image-based and code-based design tools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When designers hear code-based design tool, they assume it&#8217;s a developer tool or must learn code to use it\u2013<em>both are incorrect.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Code-based refers to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/its-time-for-designers-to-switch-from-image-based-to-code-based-design\/\">how the tool renders what UX designers create on the canvas<\/a>. Traditional image-based tools produce static vector graphics, whereas code-based tools render code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Learn more about it:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/interactive-figma-designs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Turn Figma Designs into Interactive Prototypes?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/get-code-mode-1024x578.webp\" alt=\"get code mode\" class=\"wp-image-54540\" style=\"width:750px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/get-code-mode-1024x578.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/get-code-mode-531x300.webp 531w, https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/get-code-mode-768x434.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/get-code-mode-1536x868.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/get-code-mode-2048x1157.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the most part, designers won&#8217;t notice much difference when comparing the two interfaces, except that code-based tools generally have more options for interactivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you create an input field using an image-based tool, it&#8217;s just a block on the canvas. In UXPin, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/form-input-design-best-practices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">input<\/a> behaves like it would in the final product. When users click the input, a cursor appears, and they can enter text. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/advanced-prototyping-features\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UXPin&#8217;s various features<\/a>, designers can then:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Validate inputs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check password criteria (i.e., letters, numbers, symbols, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personalize welcome messages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Populate a user&#8217;s profile page<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-uxpin\">What is UXPin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>UXPin is an end-to-end code-based design tool for advanced prototyping and testing. Designers can build prototypes that accurately replicate final product interactions and functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UXPin looks and feels like any other design tool but with features that enhance UX workflows, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/design-collaboration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">collaboration<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/what-is-a-prototype-a-guide-to-functional-ux\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prototyping<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/how-to-run-an-insightful-usability-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">testing<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of those key features include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Variables<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interactions and Conditional Interactions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expressions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Auto Layout<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Design Systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Comments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-variables\">Variables<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/editor\/variables\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Variables<\/a> allow designers to capture data from input fields and use it elsewhere in the prototype. This example from our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/examples\/sign-up-form\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">demo sign-up form<\/a> demonstrates how you can capture a user&#8217;s email address to personalize the confirmation page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/uxpin\/status\/1589684680848470016\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-interactions-and-conditional-interactions\">Interactions and Conditional Interactions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>UXPin makes it easy to add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/editor\/interactions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Interactions<\/a> to your prototypes with a few clicks. Designers have an extensive list of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/editor\/interactions\/#triggers\">Triggers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/editor\/interactions\/#actions\">Actions<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/editor\/interactions\/#animations\">Animations<\/a> that accurately mimic final product interactivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/editor\/interactions\/#conditional-interactions\">Conditional Interactions<\/a> take interactivity to another level with if-then and if-else conditions\u2013<em>similar to what Javascript does for devs.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Returning to our demo sign-up form, we see how you can use Conditional Interactions to present users with error messages if they leave the email and password fields blank. Only when the user meets the input&#8217;s conditions can they proceed to the confirmation page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-expressions\">Expressions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/editor\/expressions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Expressions<\/a> take prototyping to the next level, allowing designers to create dynamic user experiences comparable to code. In our sign-up form prototype, we use Expressions to define the email and input field criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Email:<\/strong> must have the @ symbol and domain extension (.com, .co.uk, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Password:<\/strong> must be longer than 8 characters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Designers can add as many Expressions to components and prototypes as they like, achieving results indistinguishable from code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-auto-layout\">Auto Layout<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many design tools offer auto layout, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/editor\/auto-layout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UXPin&#8217;s Auto Layout<\/a> uses <a href=\"https:\/\/css-tricks.com\/snippets\/css\/a-guide-to-flexbox\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Flexbox<\/a> naming and properties to create realistic expectations and improve designer\/developer collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/uxpin\/status\/1469130764071677953\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Designers use Auto Layout to automatically resize, fit, distribute, and fill designs, eliminating the time-consuming task of doing this manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Further reading:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/auto-layout-uxpin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bringing Auto Layout to UXPin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-design-systems\">Design Systems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Design Systems allows designers to create a library of reusable components and share these across the organization.

Additionally, you can browse full layouts, like dashboards, to jumpstart your designs without the need to build from the ground up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s how UXPin Merge works<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Select a Library<\/strong>: Choose from built-in component libraries like MUI or even custom Tailwind UI components. Simply drag and drop these ready-made components into your design canvas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Edit Variants and Properties<\/strong>: Customize the components with real React code by toggling between different variants and modifying their properties. You\u2019re not just working with static design assets but actual coded components that behave as they would in production.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use Custom Code<\/strong>: If you\u2019re working with custom Tailwind UI components, you can paste code directly into UXPin to generate entire UI sections instantly. This feature allows you to skip designing components from scratch and speeds up your workflow by using existing code.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>AI-Powered Component Generation<\/strong>: UXPin Merge even integrates AI to help you create code-based components on the fly. For example, you can prompt the system to generate a \u201cPersona Card,\u201d and UXPin will create a fully functional Tailwind CSS-based component directly on the canvas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Effortless Developer Handoff<\/strong>: Once your design is complete, UXPin Merge makes it easy to hand off your work to developers. Share your prototype through a preview link, and developers can access the <strong>real JSX code, dependencies, and functions<\/strong> for each component. This ensures that developers receive production-ready code that they can immediately use in their environments.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\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=\"UXPin Merge Product Demo\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5J3wwwbPOz0?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>With <strong>UXPin Merge<\/strong>, there\u2019s no need to waste time recreating components for the design team or manually coding every element from scratch. Merge AI allows designers and developers to work more efficiently by tapping into the power of real React components, ensuring consistency between design and development from the very beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-sync-a-design-system-with-uxpin-merge\">How to Sync Your Design System With UXPin Merge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three ways to sync a design system with UXPin Merge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/merge\/git-integration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Git Integration<\/a>: for React component libraries only<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/merge\/storybook-integration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Storybook Integration<\/a>: for Storybook libraries (React, Angular, Ember, Vue, <a href=\"https:\/\/storybook.js.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">and more<\/a>.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/merge\/npm-integration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">npm Integration<\/a>: for importing components from open-source libraries available in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npmjs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">npm registry<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"501\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/uxpin-merge-component-sync.png\" alt=\"uxpin merge component sync\" class=\"wp-image-37004\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/uxpin-merge-component-sync.png 750w, https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/uxpin-merge-component-sync-449x300.png 449w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These three integrations each serve different prototyping and team needs.
