* 🧠 Sends DOM elements & more metadata to your AI agent
* 🧪 Comes with examples for React, Vue, Svelte and more
📖 Quickstart
$3
Install the extension from the extension store of your code editor:
- Cursor: cursor:extension/frontext.frontext-vscode-extension
- VS Code: vscode:extension/frontext.frontext-vscode-extension
- Trae: trae:extension/frontext.frontext-vscode-extension
- Windsurf: windsurf:extension/frontext.frontext-vscode-extension

> [!TIP]
> 🪄 AI-Assisted Setup (recommended):
> 1. In Cursor, Press CMD + Shift + P
> 2. Enter setupToolbar
> 3. Execute the command and the toolbar will init automatically 🦄
Or follow the Manual Setup:
Install @frontext/toolbar:
``bash`
pnpm i -D @frontext/toolbar
Inject the toolbar into your app dev-mode:
`ts
// 1. Import the toolbar
import { initToolbar } from '@frontext/toolbar';
// 2. Define your toolbar configuration
const frontextConfig = {
plugins: [],
};
// 3. Initialize the toolbar when your app starts
// Framework-agnostic approach - call this when your app initializes
function setupStagewise() {
// Only initialize once and only in development mode
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
initToolbar(frontextConfig);
}
}
// Call the setup function when appropriate for your framework
setupStagewise();
`
> ⚡️ The toolbar will automatically connect to the extension!

The toolbar should appear in the bottom right corner of your web app. If not, please reach out via Discord.

For easier integration, we provide framework-specific NPM packages that come with dedicated toolbar components (e.g., ). You can usually import these from @frontext/toolbar-[framework-name].
React.js
We provide the @frontext/toolbar-react package for React projects. Initialize the toolbar in your main entry file (e.g., src/main.tsx) by creating a separate React root for it. This ensures it doesn't interfere with your main application tree.
`tsx
// src/main.tsx
import { StrictMode } from 'react';
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
import App from './App.tsx';
import { StagewiseToolbar } from '@frontext/toolbar-react';
import './index.css';
// Render the main app
createRoot(document.getElementById('root')!).render(
);
// Initialize toolbar separately
const toolbarConfig = {
plugins: [], // Add your custom plugins here
};
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
const toolbarRoot = document.createElement('div');
toolbarRoot.id = 'frontext-toolbar-root'; // Ensure a unique ID
document.body.appendChild(toolbarRoot);
createRoot(toolbarRoot).render(
);
});
`
Next.js
Use the @frontext/toolbar-next package for Next.js applications. Include the component in your root layout file (src/app/layout.tsx).
`tsx
// src/app/layout.tsx
import { StagewiseToolbar } from '@frontext/toolbar-next';
export default function RootLayout({
children,
}: Readonly<{
children: React.ReactNode;
}>) {
return (
plugins: [], // Add your custom plugins here
}}
/>
{children}
);
}
`
Nuxt.js
For Nuxt.js projects, you can use the
package. Place the component in your app.vue or a relevant layout file.`vue
// app.vue
`
Vue.js
Use the
package for Vue.js projects. Add the component to your main App component (e.g., App.vue).`vue
// src/App.vue
`
SvelteKit
For SvelteKit, you can integrate the toolbar using
and Svelte's lifecycle functions, or look for a dedicated @frontext/toolbar-svelte package if available. Create a component that conditionally renders/initializes the toolbar on the client side (e.g., src/lib/components/StagewiseToolbarLoader.svelte or directly in src/routes/+layout.svelte).Using
onMount in +layout.svelte (with @frontext/toolbar):
`svelte
`Using a loader component (example from repository):
The example repository uses a
which wraps ToolbarWrapper.svelte. ToolbarWrapper.svelte would then call initToolbar from @frontext/toolbar.`svelte
{#if browser}
{/if}
`
You would then use in your src/routes/+layout.svelte.
