## šØ Icons & Images
### Auto-Detection
The generator automatically detects and converts:
#### Icons (Small Vector Elements)
**Detected when:**
- Size ā¤ 64px Ć 64px
- Nearly square shape
- Name contains: icon, logo, symbol
- Type: VECTOR or BOOLEAN_OPERATION
**Converted to:**
```html
<i class="fas fa-user" aria-hidden="true"></i>
```

| arrow-right | Right arrow | `fa-arrow-right` |
| arrow-left | Left arrow | `fa-arrow-left` |
| bell, notification | Notification | `fa-bell` |
| calendar, date | Calendar | `fa-calendar` |
| location, map, pin | Location | `fa-map-marker-alt` |
| download | Download | `fa-download` |
| share | Share | `fa-share-alt` |
| edit, pencil | Edit | `fa-edit` |
| trash, delete | Delete | `fa-trash` |
### Customizing Icons
#### Change Icon Class
Edit the HTML to use a different icon:
```html
<!-- Generated -->
<i class="fas fa-circle"></i>
<!-- Change to specific icon -->
<i class="fas fa-user"></i>
<i class="fas fa-heart"></i>
<i class="fab fa-facebook"></i>
```
Browse all icons: https://fontawesome.com/icons
#### Icon Styles
Font Awesome has different styles:
- `fas` - Solid (default)
- `far` - Regular (outline)
- `fab` - Brands (social media, companies)
- `fal` - Light (Pro only)
- `fad` - Duotone (Pro only)
```html
<!-- Solid -->
<i class="fas fa-star"></i>
<!-- Regular/Outline -->
<i class="far fa-star"></i>
<!-- Brand -->
<i class="fab fa-twitter"></i>
```
#### Icon Sizing
Use Bootstrap or Font Awesome classes:
```html
<!-- Font Awesome sizes -->
<i class="fas fa-user fa-xs"></i> <!-- Extra small -->
<i class="fas fa-user fa-sm"></i> <!-- Small -->
<i class="fas fa-user"></i> <!-- Default -->
<i class="fas fa-user fa-lg"></i> <!-- Large -->
<i class="fas fa-user fa-2x"></i> <!-- 2x -->
<i class="fas fa-user fa-3x"></i> <!-- 3x -->
<!-- Custom size -->
<i class="fas fa-user" style="font-size: 32px;"></i>
```
### Replacing Placeholder Images
#### Option 1: Direct URL Replacement
```html
<!-- Generated -->
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/300x200" class="img-fluid">
<!-- Replace with your image -->
<img src="/images/my-photo.jpg" class="img-fluid">
<img src="https://example.com/assets/banner.png" class="img-fluid">
```
#### Option 2: Better Placeholder Services
```html
<!-- Unsplash (random photos) -->
<img src="https://source.unsplash.com/300x200/?nature" class="img-fluid">
<!-- Lorem Picsum (random images) -->
<img src="https://picsum.photos/300/200" class="img-fluid">
<!-- Placeholder with custom text -->
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/300x200/0099ff/ffffff?text=Logo" class="img-fluid">
```
#### Option 3: Local Images
```html
<!-- Put images in output/images/ folder -->
<img src="images/logo.png" class="img-fluid">
<img src="images/hero-banner.jpg" class="img-fluid">
```
### Image Classes
Bootstrap provides helpful image utilities:
```html
<!-- Responsive (scales with container) -->
<img src="..." class="img-fluid">
<!-- Thumbnail style -->
<img src="..." class="img-thumbnail">
<!-- Rounded corners -->
<img src="..." class="img-fluid rounded">
<!-- Circle crop -->
<img src="..." class="rounded-circle">
<!-- Float -->
<img src="..." class="float-start">
<img src="..." class="float-end">
```
## šØ Workflow for Matching the Design
### Step 1: Generate Files
```bash
npx tsx tests/test-bootstrap-enhanced.ts
```
### Step 2: Open Side-by-Side
- Open `newsletter-example.html` in browser
- Open `newsletter-example-screenshot.png` in image viewer
- Position windows side-by-side
### Step 3: Edit SCSS
Edit `newsletter-example.scss` with improvements:
```scss
.newsletter-example {
// Add Bootstrap utilities in HTML instead:
// <div class="newsletter-example shadow-lg rounded">
.header {
// Refine spacing
padding: 2rem;
// Add hover effects
&:hover {
background-color: rgb(248, 249, 250);
}
}
.content {
// Use Bootstrap grid
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(300px, 1fr));
gap: 1.5rem;
}
}
```
### Step 4: Re-compile (if needed)
To re-compile SCSS changes:
```bash
# Using npx
npx sass output/newsletter-example.scss output/newsletter-example.css
# Then update HTML <style> tag with new CSS
```
### Step 5: Use Bootstrap Utilities
Add Bootstrap classes directly in HTML:
```html
<div class="newsletter-example shadow-lg rounded">
<header class="p-4 bg-primary text-white">
<h1 class="display-4">Newsletter</h1>
</header>
<div class="row g-3 p-4">
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="card h-100">
<div class="card-body">
