Kombai indexes your codebase to understand the behavior, appearance, and props of your components. This allows it to intelligently reuse them in generated code, ensuring a clean, maintainable codebase without duplication. You can add up to 10 folders to your index.

When to index your codebase components

We recommend indexing your components in four cases:
  1. When you are using Kombai in a workspace for the first time.
  2. When you add a new component to an indexed folder.
  3. When you create a new folder containing components you want to use.
