UI Checker Bridge

Connect your browser-based UI inspection tools directly to your VS Code workspace. This extension acts as a secure, local bridge for the Figma CSS Diff Chrome extension.

🚀 Features

  • Locate in Code: Click a "Locate" button in your browser to instantly open the correct file and line in VS Code.
  • Smart Search: Advanced scoring algorithm that understands Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules, and standard CSS classes.
  • Multi-Window Support: Intelligently follows your focus if you have multiple VS Code windows open.
  • Auto-Takeover: Automatically claims the bridge port when you switch projects.

🛠 Setup

  1. Install from Marketplace: Search for UI Checker Bridge in the VS Code Extensions view or click the link.
  2. Ensure you have the Figma CSS Diff Chrome extension installed.
  3. The bridge starts automatically on port 9876. You can change this in VS Code settings if needed.

🧠 Smart Search Logic

The bridge uses a weighted scoring system to find the best match for your element:

  • ID Match: 100 points
  • Custom Class Match: 20 points
  • Active File Bonus: 50 points
  • Tailwind Aware: Automatically filters out utility noise like flex, p-4, and text-center to find the unique component code.

⚙️ Configuration

  • ui-checker-bridge.port: The WebSocket port (default: 9876).
  • ui-checker-bridge.autoTakeover: Enable/disable automatic port claiming on window focus.
