WaveMaker
announced the release of WaveMaker AutoCode, an innovative AI-powered plugin
for the Figma universe that produces pixel-perfect front-end components with
lightning fast accuracy.

Software teams using WaveMaker AutoCode can leapfrog from design
to development by converting Figma UI designs within minutes into fully
functional design-perfect components, layouts, and styles, for further
development on WaveMaker’s modern platform. WaveMaker AutoCode works
out-of-the-box for Figma designs that use the Material 3 design system, but can
be enabled to work with client-proprietary design systems.

WaveMaker AutoCode provides design-conscious professional
developer teams in enterprises and ISVs a formal design-to-code workflow for
delivering captivating, modern, performant applications and high-fidelity user
experiences at warp speed. Key features include:

  • Seamless
    Design-to-UI Conversion:
     Translates
    Material 3-based Figma designs into production-ready code ensuring
    pixel-perfect accuracy for UI elements, app navigation, and interactions.
  • Automatic
    Component Detection:
     Identifies
    design elements like forms, lists, and cards, and maps them to
    corresponding widgets within WaveMaker Studio.
  • Design
    Language Consistency:
     Supports
    Figma variables, modes and design tokens, maintaining the integrity of the
    original design throughout the development process. 
  • Easy Code
    Customization:
     WaveMaker
    AutoCode generated code  can be easily customized to add business
    logic in WaveMaker’s studio environment making the handoff to the frontend
    engineering team easy.
  • Scalable and
    Secure Code:
     Produces
    enterprise-grade, battle-tested Angular code (React Native for mobile)
    with built-in support for authentication, authorization,
    internationalization, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Fits With
    Client-Proprietary Design System: 
     WaveMaker
    AutoCode conforms to the Material 3 design system out-of-the-box but is
    easily customizable to align with any proprietary design system, offering
    flexibility for enterprises with their unique Design Language System
    (DLS). Paired with WaveMaker MyStudio (a client-proprietary instance of
    WaveMaker’s studio with a 100% custom widget library based on client
    DLS),  WaveMaker AutoCode empowers ISVs and enterprises with
    opinionated designs to rapidly modernize applications en masse, standardize
    development processes, and seamlessly add business logic, ensuring smooth
    design-to-development handoffs and delivery of scalable, enterprise-grade
    applications.

“WaveMaker AutoCode is a game-changer for application development
teams battling with the twin challenges of increasing velocity to the business
while striving to deliver applications that are pixel-to-pixel matched with
designs,” said Vijay Pullur, Co-founder and CEO at WaveMaker. “By integrating
AI-powered automation into the design-to-code process, we are enabling teams to
produce cross-platform, enterprise-grade apps with unmatched efficiency and
scalability.”
