You can tweak properties like size, variants, and states directly in the UXPin interface, and those adjustments are immediately reflected in the underlying code. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/bringing-design-and-code-together\/\" style=\"display: inline;\">bringing design and code together<\/a> eliminates the need for translation layers, allowing you to create UIs that match production code perfectly.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-build-a-ui-step-by-step\" tabindex=\"-1\" class=\"sb h2-sbb-cls\">How to Build a UI: Step-by-Step<\/h2>\n<p>Now that your workspace is set up, it&#8217;s time to bring your UI to life. This process blends three powerful tools: <strong>shadcn\/ui components<\/strong> for building blocks, <strong>Claude Opus 4.5<\/strong> for AI-assisted layout creation, and <strong>UXPin Merge<\/strong> as your design platform. Here&#8217;s how to go from idea to functional prototype.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"using-shadcnui-components-in-uxpin-merge\" tabindex=\"-1\">Using shadcn\/ui Components in UXPin Merge<\/h3>\n<p>With everything configured, start by diving into the <strong>component library panel<\/strong> on the left side of your UXPin canvas. Here, you&#8217;ll find shadcn\/ui components ready to use &#8211; no need for imports, extra setup, or external accounts. Simply drag and drop elements like buttons, forms, cards, or navigation bars directly onto your canvas.<\/p>\n<p>As you adjust properties such as size, color, or state within UXPin, you&#8217;re tweaking the same components developers will use in production. This seamless connection ensures your design translates perfectly into code, eliminating any discrepancies between design and development.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"generating-layouts-with-claude-opus-45\" tabindex=\"-1\">Generating Layouts with Claude Opus 4.5<\/h3>\n<p>Why arrange every component manually when <strong>Claude Opus 4.5<\/strong> can handle it for you? Open the AI assistant panel and provide a detailed prompt describing your desired layout. For instance:<br \/> <em>&quot;Design a dashboard UI with a sidebar navigation, a header featuring a user profile dropdown, a main content area displaying data cards in a 3-column grid, and a footer with links.&quot;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Claude Opus 4.5 delivers results in as few as <strong>4 iterations<\/strong>, far outpacing other models that might need 10 or more. Its effort parameter optimizes token usage, delivering faster and more efficient results. Best of all, the AI works exclusively with your shadcn\/ui components, ensuring all elements are pre-approved and ready for development.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"customizing-and-refining-your-design\" tabindex=\"-1\">Customizing and Refining Your Design<\/h3>\n<p>After Claude Opus 4.5 generates your layout, you can refine it directly on the canvas. Click on any component to tweak its properties, switch variants, or adjust spacing. Need more changes? Just prompt the AI with specific instructions, like:<br \/> <em>&quot;Set card spacing to 24px and change the button variant to outline.&quot;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The system immediately flags unsupported properties, keeping your design consistent. Once you&#8217;re satisfied with the refinements, you&#8217;ll be ready to create <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/interactive-prototype-setting-user-interactions-without-coding\/\" style=\"display: inline;\">interactive prototypes<\/a> and move forward with deployment.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"prototyping-and-deploying-your-ui\" tabindex=\"-1\" class=\"sb h2-sbb-cls\">Prototyping and Deploying Your UI<\/h2>\n<p>Turn your static design into a fully functional user interface. With <strong>UXPin Merge<\/strong>, you can connect your design to actual code, enabling interactive features and seamless integration into your development workflow.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"adding-interactivity-with-logic-and-variables\" tabindex=\"-1\">Adding Interactivity with Logic and Variables<\/h3>\n<p>To make your design interactive, select any component and open the <strong>Interactions panel<\/strong>. This is where you can add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/variables-and-conditional-interactions-for-interactive-prototyping\/\" style=\"display: inline;\">conditional logic, variables, and expressions<\/a>. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Want a modal to pop up when a button is clicked? Use the &quot;Show\/Hide&quot; interaction.<\/li>\n<li>Need a checkbox to toggle content visibility? State variables can control what appears on the screen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The best part? These interactions automatically convert into functional React code. When you export your design, UXPin includes features like <code>visible<\/code> and <code>checked<\/code> states directly in the exported functions block. This eliminates the need for manually coding these interactions, speeding up your workflow and reducing errors. Once your interaction logic is in place, you&#8217;re ready to export and integrate your design.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"exporting-and-syncing-with-repositories\" tabindex=\"-1\">Exporting and Syncing with Repositories<\/h3>\n<p>Exporting your code is straightforward. Switch to Spec mode to access your design&#8217;s code. When you select the parent container, you&#8217;ll see three main sections:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dependencies<\/strong>: Lists all necessary imports (e.g., from shadcn\/ui).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Functions<\/strong>: Contains your interaction logic.<\/li>\n<li><strong>JSX Code<\/strong>: Shows the actual markup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>From here, you have multiple export options: copy to clipboard, open in <a href=\"https:\/\/stackblitz.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" style=\"display: inline;\">StackBlitz<\/a>, or download as a React project (complete with a <code>.zip<\/code> file and <code>package.json<\/code>).
