Chapter 2

Detailed explanation of web editing tools

Learn how to use web-editing AI tools such as v0 and bolt.new, understand technologies like WebContainers, and rapidly build web applications.

v0: generate UI from natural language

v0 is an AI UI generation tool from Vercel that can quickly generate React components from natural language descriptions.

Core features

  • • Natural language input: Describe UI requirements in Chinese or English
  • • Instant preview: View the generated UI effects in real time
  • • Code export: Generate complete React/Next.js code
  • • Iterative optimization: Continuously improve the UI through dialogue

Figma integration

v0 can directly generate code from Figma designs:

  • • Import Figma design files
  • • Automatically identify design elements
  • • Generate the corresponding React component
  • • Maintain design fidelity

One-click deployment

  • • Direct deployment to Vercel
  • • Automated CI/CD configuration
  • • Supports custom domains
  • • Production-ready

bolt.new: full-stack development in the browser

bolt.new is based on StackBlitz's WebContainers technology, allowing you to complete full-stack development in the browser without a local environment.

WebContainers technology

WebContainers are StackBlitz's core technology, running a Node.js environment in the browser:

1
No installation required: runs directly in the browser, no local Node.js required
2
Complete environment: Supports package managers such as npm, yarn, pnpm
3
Real-time collaboration: multi-user real-time editing and preview
4
Quick Start: Starts in seconds, no need to wait for environment setup

Full-stack development

  • • Frontend + backend development
  • • Database integration
  • • API development
  • • Real-time preview

AI-enhanced

  • • AI code generation
  • • Natural language to code
  • • Intelligent completion
  • • Code explanation
