DevLink

Export and sync Webflow Designer components to React/Next.js code with validation, diffs, and integration guidance.

Important Note

ALWAYS use Bash tool for all Webflow CLI operations:

• Execute webflow devlink sync via Bash tool
• Use Read tool to examine synced files and webflow.json (never modify)
• Use Glob tool to discover generated components
• Verify CLI installation: webflow --version
• Check authentication: Use webflow auth login for site authentication
• DO NOT use Webflow MCP tools for CLI workflows
• All CLI commands require proper descriptions (not context parameters)

Package Manager Detection:

• Check for lock files: package-lock.json (npm), pnpm-lock.yaml (pnpm), yarn.lock (yarn)
• If no lock file found, ask user which package manager to use (npm/pnpm/yarn)
• Use detected package manager for all install/build commands

Instructions

Phase 1: Environment Verification

1. Verify CLI installed: Run webflow --version to confirm CLI is installed
2. Check authentication: Verify site authentication (created via webflow auth login)
3. Discover project state: Check if webflow.json exists with devlink configuration
4. Identify target framework: Determine if React, Next.js, or other

Phase 2: DevLink Configuration

1. Check for existing config: Look for webflow.json with devlink section
2. Read configuration: If exists, show current devlink settings:

- rootDir: Directory to export components into - cssModules: Whether to use CSS modules - fileExtensions: File extensions for generated files - Other configuration options

1. Ask operation type: Clarify what user wants to do:

- Configure DevLink for first time - Sync all components - Sync specific components (using components regex pattern) - Update existing sync

1. Store baseline (if updating): Use Read tool to capture current files before sync

Phase 3: Sync Execution

1. Run sync command: Execute webflow devlink sync with options:

- --api-token or -t: Override API token from.env - --site-id or -s: Override site ID from.env

1. Monitor sync progress: Show CLI output and sync status
2. Capture sync results: Record files created/modified in rootDir
3. Validate generated code:

- Check for TypeScript errors (if using TS) - Verify import statements - Confirm component exports - Check CSS module references

Phase 4: Analysis & Diff Preview

1. Compare before/after: Show what changed:

- New files created in rootDir - Existing files modified - Components added or updated

1. Show file diffs: Display key changes for modified files
2. Analyze component structure:

- Component count - New components added - Updated components - CSS files generated

1. List dependencies: Show what needs to be imported

Phase 5: Integration Guidance

1. Provide import statements: Show exact code to import components
2. Show usage examples: Demonstrate how to use each component
3. Document sync timestamp: Record when sync occurred
4. Provide next steps: Guide user on testing and integration

Examples

Example 1: First-Time DevLink Setup

User prompt:

Sync my Webflow components to my Next.js project

Step 1: Environment Verification

🔍 DevLink Environment Check

Checking CLI installation...
✓ Webflow CLI installed: v1.5.2

Current directory: /Users/user/projects/my-nextjs-app
Framework detected: Next.js 14

Checking for DevLink configuration...
⚠️ No webflow.json with devlink configuration found

This appears to be your first DevLink sync.
Ready to configure? (yes/no)

*User confirms: yes*

Step 2: Configuration Setup

📋 DevLink Configuration

DevLink syncs Webflow components to your local project as React code.

Configuration needed in webflow.json:

{
  "devlink": {
    "rootDir": "./devlink",           // Where to export components
    "cssModules": true,                // Use CSS modules
    "fileExtensions": {
      "js": "jsx"                      // or "tsx" for TypeScript
    }
  }
}

I'll help you create this configuration.

Questions:
1. Where should components be exported? (default: ./devlink)
2. Use TypeScript? (yes for tsx, no for jsx)
3. Use CSS modules? (recommended: yes)

*User provides:./src/devlink, yes (TypeScript), yes (CSS modules)*

Creating webflow.json configuration...

{
  "devlink": {
    "rootDir": "./src/devlink",
    "cssModules": true,
    "fileExtensions": {
      "js": "tsx"
    }
  }
}

✓ Configuration created

⚠️ Authentication Required:
DevLink needs your Webflow site ID and API token.

Run: webflow auth login
This will create a .env file with:
- WEBFLOW_SITE_ID
- WEBFLOW_SITE_API_TOKEN

After authentication, run sync again.

