## OpenUI Integration [#openui-integration]

Install the OpenUI React packages.

```bash
pnpm add @openuidev/react-lang zod
```

Add `PostCard` to a component library and map it to the installed component.

```tsx showLineNumbers
import { createLibrary, defineComponent } from "@openuidev/react-lang";
import { z } from "zod/v4";

import { PostCard, PostCardContent } from "@/components/ui/post-card";

const OpenUIPostCard = defineComponent({
  name: "PostCard",
  description:
    "Post card with image, title, excerpt, author info and read more button. Supports default, compact, horizontal, and covered variants. Includes post-detail for fullscreen view.",
  props: z.object({}),
  component: () => (
    <PostCard>
      <PostCardContent />
    </PostCard>
  ),
});

export const post_cardLibrary = createLibrary({
  root: "PostCard",
  components: [OpenUIPostCard],
});
```

For richer generated compositions, define the child primitives separately and connect them with `.ref` fields. See [Defining Components](https://www.openui.com/docs/openui-lang/defining-components) in the OpenUI documentation.

## json-render Integration [#json-render-integration]

Install the json-render React packages.

```bash
pnpm add @json-render/core @json-render/react zod
```

Add `PostCard` to a component catalog and map it to the installed component.

```tsx
import { defineCatalog } from "@json-render/core";
import { defineRegistry } from "@json-render/react";
import { schema } from "@json-render/react/schema";
import { z } from "zod";

import { PostCard, PostCardContent } from "@/components/ui/post-card";

export const catalog = defineCatalog(schema, {
  components: {
    PostCard: {
      props: z.object({}),
      description:
        "Post card with image, title, excerpt, author info and read more button. Supports default, compact, horizontal, and covered variants. Includes post-detail for fullscreen view.",
    },
  },
});

export const { registry } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
  components: {
    PostCard: () => (
      <PostCard>
        <PostCardContent />
      </PostCard>
    ),
  },
});
```

Use `catalog.prompt()` to constrain model output, then render the generated spec with the json-render React `Renderer`. See the [json-render Quick Start](https://json-render.dev/docs/quick-start) for the provider and streaming setup.
