How it Works

Bitloops simplifies frontend development by automating the design-to-code process, generating professional-grade frontend code, and handling design assets with minimal manual input. Here's a step-by-step overview of how it works:

1. Import Your Figma File​

Start by importing your Figma file into Bitloops. This file serves as the source of truth for your design system, containing all frames, components, and assets.

What Bitloops Imports:​

  • Frames and Design Elements: UI components, screens, and pages.
  • Visual Assets: Icons, logos, and images.
  • Fonts and Colors: Ensuring consistent design fidelity.

2. Add a Design Frame to Your Project​

Once your Figma file is imported, add individual design frames to your Bitloops project. A design frame can be anything from a simple button to an entire webpage layout.

Why This Step Matters:​

  • Selective Import: Focus only on relevant parts of your design.
  • Organized Workflow: Add and manage frames one at a time for easier component generation.

3. Convert Design Frames into Components​

After adding a design frame, select a specific frame and let Bitloops work its magic. Bitloops analyzes the frame, generates code, and extracts assets—all while ensuring design fidelity and responsive behavior.

What Bitloops Generates:​

  • Production-Ready Code: React or Next.js components following industry best practices.
  • Storybook Story: An interactive preview of your component.
  • Property Tests: Tests for font sizes, colors, dimensions, and layout accuracy.
  • Responsiveness Tests: Validations ensuring the component works on all devices.
  • Assets Export: Automatic export of icons, images, and fonts into the appropriate folders.
  • Prop Definitions: Automatically generated prop names and default values based on design context.
  • Component Naming: Meaningful component names reflecting their purpose in the project.

4. Customize and Export the Code​

Once code generation is complete, you can review, refine, and export the generated code directly into your project.

Customization Options:​

  • Code Editing: Adjust components, props, and styles as needed.
  • Project Integration: Export components into your codebase for immediate use.
  • Team Collaboration: Maintain consistent code standards for your entire team.

Upcoming Features (Coming Soon 🚀)​

Bitloops is constantly evolving. Here’s a sneak peek at some upcoming features designed to take your design-to-code experience even further:

1. Automatic Nested Component Generation​

  • Detect nested components within a frame.
  • Automatically create child components, define props, and link instances.

2. Defining Instances of Existing Components​

  • Select parts of a frame that reference already-defined components.
  • Reuse instead of re-creating—reducing duplicated work and improving project scalability.

3. Import Existing Code Components​

  • Import pre-existing components into Bitloops and integrate them seamlessly into your projects.

4. Full Page Conversion & Automatic Component Breakdown​

  • Select an entire page frame in Figma and let Bitloops identify and break it into components.
  • Component Identification: Automatically detect buttons, forms, cards, and more.
  • Bottom-Up Approach: Build components from the smallest elements up to entire pages.
  • User Confirmation Workflow: Review and approve detected components before generation.