Example 2: First Sync After Configuration

User prompt:

Run the DevLink sync

Step 1: Verification

Example 4: Sync Specific Components

User prompt:

Only sync the navigation component from Webflow

Configuration Update:

📋 Filtering Components

To sync only specific components, update webflow.json:

Current configuration: {"devlink": {"rootDir": "./src/devlink", "cssModules": true, "fileExtensions": {"js": "tsx"}}}

Add components regex pattern: {"devlink": {"rootDir": "./src/devlink", "cssModules": true, "fileExtensions": {"js": "tsx"}, "components": "Navigation" // Regex pattern to match}}

Pattern options:

- "Navigation" - Only Navigation component
- "Nav.*" - All components starting with "Nav"
- "Navigation|Footer" - Multiple specific components
- ".*" - All components (default)

Update webflow.json? (yes/no)

*User confirms: yes*

✓ Configuration updated

Syncing with filter: "Navigation"

Executing: webflow devlink sync

Output: ✓ Connecting to Webflow site ✓ Fetching components ✓ Applying filter: Navigation ✓ Exporting 1 component

📁 Generated:./src/devlink/ ├── index.ts ├── Navigation.tsx └── Navigation.module.css

✅ Synced 1 component (Navigation only)

Example 5: Override Site ID and Token

User prompt:

Sync from a different Webflow site

Response:

🔄 Sync from Different Site

To sync from a different site, use --site-id and --api-token options.

Get credentials:

1. Go to Webflow site settings
2. Get Site ID
3. Generate API token (if needed)

Sync command:

webflow devlink sync --site-id <SITE_ID> --api-token <API_TOKEN>

Example:

webflow devlink sync \ --site-id 5f8a9b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k \ --api-token wfp_1234567890abcdef

This overrides the.env file values for this sync only.

⚠️ Note: You can also:

1. Update.env file with new WEBFLOW_SITE_ID and WEBFLOW_SITE_API_TOKEN
2. Or maintain multiple.env files (.env.site1,.env.site2)
3. Then run: webflow devlink sync (uses.env)

Proceed with override? (yes/no)

Example 6: TypeScript Configuration

User prompt:

Set up DevLink with TypeScript

Response:

📋 DevLink TypeScript Configuration

For TypeScript projects, configure file extensions:

webflow.json: {"devlink": {"rootDir": "./src/devlink", "cssModules": true, "fileExtensions": {"js": "tsx" // Use.tsx for TypeScript}}}

Benefits: ✓ Type-safe components ✓ Better IDE support ✓ Auto-completion ✓ Compile-time error checking

After sync, components will be generated as:

- Navigation.tsx (instead of.jsx)
- Hero.tsx
- Footer.tsx

Usage with TypeScript:

import { Navigation } from '@/src/devlink'

export default function Layout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) { return ( <div> <Navigation /> {children} </div> ) }

Ready to sync? (yes/no)

Guidelines

Phase 1: CLI Verification

Installation Check:

# Check if CLI is installed
webflow --version

# If not installed, guide user:
npm install -g @webflow/webflow-cli

Authentication Check:

# Site authentication creates .env file
# Check for:
cat .env

# Should contain:
# WEBFLOW_SITE_ID=your-site-id
# WEBFLOW_SITE_API_TOKEN=your-token

# If missing, authenticate:
webflow auth login

Phase 2: Configuration

webflow.json DevLink Schema:

{
  "devlink": {
    "rootDir": "./devlink",
    "cssModules": true,
    "fileExtensions": {
      "js": "jsx"
    }
  }
}

All Configuration Options:

Common Configurations:

React with JavaScript:

{
  "devlink": {
    "rootDir": "./src/components/webflow",
    "cssModules": true,
    "fileExtensions": {
      "js": "jsx"
    }
  }
}

Next.js with TypeScript:

{
  "devlink": {
    "rootDir": "./src/devlink",
    "cssModules": true,
    "fileExtensions": {
      "js": "tsx"
    }
  }
}

Sync Specific Components:

{
  "devlink": {
    "rootDir": "./src/devlink",
    "cssModules": true,
    "components": "Navigation|Hero|Footer"
  }
}

Phase 3: Sync Command

Basic Sync:

