Omlet - Boost your component usage insights

Omlet functions primarily through analytics and data visualization integrated into your coding environment. By embedding into VS Code, it allows developers to access component insights directly while they work, making understanding usage patterns easier than ever. This process works through several key features:

• Component Scanning: Omlet scans all React components in your codebase, including regular and design system components, providing a comprehensive view of usage.
• Real-time Insights: As developers code, they receive notifications on how components and their props are being utilized, showcasing potential issues right when they're relevant.
• Access Control: Users can control which parts of their code Omlet scans, ensuring no sensitive code is uploaded or stored.
• Custom Dashboards: Create tailored dashboards that track design system performance metrics and adoption trends over time, making it easy to spot gaps and drive improvements.
• Enhanced Collaboration: Teams can work together more effectively by sharing insights and understanding component usage better, allowing for strategic, data-driven decisions.

Getting started with Omlet is easy! Follow these steps to begin analyzing your component usage effectively:

1. Set Up Omlet: First, install the Omlet extension in your VS Code. This will integrate the component insights directly into your development environment.
2. Configure Your Scans: Go to the Omlet settings and define which directories or files you want Omlet to scan, ensuring you cover your key components.
3. Start Coding: As you write code, take advantage of real-time notifications about component usage. This is a great way to catch any issues or understand how to leverage existing components effectively.
4. Access Your Dashboard: Navigate to your Omlet Dashboard which offers a complete overview of component utilization. Use this data to make informed choices about design system adoption and improvements.
5. Monitor Changes: Over time, re-evaluate your components and usage patterns with the dashboard. Use the collected data to inform your development roadmap, ensuring you are continually improving your design system strategy.

Omlet provides a powerful solution for developers seeking to improve component visibility and adoption within their design systems. With real-time insights, a customizable dashboard, and the ease of installation within VS Code, your team can eliminate technical debt and enhance the user experience efficiently. By understanding component usage better, you can drive more informed decisions and optimize your projects for success in today's code-driven landscape.
