Without the fidelity and functionality of code, image-based prototypes don&#8217;t produce accurate results during usability testing. They often result in design drift and friction with devs during the design handoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With code-based design tools like UXPin, that&#8217;s no longer the case. Designers can create immersive prototypes with fidelity and functionality that accurately represent a fully developed product. You can even personalize the experience, capture data, create functional signup forms, validate passwords, and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article explores some of UXPin&#8217;s advanced features, including States, Variables, Expressions, APIs, and code-like interactions designers can use to create fully functioning prototypes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-code-based-vs-image-based-prototypes\" data-level=\"2\">Code-Based vs. Image-Based Prototypes<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-8-advanced-code-based-features-to-enhance-your-prototypes\" data-level=\"2\">8 Advanced Code-Based Features to Enhance your Prototypes<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#h-1-process-real-data-with-variables\" data-level=\"3\">1) Process Real Data with Variables<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-2-code-like-interactivity-with-states\" data-level=\"3\">2) Code-Like Interactivity With States<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-3-conditional-interactions\" data-level=\"3\">3) Conditional Interactions<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-4-expressions\" data-level=\"3\">4) Expressions<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-5-scrollable-content\" data-level=\"3\">5) Scrollable Content<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-6-use-apis-to-communicate-with-real-products\" data-level=\"3\">6) Use APIs to Communicate With Real Products<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-7-improve-accessibility-with-built-in-features\" data-level=\"3\">7) Improve Accessibility with Built-in Features<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-8-leverage-built-in-component-libraries\" data-level=\"3\">8) Leverage Built-in Component Libraries<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-building-a-signup-form-using-uxpin-s-prototyping-features\" data-level=\"2\">Building a Signup Form Using UXPin&#8217;s Prototyping Features<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t got a UXPin account, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/sign-up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sign up for a free trial<\/a> and discover how code-based design can significantly enhance your prototyping and testing skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-code-based-vs-image-based-prototypes\">Code-Based vs. Image-Based Prototypes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While most leading design tools offer fantastic features, including interactions and animations, they do nothing to enhance prototype fidelity or functionality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These image-based tools combine static artboards to create prototypes\u2013which doesn&#8217;t make much sense when the final product is code. How do you test user inputs, onboarding flows, or a checkout experience?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of static artboards, <strong>UXPin renders HTML, CSS, and Javascript<\/strong>. So, elements like form inputs work the same as in code. Designers can use <strong>Variables<\/strong> to capture data and use it elsewhere in the application\u2013like personalizing the welcome sequence or populating a user&#8217;s account page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With <strong>Expressions<\/strong>, you can take your prototypes to the next level by setting a username and password during signup and then asking the user to reenter those credentials to log in to the application\u2013a standard sequence that&#8217;s impossible to replicate using artboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even something as simple as changing an element&#8217;s state is unachievable using image-based tools. Designers often have to use GIFs, videos, or multiple artboards to <strong>simulate an experience that UXPin can accomplish with a few clicks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-advanced-code-based-features-to-enhance-your-prototypes\">8 Advanced Code-Based Features to Enhance your Prototypes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you understand the fundamental differences between code-based and image-based design tools let&#8217;s dive into eight of UXPin&#8217;s advanced features to understand how they enhance prototyping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-process-real-data-with-variables\">1) Process Real Data with Variables<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/editor\/variables\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Variables<\/a> alone put UXPin on a level above other image-based design tools. With variables, prototypes feel like an authentic product experience, operating on data or actions by users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you can collect information, like the user&#8217;s name and email address, and pass it to another page, like a greeting message\u2013<em>&#8220;Welcome <\/em><strong><em>John<\/em><\/strong><em>, thank you for signing up!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To Use Variables | UXPin Tutorial\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RHYm8ltDys8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You set UXPin Variables exactly as you would in Javascript by using a name\u2013either camel case or underscore. So, for our signup form&#8217;s name input, we might use <em>userName<\/em> or <em>user_name<\/em>. We recommend using the same naming convention as your engineers to create cohesion between design and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/editor\/variables\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Find out more about UXPin Variables here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-code-like-interactivity-with-states\">2) Code-Like Interactivity With States<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>States are important considerations for developers. They must set each component&#8217;s default state when the UI loads, and then program changes based on system changes or user interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/editor\/states\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">States<\/a> give UXPin prototypes immersive interactivity with changes to the UI as a user hovers, clicks\/taps, swipes, and other triggers. The most common example is a button&#8217;s default, hover, active, and disabled states.