Extracting UI components for design iteration involves pulling existing components and their dependencies into a mockup sandbox, rewriting import paths, and stubbing external dependencies to ensure compatibility for isolated visualization without altering the original codebase.

Dependency stubbing for mockup UI components analyzes the extracted component's external dependencies and rewrites import paths, ensuring the component operates independently within the sandbox environment without requiring the full main application context.

Iframe embedding can be used to visualize extracted UI components by placing the rewritten component directly onto the canvas, allowing designers to iterate on variants and view the mockup design within an isolated sandbox frame.

The best way to iterate on UI variants without modifying the original codebase is to extract the target component into a mockup sandbox, rewrite import paths, stub external dependencies, and use iframe embedding for visual reference and design iteration.

Extracting a UI component for a mockup sandbox requires component and dependency analysis to automatically rewrite import paths and stub external dependencies, ensuring the extracted design iteration functions correctly in its new environment.
