Extract UI components by pulling live source code into an isolated sandbox environment for visual iteration. This process handles dependency tracing, import path rewriting, and dependency stubbing to ensure components render correctly in isolation without affecting the main application.

Dependency stubbing automatically handles API calls, context providers, and routing to ensure isolated rendering of extracted frontend components. This mechanism allows components to render correctly in the sandbox by replacing external dependencies with functional placeholders during the extraction process.

Yes, you can safely copy components and their dependency trees into a dedicated sandbox to redesign production UI without causing visual drift. The main application remains unaffected while you create variants, redesign UI, or compare layouts using the exact production code as a baseline.

The best way to maintain visual fidelity when refactoring components into a sandbox is through precise mapping of component import chains and global style integration. This ensures that extracted components retain their exact production appearance during isolated visual iteration.

No, you do not need to manually rewrite import paths when pulling app components into a sandbox. The extraction process automatically handles import path rewriting and dependency tracing to ensure that the component dependency tree is correctly established in the isolated environment.

Extracted components fail to render correctly in isolation without dependency stubbing because API calls, context providers, and routing dependencies are missing. Stubbing provides functional replacements for these external dependencies, ensuring the component renders properly in the sandbox environment.