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you can also use States for more complex interactions like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/how-to\/carousel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">content carousels<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/how-to\/multilevel-dropdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dropdown navigation<\/a>, or switching the interface between light and dark modes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-conditional-interactions\">3) Conditional Interactions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/editor\/interactions\/#conditional-interactions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Conditional Interactions<\/a> allow designers to set Javascript-like &#8220;if-then&#8221; and &#8220;if-else&#8221; conditions to validate the information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, an <em>if-then<\/em> conditional interaction can check if the user has entered a valid email format (including @ and domain extension) or verify a password (character inclusions\/exclusions, length, etc.) when creating an account. If everything is correct, the user can proceed to the next screen or log in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>If-else<\/em> conditions allow designers to program what happens if a user doesn&#8217;t meet the if-then requirements\u2014for example, setting a button&#8217;s state to disabled until the user completes the signup form correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-expressions\">4) Expressions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/editor\/expressions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Expressions<\/a> (basic Javascript functions), designers can extend UXPin prototypes even further, like advanced form validation or building computational components like a functional shopping cart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To Use Expressions | UXPin Tutorial\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7aY6mZwYCs4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>UXPin allows you to write Expressions using:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Numbers<\/li><li>Strings<\/li><li>Variables<\/li><li>Content of elements<\/li><li>Function (Numbers, text, date, Regex)<\/li><li>Boolean values<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A typical example of how you might use a text-based Expression ensuring you capitalize a person&#8217;s name using an input variable. Returning to our signup form above, let&#8217;s assume the user entered their name in lowercase: <strong><em>john<\/em><\/strong>, and we captured that input using the <strong><em>userName<\/em><\/strong> variable. To capitalize the first letter of John&#8217;s name, you would write the following expression: <strong>capitalize(&#8220;userName&#8221;)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-scrollable-content\">5) Scrollable Content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re designing a website or application, scrolling is a significant part of the user experience. With just a few clicks, designers can set horizontal or vertical scrolls to any piece of content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Side note\u2013With UXPin&#8217;s <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/editor\/data-and-content\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Content and Data<\/em><\/a><em> feature, you can fill elements with real data from JSON, CSV, Google Sheets, or Unsplash with one click. You can even use <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/editor\/data-and-content\/#match-content-by-layer-name\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Match Content by Layer Name<\/em><\/a><em>, which recognizes keywords (like photo, date, time, login) and populates the fields with relevant content.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-use-apis-to-communicate-with-real-products\">6) Use APIs to Communicate With Real Products<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another benefit of a UXPin&#8217;s code-based design tool is the ability to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/editor\/interactions\/#actions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">API requests<\/a> (GET or POST) to third-party services and applications. Like posting or fetching data from Google Sheets or a database. This feature is especially useful for prototyping an application to control smart devices, like a home lighting system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incorporating APIs into your prototypes extends the functionality and provides usability participants with a real-world user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-improve-accessibility-with-built-in-features\">7) Improve Accessibility with Built-in Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Accessibility is a time-consuming yet essential part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/stages-design-thinking-process\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">design process<\/a>. Most design tools require designers to test UIs using external applications or plugins\u2013adding time and sometimes costs to the UX workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"301\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/accessibility.png\" alt=\"accessibility\" class=\"wp-image-33901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/accessibility.png 750w, https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/accessibility-700x281.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>UXPin offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/editor\/accessibility-features\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">built-in accessibility features<\/a> with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/editor\/accessibility-features\/#contrast-checker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contrast checker<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/editor\/accessibility-features\/#color-blindness-simulator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">color blindness simulator<\/a> so designers can check UIs on the fly without leaving the design canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-leverage-built-in-component-libraries\">8) Leverage Built-in Component Libraries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>UXPin features <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/design-systems\/design-system-libraries\/#built-in-design-libraries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">built-in design systems<\/a> and a React component library through our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/merge\/mui-library\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MUI integration<\/a>.
