Code components

Create or import React-based components for use inside and outside Webflow

Code components are React components that are enhanced for use within Webflow sites and in external sites. They allow you to use React components that you developed for other sites in Webflow and synchronize components between your Webflow and non-Webflow sites via DevLink.

You can work with imported or created Webflow Code components directly on the canvas with props, slots, and variants for flexible composition. You can also use AI-powered tools to generate and modify complex, interactive code components.

Get started


Key capabilities

With code components, you get full control over your React development:

  • Develop in React
    Use hooks, state, effects, and context to build advanced components
  • Visual composition
    Expose props and slots for designers to design visually in Webflow
  • Shared library distribution
    Share, update, and install code components on any site in your Workspace with Libraries

How code components work in Webflow

1

Build components in your codebase

Create React components with hooks, state management, and API integrations. Reference Webflow variables to allow components to adapt to an individual site’s colors, typography, sizes, and spacing.

2

Declare a Webflow component in your codebase

Use declareComponent to wrap an existing React component, then define prop types to make them available in the Webflow Designer.

3

Import components to Webflow

Use DevLink to bundle and publish your components as a shared library for users to install across a workspace.

4

Install components to a site

Install code components as a shared library on any Webflow site in your workspace.

5

Design visually

Drag and drop components onto the canvas, configure props and slots in the right panel, and customize styling through each site’s variables to integrate with a specific design system.
