UI Docs Indexes
UI Docs Indexes are specifically designed to integrate your UI component library documentation into PureCode AI. This feature streamlines the process of generating and customizing UI components by providing immediate access to your design system's guidelines and examples.
How to Use:
Access Settings:
Navigate to PureCode AI's settings by clicking on the extension icon and selecting "Settings" right below chat area.
Add UI Documentation:
Here, you can add entries by specifying the component name and providing a URL to its documentation or by pasting the relevant content directly. Including example usage and a list of available properties (props) will enhance the AI's ability to generate accurate code snippets.
Examples:
Standardizing UI Component Usage:
Scenario: Your team follows a design system with reusable UI components.
Action: Document each component's usage guidelines, variations, and code snippets in UI Docs Indexes.
Benefit: Ensures consistent application of design standards and accelerates UI development.
Facilitating Responsive Design Implementation:
Scenario: Developing UI components that need to be responsive across different devices.
Action: Store responsive design guidelines and media query examples in UI Docs Indexes.
Benefit: Quick reference to best practices for responsive design, improving user experience across devices.
Managing Third-Party Service Guidelines:
Scenario: Your application integrates with multiple third-party services like payment gateways or messaging platforms.
Action: Store the integration guidelines and best practices in Docs Indexes.
Benefit: Instant reference to integration steps and troubleshooting tips, streamlining the development process.
Documenting Component Variants and States:
Scenario: Working with UI components that have multiple states (e.g., hover, active, disabled).
Action: Detail each variant and state with visual examples and code in UI Docs Indexes.
Benefit: Clear understanding of component behaviors, leading to more intuitive and consistent UI interactions.
Documenting a Customizable Alert Component:
Scenario: Your project includes a customizable alert component designed to display various types of messages (e.g., success, error, warning, info) with adjustable properties such as duration, position, and animation.
Action: Add the "Alert/Customizable" component to UI Docs Indexes, providing a comprehensive link to the design system documentation. This documentation should detail the component's usage, list all configurable properties (e.g., message type, display duration, position on screen, animation effects), and include styling guidelines that align with the project's design aesthetics.
Benefit: By referencing this well-documented component, PureCode AI can generate code snippets that matches to your project's design specifications, ensuring consistency across your application. This approach minimizes the need for manual adjustments, accelerates development, and maintains a cohesive user interface.
Benefits
Efficient Component Generation: Facilitates quick generation and customization of UI components by referencing your design system directly within the coding environment.
Centralized Access: Keeps essential documentation and UI guidelines within easy reach, reducing the time spent searching for external resources.
Consistency in Design: Ensures that the components generated align with your project's design standards, maintaining visual and functional consistency across your application.