# Uses webflow.json config and .env credentials
webflow devlink sync

Sync with Options:

# Override site ID
webflow devlink sync --site-id 5f8a9b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k

# Override API token
webflow devlink sync --api-token wfp_1234567890abcdef

# Override both
webflow devlink sync \
  --site-id 5f8a9b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k \
  --api-token wfp_1234567890abcdef

# Short flags
webflow devlink sync -s <site-id> -t <api-token>

Sync Options:

• --api-token / -t: The API token to use, overriding the .env file
• --site-id / -s: The site ID to sync from, overriding the .env file

Phase 4: Generated Files

Directory Structure: After sync, rootDir contains:

./devlink/
├── index.ts                  // Module exports
├── ComponentName.tsx         // Component file
├── ComponentName.module.css  // Component styles (if cssModules: true)
├── AnotherComponent.tsx
├── AnotherComponent.module.css
└── _webflow-style.css        // Global Webflow styles

Component Structure: Generated components are React functional components:

import React from 'react'
import styles from './ComponentName.module.css'

export function ComponentName() {
  return (
    <div className={styles.container}>
      {/* Component markup */}
    </div>
  )
}

Index File: Exports all components for easy importing:

export { ComponentName } from './ComponentName'
export { AnotherComponent } from './AnotherComponent'

    "fileExtensions": {
      "js": "jsx"  // or "tsx" for TypeScript
    }
  }
}

Required fields:
- rootDir: Where to export components

After configuration, run: webflow devlink sync

Sync Failures:

❌ Sync Failed

Error: [Specific error from CLI]

Common Causes:
- Network connection issues
- Invalid site ID or API token
- Insufficient permissions
- Site has no components to export

Solutions:
1. Check internet connection
2. Verify credentials in .env
3. Check site permissions in Webflow
4. Ensure site has published components
5. Try: webflow devlink sync --site-id <id> --api-token <token>

Invalid Site ID:

❌ Invalid Site ID

The provided site ID is invalid or inaccessible.

Check:
1. Verify WEBFLOW_SITE_ID in .env
2. Ensure you have access to the site
3. Check site ID in Webflow dashboard

Get site ID:
1. Open site in Webflow
2. Go to Site Settings
3. Find Site ID in General tab

Update .env and retry sync.

File Operations

Reading Files: Always use Read tool (never modify):

# View DevLink configuration
Read: webflow.json

# View environment
Read: .env

# View generated component
Read: ./devlink/Navigation.tsx

# View generated styles
Read: ./devlink/Navigation.module.css

Discovering Files: Use Glob tool to find files:

# Find all generated components
Glob: ./devlink/**/*.tsx

# Find all CSS modules
Glob: ./devlink/**/*.module.css

# Find configuration
Glob: webflow.json

Never Use Write/Edit Tools:

• Don't create webflow.json with Write (show user the structure)
• Don't modify generated components
• Let CLI handle file generation
• Only read files to show content and diffs

Best Practices

Configuration:

• Keep webflow.json in project root
• Use TypeScript (.tsx) for better type safety
• Enable CSS modules for scoped styling
• Use specific component regex patterns for large sites

Development Workflow:

1. Design in Webflow Designer
2. Publish changes
3. Run webflow devlink sync
4. Review diffs before integrating
5. Test components in your app

Integration:

• Import global styles (_webflow-style.css) in app entry point
• Import components where needed
• Don't modify generated files (will be overwritten)
• Wrap DevLink components if customization needed

Version Control:

• Commit webflow.json
• Add.env to.gitignore
• Commit generated devlink/ directory (or add to.gitignore)
• Document last sync timestamp

Multiple Sites:

• Use different rootDir for each site
• Or use components pattern to filter
• Override credentials with --site-id and --api-token
• Maintain separate.env files

Quick Reference

Workflow: configure webflow.json → authenticate → sync

Key Commands:

• webflow devlink sync - Sync components from Webflow
• webflow devlink sync -s <id> -t <token> - Sync with overrides

Sync Options:

• -s / --site-id - Override site ID
• -t / --api-token - Override API token

Configuration: webflow.json with devlink section

Schema (Required):

{
  "devlink": {
    "rootDir": "./devlink"  // Required
  }
}

Schema (Common):
