There are many ways that AI can help speed up web development. We just posted a course on the freeCodeCamp.org YouTube channel that will show you how to convert Figma designs into working code with just one click using AI.
Ania Kubow developed this course. She is one of our most popular instructors. She will show you how to transform your designs into code using Locofy and also how to prepare to deploy the complete application.
You will learn to easily create an Airbnb clone. This app isn’t just a static display of properties; it’s a dynamic platform where users can sign up, sign in, and interact with property data in real-time. This course will take you from a raw design in Figma to a live application, covering every step in between.
Course Contents
The course starts with an introduction to Figma, a leading tool in collaborative web design that allows for real-time UI and UX development. You will then dive into the actual design of the ‘localhost’ app (that’s the name of the Airbnb clone), laying the groundwork for the transformative steps ahead.
The heart of the course is the introduction to Locofy Lightning and LocoAI, tools that convert Figma designs into high-quality, production-ready frontend code. This AI-driven process is not only efficient but also adaptable, providing code that’s ready for further customization if needed. Locofy provided a grant to make this course possible.
This tutorial isn’t just about converting designs into code; it’s about making that code functional and interactive. You’ll learn how to sync the generated code to GitHub, integrate a database, set up authentication, and finally, deploy the app using Netlify.
With technologies like React for the frontend, Node.js for the backend, MongoDB for database management, and Netlify for deployment, you are in for a comprehensive development experience.
