Stop being intimidated by code and start building more powerful Webflow sites today.

Setting Up Your Local Development Environment:

"Whoa, that was new. Hang on. AI site builder. Okay, I'll play with that next time. All right, so we've got What are we doing today? Code components."

Teaching an AI to Build Code Components:

"So now run that command that you just Yeah. Right there. And hopefully it won't have pseudo issues. What it should do is then it should open in Chrome."

Creating a Pricing Calculator Component with AI:

"So you look at that. So now it's created the documentation file and along with that it's added to its own instructions saying hey reference this document. So now it's going to work."

Debugging Errors with Claude Code:

__wf_reserved_inherit
"And then go ahead and open that local dev site, the local host 3000, and see if there's anything on there. Try to refresh."

Connecting Your Component Library to Webflow:

__wf_reserved_inherit
"And just run this command. I find running commands like this, it's usually just better to just run the commands yourself."

Installing and Using Your First Code Component:

__wf_reserved_inherit
"So go ahead, copy that error and send it to Claude. Yep. To Claude. Okay. Can't resolve. Okay. Oh, interesting. Just a file naming issue probably."

Making Live Changes and Pushing Updates:

"What do you not like about it? Let's see. What do I not like about it? Man, the problem is it's really good. It is pretty good. We can just make it more complicated."

Why This Workflow is a Game-Changer:

__wf_reserved_inherit
"So you can use this in preview mode you can change anything you want to change it's super cool like this is what I really wanted this video to be for because I think people are going to use this and build some really awesome stuff."

Final Thoughts & Conclusion:

__wf_reserved_inherit
"I'm glad that this went as well for you as it went for me. And really now I'm just looking for more use cases and something that I can see us doing. Members, we make a lot of components for the Web Flow community."
