Precise Edits

​

Visual Edits

Lovable makes programming accessible to non-technical users while ensuring designers have precise control. Visual Edits allows AI-driven development with Tailwind-native visual controls for easy refinement.

​

How It Works

• Activate the tool from the editor toolbar.

• Hover & Click on UI elements (buttons, text, images) to edit.

• Modify Attributes like text, colors, layout, font weights, and image sizes.

• Select Parent Elements for structural changes.

• Use AI-Powered Prompts for complex adjustments.

• Preview in Real-Time and save when satisfied.

This streamlines UI refinements, combining AI assistance with manual precision.

This is the technical background of what went into building this feature.

​

Figma Integration

Export Figma designs directly into Lovable to build full-stack apps without coding.

​

Figma-to-code guide:

• Structure Figma designs.

• Use Builder.io’s plugin.

• Leverage Lovable for seamless app creation.

Knowledge Files

Every project has its own unique context, goals, and challenges. A knowledge file captures this custom context and serves as a living document that evolves with your project.

​

What to Include in Your Knowledge File

A comprehensive knowledge file covers all essential aspects of your project. Here’s a breakdown of what to include:

• Project Overview: A brief description of the project, its goals, and objectives.

• User Personas: Detailed descriptions of your target users and their needs.

• Feature Specifications: User stories, acceptance criteria, and detailed descriptions of each feature.

• Design Assets: Links to design files, color palettes, typography, and other visual elements.

• API Documentation: Detailed API endpoints, request/response examples, and authentication methods.

• Database Schema: ER diagrams, table structures, and relationships.

• Environment Setup: Instructions for setting up the development environment, including dependencies and configurations.

• Testing Guidelines: Types of tests, testing frameworks, and coverage requirements.

• Deployment Instructions: Steps for deploying the application to different environments (development, staging, production).

• Version Control Practices: Define your branching strategy, commit message conventions, and code review guidelines.

• Security Practices: Guidelines for secure coding, data protection, and handling sensitive information.

• Compliance Requirements: Any legal or regulatory requirements your project must adhere to.

​

Best Practices for Maintaining Knowledge Files

• Start Early: Use tools like Lovable’s experimental chat mode to generate a knowledge file at the beginning of your project.

• Keep It Dynamic: Automate updates to ensure your knowledge file stays in sync with your codebase and documentation.

• Define Roles Clearly: Assign ownership to different sections to ensure accountability and avoid outdated information.
