Here’s how the Code Studio UI Builder works

Building UI doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s how Syncfusion’s intelligent UI Builder makes it simple and efficient:

Step 1: Describe what you need

Start by telling the UI Builder what you want, just like you’d explain it to a teammate. Be sure to mention:

  • The Syncfusion keyword (This keyword activates the UI Builder tool)
  • The platform you’re targeting (like React, WinForms, or JavaScript)

Here are a few examples:

  • Create a comprehensive sales dashboard with interactive charts and data filtering using Syncfusion React components.
  • Build a user registration form with validation and error handling using Syncfusion WinForms controls.
  • Develop a responsive product catalog with search and categorization using Syncfusion JavaScript components.

Step 2: Let the AI figure it out

Once you’ve described what you need, the UI Builder gets to work behind the scenes using two modes:

1. Supported controls mode

It first checks which Syncfusion controls are available for the platform you mentioned, making sure everything it suggests is compatible and ready to use.

2. Context mode

Then it dives deeper into your prompt to understand what you’re trying to build. Based on that:

  • Suggests a layout that fits your project’s structure.
  • Retrieves metadata and platform-specific details to make sure everything aligns perfectly.

In short, it reads your request like a developer would and automatically sets up your UI’s foundation.

Step 3: Smart Code generation

Once the UI Builder understands your request, Syncfusion Code Studio will take over and write the code for you intelligently and efficiently.

Here’s what it does:

  • Generates clean, well-commented code tailored to your chosen platform.
  • Adds all the necessary imports, dependencies, and configurations so you don’t have to hunt them down.
  • Includes error handling and takes care of edge cases.
  • Follows best practices specific to the platform you’re working with, so your code works well and looks professional.

Step 4: Plug it right into your project

Now that the code is ready, Code Studio doesn’t just hand it over; it integrates it directly into your project.

Here’s how:

  • It creates or updates files in your project automatically.
  • Builds the project and fixes any issues that pop up.
  • Gives you a production-ready implementation that you can deploy right away.
  • Makes it easy to customize branding and styling so everything fits your design system.

Real-world implementation: React employee management interface

Let’s walk through how Syncfusion’s UI Builder helps you build a fully functional employee management interface, step by step.

The challenge

You want to create a React-based employee management system that includes:

  • A data grid
  • Search and filtering options
  • Export functionality- All powered by Syncfusion React components.

Step 1: Describe what you need

You start by giving a simple prompt:

Build a React-based employee management system with data grid, search capabilities, filtering options, and export functionality using Syncfusion React components.

That’s it. No need to write code or worry about setup.

Step 2: AI gets to work

The UI Builder analyzes your request using two smart modes:

  • Supported controls mode: It lists the available Syncfusion controls for React platform.
  • Context mode: It understands your prompt, retrieves metadata for the right components, and builds a layout that fits your project.

  • A fully integrated Syncfusion Grid with structured data
  • Optimized search and filtering logic
  • Export options for multiple formats
  • TypeScript definitions for a better development experience

All clean, well-commented, and ready to go.

Step 4: Make It Yours

Now you can:

  • Connect the grid to your actual data source
  • Customize the styling to match your brand
  • Add new features as needed
  • Drop it right into your existing React app

Cross-Platform flexibility, one request, multiple platforms

One of the best things about Syncfusion’s UI Builder? You don’t have to rewrite your request for every platform. The same prompt works across different tech stacks. For example:

  • Angular: Create an employee management page using Syncfusion Angular Grid Component
  • Blazor: Create an employee management page using Syncfusion Blazor Grid Component
  • WinForms: Create an employee management form using Syncfusion WinForms Grid Component

Change the platform name, and the UI Builder takes care of the rest.

Impact across teams and roles

Whether you’re a developer, designer, or product owner, the benefits are clear:

  • Cutting down development time: Teams report a huge reduction in UI development time, and the best part? Everyone’s code follows the same standards.

  • Design-to-code made easy: Designers can finally see their ideas come to life without needing to write code. The UI Builder ensures everything stays aligned with your design system.
