I’ve designed a form using Telerik UI components in Figma and now I need to implement it in my Blazor project. I’m not sure about the best approach to take this design from Figma and make it work as an actual functional form in Blazor.
What steps should I follow to convert my Figma design into working Blazor code? Do I need to manually recreate each component or is there a more efficient way to handle this integration?
I’m particularly interested in maintaining the visual consistency between my Figma mockup and the final Blazor implementation. Any guidance on this workflow would be really helpful.
the figma to blazor workflow is honestly painful but doable. i export assets first - icons, images, exact hex codes. then i build the razor markup structure before touching any styling. telerik components customize pretty well, but you’ll need custom css classes to nail the spacing and typography exactly like figma shows.
I’ve done this before - start with a component audit. Open Figma next to the Telerik Blazor docs and map out which components match your design elements. It’ll save you tons of time later. Here’s what worked for me: grab all your design tokens from Figma first (colors, fonts, spacing, border radius, everything). Set these up as CSS custom properties in your Blazor project before you touch any components. When you customize Telerik stuff, you’ll have consistent values across the board. Heads up - some Figma elements won’t have direct Telerik matches. You’ll need to combine components or add custom HTML. I always hunt for these problem areas upfront so they don’t bite me during coding.
You’ll need to manually recreate the components - there’s no direct tool for converting Figma designs to Telerik Blazor components. Start by examining your Figma design and matching each element to the right Telerik UI component (buttons, inputs, dropdowns, etc.). Grab the exact spacing, colors, and fonts from Figma, then customize the Telerik components with CSS properties to match. I usually screenshot each section and work through it piece by piece. The default Telerik themes won’t match your design perfectly, so you’ll definitely need to override CSS styles or add custom styling to get the look you want.
