Creating a React Component from a UI/Functional Spec

Key Points:

• Translating visual descriptions and functional requirements from the spec into prompt requirements (component name, props, state, behavior, styling).
• Specifying desired libraries (React) and styling framework (Tailwind CSS) explicitly.
• Prompting for component structure, handling state/props as defined in the spec.
• Refining generated JSX and applying/correcting Tailwind classes based on the spec’s visual requirements.
• Integrating the component into a sample React application and verifying its appearance and basic functionality.

Assets:

• Example UI/Functional Specification snippet (could include text descriptions, simple wireframe ASCII art, or reference to a diagram).
• Prompt Template: “Generate React Component from Spec” (Reusable Markdown template).
• Example LLM interaction flow.
• Code Snippets: Generated React component code (JSX with Tailwind classes).
• Callout (Inline Tip): “Tip: For complex UI, break it down into smaller components and generate them individually.”
• Callout (Inline Warning): “Warning: LLMs might not perfectly replicate complex layouts from text descriptions alone. Visual review is essential.”
