UI Component Integration

We’re introducing a new way to bring world-class UI into your generated projects: copy-prompt component integration.

This release allows developers to take component prompts from libraries such as 21st.dev and insert them directly into any CodePup project — with full dependency handling, file creation, and placement automation.

How It Works

When you copy a component prompt from external libraries
(for example: https://21st.dev/community/components)
and paste it into CodePup, the system now understands:

the component’s structure
its required dependencies
its related files (assets, helper files, styles)
where it should live inside your project

After analyzing the prompt, CodePup automatically installs dependencies, generates files, and integrates the component into your existing codebase.

Example Workflow

Browse Components Choose a component from libraries like 21st.dev or any other prompt-ready UI source.
Copy the Prompt Copy the component’s provided prompt directly from the UI library.
Paste Into CodePup Use the “Modify project” flow and paste the prompt.
CodePup interprets the component and prepares the integration.
Choose Placement Tell CodePup where the new component belongs — a page, section, route, or layout block.
Automatic Integration Dependencies are installed, files are created, and the component becomes part of your app.

Why This Matters

This release bridges the gap between AI-generated apps and modern component ecosystems.
Users can now enrich their projects with high-quality, production-ready components — without manually wiring dependencies, navigating file structures, or troubleshooting broken imports.

Supported Use Cases

Importing complex UI from 21st.dev
Adding dashboards, forms, tables, charts, navigation components, and full sections
Dropping in hero sections, landing pages, pricing layouts, and complete templates
Installing Tailwind, Radix, ShadCN-style components, or design-system-ready elements
Combining CodePup-generated pages with premium community UI components

Looking Ahead

Future releases will expand this integration with:

smarter component positioning
automatic routing awareness
deeper support for multi-file component packs
improved compatibility with emerging UI ecosystems

This is a significant step toward a world where your CodePup projects can grow with any design system, any component library, and any UI style — simply by pasting a prompt.
