Available since FlowX.AI v5.5AI-powered custom component generation is available starting with FlowX.AI version 5.5.

Overview

FlowX.AI enables AI-powered generation of custom UI components. Describe the component you need in natural language, and the AI generates the component code, styling, and configuration for you. This accelerates UI development by automating the creation of custom components based on your specifications.
AI Generate Custom Components

Natural language input

Describe your component requirements in plain language

Code generation

Automatically generate component code and styling

Preview and iterate

Preview generated components and refine with additional prompts

Integration ready

Generated components integrate directly with FlowX.AI UI Designer

How it works

The AI component generation system uses advanced language models to understand your requirements and generate production-ready component code.

Generation process

1

Describe your component

Write a natural language description of the component you need, including:
  • Visual appearance
  • Functionality and behavior
  • Data requirements
  • Interaction patterns
2

AI analysis

The AI analyzes your description to understand:
  • Component structure
  • Required properties
  • Styling requirements
  • Event handlers
3

Code generation

The AI generates:
  • Component code (HTML/Angular/React)
  • CSS styling
  • Property definitions
  • Event bindings
4

Preview and refine

Review the generated component in the preview panel. Provide additional feedback to refine the output.
5

Integration

Add the generated component to your project’s custom component library for use in UI Designer.

Accessing AI component generation

1

Open Custom Components

In FlowX Designer, navigate to Design AssetsCustom Components.
2

Click Generate with AI

Click the Generate with AI button to open the AI generation interface.
3

Enter your description

In the prompt field, describe the component you want to create.

Writing effective prompts

The quality of generated components depends on the clarity and detail of your descriptions.

Prompt structure

A good prompt includes:
ElementDescriptionExample
Component typeWhat kind of component”A card component”, “A data table”
Visual descriptionHow it should look”with a header, image, and action buttons”
FunctionalityWhat it should do”that displays product information and allows adding to cart”
Data requirementsWhat data it needs”showing product name, price, description, and image”
Styling hintsVisual preferences”with rounded corners and a subtle shadow”

Example prompts

Prompt:
Create a product card component that displays:
- Product image at the top (16:9 aspect ratio)
- Product name as a heading
- Price with currency symbol
- Short description (max 2 lines)
- "Add to Cart" button at the bottom

The card should have rounded corners, a subtle shadow on hover,
and the button should use the primary theme color.
Prompt:
Create a status badge component that:
- Shows a status label (Pending, Approved, Rejected, In Progress)
- Has different colors for each status:
  - Pending: yellow
  - Approved: green
  - Rejected: red
  - In Progress: blue
- Includes an icon before the text
- Has rounded pill shape
- Is compact (small padding)
Prompt:
Create a user profile header component with:
- Circular avatar image on the left
- User name and role/title stacked vertically
- Status indicator (online/offline dot)
- Action buttons on the right (Edit, Settings)

Should be responsive - stack vertically on mobile.
Use flexbox for layout.
Prompt:
Create a KPI summary card that shows:
- A large number (the metric value)
- A label below the number
- A trend indicator (up/down arrow with percentage)
- An icon in the top right corner

The trend should be green for positive and red for negative.
The card should have a light background and subtle border.

Tips for better results

Be specific

Include exact measurements, colors, or spacing when needed

Describe interactions

Mention hover states, click behaviors, and animations

Reference standards

Mention design patterns like “Material Design card” or “Bootstrap badge”

Iterate

Start simple and refine with follow-up prompts

Previewing generated components

After the AI generates a component, review it in the preview panel before adding it to your project.

Preview features

FeatureDescription
Live previewSee the component rendered in real-time
Property editorTest different property values
Responsive previewView component at different screen sizes
Code viewInspect the generated code

Refining with feedback

If the generated component doesn’t match your expectations:
  1. Provide specific feedback: “Make the button larger” or “Change the header color to blue”
  2. Add missing details: “Add a loading state with a spinner”
  3. Request changes: “Remove the border and add more padding”
The AI remembers the conversation context and applies your feedback to improve the component.

Generated component structure

AI-generated components follow FlowX.AI custom component standards:

Component code

@Component({
  selector: 'custom-product-card',
  template: `
    <div class="product-card">
      <img [src]="imageUrl" [alt]="productName" class="product-image">
      <div class="product-content">
        <h3 class="product-name">{{productName}}</h3>
        <p class="product-price">{{currency}}{{price}}</p>
        <p class="product-description">{{description}}</p>
        <button class="add-to-cart-btn" (click)="onAddToCart()">
          Add to Cart
        </button>
      </div>
    </div>
  `,
  styles: [`
    .product-card {
      border-radius: 8px;
      box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
      overflow: hidden;
      transition: box-shadow 0.2s;
    }
    .product-card:hover {
      box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.15);
    }
    /* ... additional styles */
  `]
})
export class ProductCardComponent {
  @Input() imageUrl: string;
  @Input() productName: string;
  @Input() price: number;
  @Input() currency: string = '$';
  @Input() description: string;

  @Output() addToCart = new EventEmitter<void>();

  onAddToCart() {
    this.addToCart.emit();
  }
}

Property definitions

Generated components include property definitions for use in UI Designer:
{
  "properties": [
    {
      "name": "imageUrl",
      "type": "string",
      "label": "Image URL",
      "description": "URL of the product image"
    },
    {
      "name": "productName",
      "type": "string",
      "label": "Product Name",
      "description": "Name of the product"
    },
    {
      "name": "price",
      "type": "number",
      "label": "Price",
      "description": "Product price"
    }
  ],
  "events": [
    {
      "name": "addToCart",
      "label": "Add to Cart",
      "description": "Fired when user clicks the Add to Cart button"
    }
  ]
}

Adding components to your project

After generating and refining a component, add it to your project’s custom component library.
1

Review the component

Ensure the component meets your requirements in the preview.
2

Name the component

Provide a descriptive name for the component (e.g., “Product Card”, “Status Badge”).
3

Add to library

Click Add to Project to save the component to your custom component library.
4

Use in UI Designer

The component is now available in UI Designer under Custom Components.

Supported component types

AI component generation supports various component types:
TypeExamples
Display componentsCards, badges, labels, alerts, banners
Data componentsTables, lists, grids, charts
Form elementsCustom inputs, selectors, pickers
NavigationTabs, menus, breadcrumbs
FeedbackLoaders, progress bars, notifications
LayoutHeaders, footers, sidebars
Complex components with advanced functionality (e.g., rich text editors, complex data visualizations) may require manual refinement after generation.

Limitations

Current limitations of AI component generation:
  • Framework support: Currently generates Angular components; React support planned
  • Complex logic: Very complex business logic may need manual implementation
  • External dependencies: Cannot automatically include third-party libraries
  • Animations: Complex animations may need manual refinement
  • Accessibility: Review generated components for accessibility compliance

Best practices

Component design

Keep it simple

Start with simple components and compose them into complex UIs

Reuse patterns

Generate components that can be reused across multiple screens

Test thoroughly

Test generated components with various data and edge cases

Review code

Review generated code for quality and optimization opportunities

Prompt engineering

  • Start with a clear, concise description
  • Add details incrementally through conversation
  • Reference existing design systems or patterns
  • Specify responsive behavior requirements
