Setting up a local development environment for Webflow code components involves initializing the project structure, installing dependencies, and configuring the webflow.json file. An automated setup command can generate starter files and example components to streamline this process.

Webflow code component development supports TypeScript and React. The local project setup configures the TypeScript environment and generates starter files including React component definitions, glob patterns, and basic styling.

The best way to initialize a new Webflow code components project structure is using an automated setup command. This reduces manual configuration by automatically generating project directories, installing required packages, and creating example starter files.

You can automatically generate starter files for your Webflow code component project. The initialization process creates an example component, a definition file, and basic styling to help you start coding immediately without manual file creation.

You do not need to manually configure webflow.json when starting a code components project. The automated setup process configures the webflow.json file, sets up component glob patterns, and configures necessary globals for you.
