Phi for Visual Studio Code

Design components for the web in Visual Studio Code. Generate code you can trust (ok, maybe not yet).

What is Phi for VS Code?

Phi is a Visual Studio Code extension that lets you design react components and then generate code you can use in your web apps (only Gatsby and Next.js are supported right now). By limiting the scope to the web platform, Phi can leverage powerful CSS features like media queries and pseudo classes to generate a good part of your design system.

Phi is still in alpha so you will encounters some bugs.

How it works

Design your components in VS Code

Import component from .phi file

Getting Started

Install the Phi Extension

Download the VSCode extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GuillaumeSalles.phi-vscode

Create a new a file with a .phi extension and save it.

At this point, you should be able to see the Phi Editor in VSCode

You are now ready to design your own components!

Gatsby integration

Install @phijs/gatsby-plugin-phi in your Gatsby project

npm install --save-dev gatsby-plugin-phi

Add @phijs/gatsby-plugin-phi in your plugins list in your gatsby-config.js.

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    /* Other plugins */
    `@phijs/gatsby-plugin-phi`,
  ],
};

Import your component directly from your react code.

import { HelloWorld } from "./path/to/file.phi";

const IndexPage = () => <HelloWorld />;

Next.js integration

Install @phijs/next-plugin in your Next.js project

npm install --save-dev @phijs/next-plugin

Create a next.config.js at the root of your project

const withPhi = require("@phijs/next-plugin")();
module.exports = withPhi();

Import your component directly from your react code.

import { HelloWorld } from "./path/to/file.phi";

const IndexPage = () => <HelloWorld />;

Conventions

Components names are defined as kebab-case in Phi but are imported as PascalCase. Example hello-world becomes HelloWorld.

Properties are defined as kebab-case in Phi but are imported as camelCase. Example my-prop become myProp;
