Design to Code

Convert Figma to Angular Code Using AI

July 22, 2025

Written By Matt Abrams

Angular developers have a love-hate relationship with design handoffs. The designer drops a Figma file that looks like it was crafted by the UI gods. Perfect spacing, smooth animations, components that somehow look both minimal and rich at the same time.

Then reality hits. You're trying to figure out if that card component needs ngFor, ngIf, or both. The designer used a custom dropdown that doesn't exist in Angular Material. What should take two hours turns into two days of architectural decisions disguised as "making it pixel perfect."

What is Fusion

Fusion is the first visual AI agent that can autonomously build and edit enterprise-scale Angular applications with proper TypeScript components and backend services. It integrates directly with your existing codebase, understands your Angular architecture and design system, and matches your team’s existing patterns. It'll even submit a PR for you.

You can use Fusion directly in your browser or install the VS Code extension to work right inside your preferred IDE.

Instead of spitting out massive component files with hardcoded values, Fusion builds modular Angular code with proper service injection, reactive forms validation, and TypeScript interfaces. It understands when to break things into smaller components, how to handle Angular Material theming, and when to use standalone components versus a traditional NgModule architecture.

Here are seven ways that Fusion accelerates Angular development:

Anyone can ship code using Fusion’s visual development platform. While traditional Angular development means switching between your code editor, the browser, and back to your code editor in an endless cycle, Fusion centralizes the experience. Whether you run Fusion as a web app or as a VS Code extension inside your favorite IDE, the experience is the same.

You're not just moving pixels around. You're building real Angular code that your team can maintain and extend. It will even create a PR for you.

Remember that multi-step signup wizard buried in your Figma file? Instead of building each step as a separate component and then wrestling with Angular's router and form state, Fusion understands how the screens connect.

Show it your three-step signup flow, write a quick prompt, and it'll generate Angular code with proper reactive forms, route guards, and step-by-step navigation. The form validation works across all steps, the data persists between routes, and everything responds to mobile without you touching a single CSS breakpoint.

Fusion analyzes your current design system and patterns, whether you’re using pure Angular Material, Tailwind CSS, or anything else. This means you can rapidly prototype and build custom Material components—like specialized data visualizations, complex form layouts, or industry-specific UI elements—while maintaining perfect consistency with Angular Material's design language and accessibility standards.

The platform's real strength lies in bridging the gap between design requirements and technical implementation within the Material ecosystem. This approach significantly reduces the development time for custom Material components while maintaining the robust, accessible foundation that Angular Material provides.

Figma's Dev Mode is supposed to make handoffs easier by giving you CSS code straight from the design. But try to copy that CSS into your Angular component, and you'll end up with brittle styles that break on different screen sizes and don't play well with Angular Material components or your existing design system.

Fusion takes Figma's design intent and translates it into proper Angular code that fits your application. Instead of copying generic CSS, you get component-scoped styles that follow Angular's ViewEncapsulation, responsive classes that work with your breakpoint system, and proper integration with whatever CSS framework your team uses.

Figma's component variants are brilliant for designers but a nightmare for developers. In Figma, it's one clean component with organized properties. In your Angular codebase, you're looking at a mess of conditional logic, template switching, and CSS classes to handle every possible combination.

Fusion understands Figma's variant system and translates it into proper Angular component architecture. It generates components with well-structured @Input() properties that mirror your Figma variants, and builds template logic that handles state changes without turning into spaghetti code.

Fusion generates responsive Angular code with clean, maintainable breakpoint logic that follows your design system's responsive patterns. Instead of writing media queries, you get components that understand how your layouts should behave at different screen sizes based on your Figma responsive frames. Fusion can also match any major CSS framework your team might be using.

Follow these steps to transform your Figma designs into working Angular applications in minutes instead of days:

First, connect Fusion to your existing Angular project. The AI must understand your current component structure, design system, and coding patterns to generate code that fits your application.

Instead of manually inspecting design tokens and copying CSS values, use our Figma to code plugin to share your Figma designs with Fusion. The AI can access your designs directly through Figma's API, understanding not just the visual layout but the component structure, variants, and design system tokens your designer used.

Fusion reads your Figma components, auto-layout configurations, and responsive breakpoints. It understands the relationship between different frames and how your designer intended the user flow to work. This gives the AI the context it needs to generate not just individual components, but complete Angular applications with proper navigation and state management.

The AI understands Angular's architecture deeply enough to create components with appropriate lifecycle hooks, proper change detection strategies, and integration with Angular Material or your existing component library. It generates code that follows Angular best practices, handles edge cases, and works across different screen sizes without manual tweaking.

Once Fusion generates your Angular code, it can create a proper pull request in your repository with organized commits, clear descriptions, and code ready for review. Your team can see exactly what was generated and why.

You can review the changes, request modifications by tagging @builderio-bot in a PR comment, and merge the code when you're satisfied.

Converting Figma designs to Angular code requires more than just copying visual elements. The difference between a quick hack and maintainable code lies in following established practices that make your components scalable, reusable, and easy to maintain.

Good Angular development means creating components with clear interfaces that can be reused across your application. This requires thinking about what inputs the component needs, what events it should emit, and how it fits into your larger component ecosystem.

Fusion generates Angular components with well-designed TypeScript interfaces and proper component APIs from the start. It analyzes your Figma components and creates Angular components with sensible @Input() properties, @Output() events, and interfaces that make the component's contract clear. Instead of building throwaway components, you get reusable building blocks that work across your entire application.

Angular's strength comes partly from TypeScript's type safety, but it's easy to fall back on any types or skip proper error handling when you're rushing to match a design. Proper typing means defining interfaces for your data, handling edge cases, and ensuring your components fail gracefully when something goes wrong.

Fusion generates components with comprehensive TypeScript interfaces, proper error boundaries, and defensive coding practices. It creates type-safe components that handle loading states, error conditions, and edge cases that static designs can't show you.

Angular's change detection system is powerful, but can become a performance bottleneck if you're not careful. Best practices include using OnPush change detection strategy, implementing proper trackBy functions for lists, and avoiding expensive operations in templates. Many developers skip these optimizations when converting Figma designs, leading to sluggish applications.

Fusion generates Angular code with performance best practices built in. It uses appropriate change detection strategies, implements proper trackBy functions for dynamic lists, and structures component templates to avoid unnecessary re-renders. The generated code follows Angular's performance guidelines without you having to remember every optimization technique.

The biggest mistake in Figma-to-Angular conversion is creating components that look right but don't integrate with your existing design system. This leads to inconsistent spacing, colors that don't match your theme, and components that break when your design system evolves. Proper integration means using design tokens, following your established styling patterns, and ensuring components are built using your design system library.

Fusion generates components that integrate seamlessly with your existing design system and styling conventions. It understands your CSS custom properties, design tokens, and component styling patterns, then creates components that use your established design system instead of hardcoded values.

Converting Figma designs to Angular code doesn't have to be a slow, manual process that eats up your development time. With Fusion AI, you can transform your designs into production-ready Angular code in minutes, not days.

Stop copying CSS values by hand. Stop building the same components over and over. Stop wrestling with responsive breakpoints or trying to guess how your designer intended the interactions to work.

The future of frontend development is here, and it's visual.
