-based build with Handlebars templating and BrowserSync live reload
• you prefer organizing your design system with your own taxonomy

When to avoid

• you want a modern toolchain with active maintenance and current dependencies
• you prefer component-driven frameworks like Storybook or Style Dictionary
• your stack is not Node.js/Gulp based
