FAQS​

How does the codebase analysis feature work, and why is it necessary?

The codebase analysis feature scans your existing project's source files to identify frameworks, libraries, and naming conventions. This helps Coding Assistant generate code that aligns with your established structure and style, allowing for seamless integration of new screens with minimal manual adjustments.

What Figma account permissions or configurations are required?

You need an active Figma account with access to the specific design file you want to convert. Coding Assistant will prompt you to select or connect your Figma account. Ensure that any sharing settings in Figma allow for reading the design link (typically "Can view" or higher). No special plugins or additional permissions beyond design access are required.

Which frameworks and state management tools are supported by Coding Assistant?

Coding Assistant supports various frontend and backend frameworks such as React, HTML, Next.js, Flutter, iOS, Android, and React Native.

Can I choose where the generated code files will be saved in my project?

Yes. Once the code is generated, Coding Assistant will prompt you to select a target folder within your project directory, giving you full control over where the new screen files are placed.

What should I do if the generated code doesn't match my coding conventions?

If the generated code style deviates from your project conventions, you can regenerate the code to better meet your standards.

Is there a way to regenerate the screen code if I make design changes in Figma?

Absolutely. Simply repeat the single-screen code generation steps with the updated Figma URL. Coding Assistant will analyze the revised design and produce fresh code. Keep in mind that you'll need to re-apply any customizations made to the previously generated files.

How can I integrate the new screen into my current codebase without conflicts?

After generating the screen code:

  1. Review the new files in your code editor's changes or diff section.

  2. Resolve any naming or structural conflicts by adjusting file names, imports, or references.

  3. Accept or discard code changes as needed.

  4. Test the updated application to ensure everything works as intended. This process ensures a smooth integration and minimal disruption to your existing code.
