Abstract:
Implementations of the subject technology provide for receiving code associated with a representation of a user interface (UI) element, wherein the code is included in a project in an integrated development environment (IDE). The subject technology further provides for determining a set of dynamically generated editors for modifying the representation of the UI element based on an analysis of the code at least in part on contextual information related to the UI element, and querying for a set of actions associated with the selection, the set of dynamically generated editors being generated based at least in part on an analysis of the code. In addition, the subject technology displays a tool for graphically modifying the representation of the UI element, the tool including a set of graphical elements corresponding to the determined set of dynamically generated editors, where the graphically modifying transforms code associated with the representation of the UI element.
