To transform an approved UI mockup into production code, you extract its design decisions and adapt them to the main app's routing, state management, and component library. This integrates the prototype by replacing mock data with real data and aligning assets with app conventions.

Integrating a mockup variant into the main app routing involves analyzing the app's existing routes and state, then wiring the mockup's UI components into those patterns. It ensures the new UI is accessible and validated within the main application flow.

To replace mock data with real data during mockup graduation, you map the self-contained prototype's data structures to the main app's live state management and API endpoints. This verifies end-to-end integration and removes sandbox dependencies.

Graduating a mockup does require installing missing dependencies in the main app. The transformation process explicitly checks for and installs required packages, replacing sandbox assets with production assets to satisfy production-readiness requirements.

The best way to align sandbox UI assets with production conventions is to analyze the main app's component library and adapt the mockup's layout and interactions to match. This ensures the transformed code validates end-to-end within the main app.

Integrating a mockup into production requires updating the main app's state management. The graduation process specifically wires routing and state management to ensure the UI components function correctly with real application data.
