Converting designs into functional React code is a pivotal step that often comes with challenges such as misinterpretation, inefficiency, and inconsistency. Emerging technologies like UXPin’s Merge aim to streamline this antiquated process by facilitating a code-to-design workflow, allowing you to design with React components. Key takeaways: Design with React code using an intuitive design interface

HTML is a markup language while React is a JavaScript library. Both are used in front-end development and you might have heard about them while designing websites or web apps. Without further ado, let’s see what’s the difference between HTML and React. Key takeaways: Create React app design much faster with UXPin. Bring real React

The global design system’s community, Into Design Systems, hosted a webinar in July 2023 where guest speaker Marcel Bertram talked about “Systematic Design With Code.” Marcel made some interesting comparisons about designing using vector-based vs. code-based design tools and how organizations can use the latter to create a single source of truth. Into Design Systems

Figma Component Libraries are a great way to create and share reusable UI elements with team members. Designers can use Figma components to build user interfaces and prototypes, and they help to maintain consistency across projects. However, Figma Component Libraries have some limitations, such as the inability to create interactive prototypes. UXPin Merge is a

MUI (Material-UI) is a widely-used React UI framework built on Google’s Material Design principles, empowering organizations with customizable components and styles to align with brand standards. This article delves deep into its MUI for Figma’s capabilities and limitations. We also explore the alternative approach of integrating MUI with UXPin’s Merge technology, including a real-world example

The transition from design to code is a challenge for many product teams. Figma is the cornerstone of many design processes, but translating its visual elements into interactive React components is a complex and often tense task for designers and developers. Let’s explore the Figma-to-React conversion process, evaluate top plugins, and unveil an alternative to

Material UI, developed and maintained by MUI, is a popular React component library that implements Google’s Material Design guidelines. It offers a comprehensive set of reusable and customizable components, such as buttons, cards, menus, form elements, predefined styles, and themes. The library promotes a modular and structured approach to building user interfaces, enabling developers to

UXPin Merge provides developers, UX designers, and product teams with an intuitive user interface to prototype and test using ReactJS components. The drag-and-drop workflow is the perfect environment for rapid React prototyping–even for non-designers or those without design tool skills. Payment giant PayPal and startup TeamPassword both have non-designers building and testing prototypes in UXPin.
Building scalable React applications from scratch is a challenging, resource-hungry endeavor. Fluent UI React, and MUI streamline this process by giving product teams comprehensive UI libraries to design, prototype, test, and develop high-quality, scalable digital products faster. We explore these popular open-source ReactJS UI libraries in 2023 and why you might choose Fluent UI or

Many teams envision creating a design system as a difficult, time-consuming project. It forces team members to audit their user interface, create a repository of design system elements and design guidelines and combine it in a way it’s usable for the entire organization It’s not the only way you structure a design system, though. There

The standard product design workflow is that designers create prototypes in a vector-based tool and convert them to code. Your design starts as an image and then needs to be translated into code to make it functional. Is there an alternative to that approach? One that would allow you to start with code? Code-to-design process

ReactJS is the most popular front-end library in the world. The library’s component-based methodology allows the development team to build and reuse components throughout a project, resulting in less programming from scratch and faster development. We’ve put together 15 ReactJS websites and web apps to demonstrate what’s possible with this versatile framework. We also showcase

Design-to-code is a familiar workflow. Designers create a prototype using a design tool, and developers convert it to code–a simplified version of the standard product development process. UXPin Merge turns this process upside down with a revolutionary code-to-design workflow. This article explains code to design and how it enhances the product development process with four

Just completed the final iteration of your prototype? Great! Let’s send the design to the development team, so they can translate it to code. Here the question pops up: is design to code really the best direction you can hope for? Actually, there’s a second model of working: pushing code to design and working with
