Care to install a plugin? Unsure?
What if we told you that a plugin in town lets you convert Figma design into code? Stoked already! Well, that is what we will talk about, right here, right now.
DhiWise ‘Figma-to-Code’ Plugin’ . Yes, that is the name and the crux of this discussion.
But before we get up close and personal with the ‘Figma-to-Code’ Plugin, let us understand why it was needed in the first place.
We know you love DhiWise—the tech stack, easy layouts, smooth API integrations, code collaboration, and everything else. But guess what? We love our clients just as much!
We understand there might be days when you don’t want to log in and develop with help. Maybe you want to dive straight into coding for a new app. Or perhaps you're curious to try a more traditional Android or iOS development approach, just to see how DhiWise has helped you so far. Wink!
Whatever the reason, we’ve got your back and something special to kickstart your standard app development journey.
Introducing DhiWise ‘Figma-to-Code’ plugin—our latest addition that supports your non-DhiWise coding adventures. But why did we create a tool for coding elsewhere?
"There is just one explanation for this, i.e. Customer Experience."
DhiWise Figma to Code Plugin
DhiWise, in its latest release, introduces the Figma-to-Code plugin that instantly converts any design or prototype into ready code. Those familiar with our app development support will appreciate this new feature, as we already offer full code ownership to our clients, no matter what tech stack they use.
This time, we’ve gone a step further by creating a plugin that doesn’t require you to develop an app on DhiWise to get the code. Instead, with a Figma design, you can use the plugin to generate code and build your app anywhere.
Coming to the tech behind the launch, DhiWise ‘Figma-to-Code’ plugin is way simpler than you might think. First, the functioning cannot be any clearer, as you can start with “Figma Dev Mode” - a developer-centric interface designed for inspecting and navigating designs.
Simply log in to the Figma interface, and access any design file, the UI/UX designer in you needs to take charge and for now, we would leave the designing part to the creatives. Next, you can seamlessly switch between Design and Dev Mode as needed. From there, connect to DhiWise and let the magic unfold.
But once you are done with the design or the one-step-further Prototype, you can simply use the plugin to convert the same layout on the screen into production-ready code.
And yes, it’s as simple as that.
But then, if you are interested in the specifics and nitty-gritty of this approach, here is something that you should deservedly know.
This Figma-to-Code plugin is meant for the apps with frontend access and therefore would make sense to the React, React Native, Next.js, HTML, Flutter, iOS, and Android (Kotlin) powered app development strategies and not the backend tech stack.
Connect DhiWise Plugin
As far as the conversions i.e., Design-to-Code are concerned, DhiWise intelligently identifies every element of the design and preps the same up into ready code.
UI Components
You can directly view and download the code in a Zip file in DhiWise. Moreover, you can export the code for selected screens in your device and customize it later.
View and Download Code
Most importantly, the supplied .env file is compatible with the IDE of choice and gives you an edge even when you aren’t developing the app in DhiWise. Inventive, isn’t it?
The platform ensures the generation of clean, reusable code adhering to a well-structured architecture. It allows you to preview all application screens across devices, providing an opportunity to verify designs seamlessly. Access the complete source code with a simple click on Sync or Download ensuring efficiency and precision in your development process.
Check Your Design in Action
“Lead the charge with Unmatched Development Speed!”
As a developer, you’ve likely encountered tools claiming to simplify your workflow. But what sets DhiWise apart? Why is it the go-to solution for modern app development? Let’s break it down:
Unlike generic tools, DhiWise integrates its custom VisionAI models and 2000+ in-house algorithms to analyze and generate code for even the most complex UI components—like sliders, nested tables, or intricate footer links. This hybrid approach ensures your code aligns perfectly with your designs.
DhiWise prioritizes maintainability. Its generated code is structured for scalability, with modular components, reusable styles, and adherence to principles like DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself). Developers can jump in without untangling spaghetti code. 🍝
DhiWise caters to web and mobile app developers, offering:
(<header>, <footer>), responsive CSS configurations, and frameworks like CRA, Webpack, or Vite. Choose between JavaScript or TypeScript, and style with TailwindCSS, CSS, or ChakraUI.From code generation to deployment, DhiWise ensures a seamless process:
DhiWise doesn’t box you into a rigid workflow. You get to:
DhiWise isn’t just about automation; it’s about empowering developers:
While at DhiWise we take pride in offering an accurate code view of every Figma component, there might be an odd moment when the plugin identifies one view component as something else. But don’t fret and lose sleep over this minor glitch, which is pure conjecture.
You can always migrate the Figma design to DhiWise platform and view every component on the UI Builder. And if you find any view component to be wrongly declared, DhiWise GUI lets you fix it, in a heartbeat. And yes, the descriptive code view is still waiting for you at the end of the road.
Good Ol’ Days, ain’t it!To sum it up, DhiWise ‘Figma-to-Code’ plugin isn’t your standard browser plugin that eats into your system memory. Instead, it is a standard Figma inclusion that instantly lets you convert the design into ready code. And the code you get can be worked upon rather extensively, courtesy of the highest possible quality.
Still unsure about adopting this plugin? First, get a front-seat view of how the plugin-generated code looks by building your first application on DhiWise. And if you find it up to the snuff, start using the plugin immediately and develop an app on your own. Simple…
Tired of manually designing screens, coding on weekends, and technical debt? Let DhiWise handle it for you!
You can build an e-commerce store, healthcare app, portfolio, blogging website, social media or admin panel right away. Use our library of 40+ pre-built free templates to create your first application using DhiWise.