<!-- Content -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
```
Common Bootstrap utilities to use:
- **Spacing**: `p-4`, `m-3`, `px-5`, `my-2`, `g-3`
- **Colors**: `bg-primary`, `text-white`, `bg-light`
- **Layout**: `container`, `row`, `col-md-6`, `d-flex`
- **Components**: `card`, `btn`, `badge`, `alert`
- **Effects**: `shadow`, `rounded`, `border`
## š Comparison: Before vs After
### Before (Old Generator)
```css
.frame-2068-24962 {
position: relative;
width: 1040px; /* ā Fixed width */
height: 836px; /* ā Fixed height */
background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1); /* ā Verbose */
padding: 10px; /* ā Inconsistent units */
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.frame-2068-24963 { /* ā Cryptic ID-based names */
position: relative;
width: 1040px;
}
```
**Problems:**
- ā Fixed pixel widths (not responsive)
- ā Cryptic class names (hard to understand)
- ā No CSS framework (reinventing the wheel)
- ā Flat structure (hard to maintain)
### After (Bootstrap-Enhanced)
```scss
.newsletter-example { /* ā
Semantic name from Figma */
width: 100%; /* ā
Responsive */
max-width: 1040px; /* ā
Constrained */
padding: 20px; /* ā
Consistent */
display: flex; /* ā
Modern layout */
flex-direction: column;
gap: 1rem; /* ā
Bootstrap units */
.header { /* ā
Nested, readable */
padding: 1rem;
}
}
```
**Benefits:**
- ā
Responsive by default
- ā
Semantic, readable names
- ā
Bootstrap utilities available
- ā
Nested SCSS structure
- ā
Easier to maintain
## š§ Advanced Customization
### Using Bootstrap Grid
Replace fixed positioning with Bootstrap grid:
```html
<div class="newsletter-example">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-8">
<!-- Main content -->
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">
<!-- Sidebar -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
```
### Adding Responsive Breakpoints
Edit SCSS for different screen sizes:
```scss
.newsletter-example {
padding: 20px;
@media (max-width: 768px) {
padding: 10px;
.header {
font-size: 1.5rem;
}
}
}
```
### Using Bootstrap Components
Replace custom HTML with Bootstrap components:
```html
<!-- Card component -->
<div class="card">
<div class="card-header">Header</div>
<div class="card-body">
<h5 class="card-title">Title</h5>
<p class="card-text">Content</p>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Button</a>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Alert component -->
<div class="alert alert-info" role="alert">
Information message
</div>
```
## šÆ Tips for Best Results
### 1. Start with Bootstrap Utilities
Before writing custom CSS, try Bootstrap classes:
```html
<!-- Instead of custom CSS -->
<div style="padding: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<!-- Use Bootstrap -->
<div class="p-4 mb-3">
```
### 2. Use Semantic Class Names
Rename generated classes to be more descriptive:
```scss
// Generated (ok but not great)
.c-2068-24963 {
padding: 1rem;
}
// Renamed (much better!)
.newsletter-header {
padding: 1rem;
}
```
### 3. Leverage Bootstrap Grid
Replace absolute positioning with grid:
```scss
// Instead of position: absolute
.newsletter-example {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(12, 1fr);
gap: 1rem;
.header {
grid-column: span 12;
}
.content {
grid-column: span 8;
}
.sidebar {
grid-column: span 4;
}
}
```
### 4. Add Interactions
Make it feel alive:
```scss
.card {
transition: transform 0.2s, box-shadow 0.2s;
&:hover {
transform: translateY(-4px);
box-shadow: 0 8px 16px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
}
}
```
### 5. Use CSS Variables
Make colors and spacing easy to adjust:
```scss
.newsletter-example {
--primary-color: rgb(1, 0, 65);
--spacing: 1rem;
--border-radius: 8px;
background-color: var(--primary-color);
padding: var(--spacing);
border-radius: var(--border-radius);
}
```

## š Troubleshooting
### SCSS Won't Compile
**Error:** `Expected identifier`
**Solution:** Class names starting with numbers are prefixed with `c-`
### Doesn't Look Like Screenshot
**Solution:**
1. Check spacing - adjust `padding`, `margin`, `gap`
2. Verify colors match (use DevTools eyedropper)
3. Compare font sizes and weights
4. Add Bootstrap utility classes
5. Use flexbox/grid for alignment
### Fixed Width Issues
**Solution:**
```scss
// Instead of
width: 1040px;
// Use
width: 100%;
max-width: 1040px;
```
### Not Responsive
**Solution:** Add Bootstrap grid and responsive utilities:
```html
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-4">
<!-- Responsive columns -->
</div>
</div>
```
