# screenshot-to-code
This simple app converts a screenshot to code (HTML/Tailwind CSS, or React or Bootstrap or Vue). It uses GPT-4 Vision to generate the code and DALL-E 3 to generate similar-looking images. You can now also enter a URL to clone a live website!

See the [Examples](#-examples) section below for more demos.
## 🚀 Try It Out!
🆕 [Try it here](https://screenshottocode.com) (bring your own OpenAI key - **your key must have access to GPT-4 Vision. See [FAQ](#%EF%B8%8F-faqs) section below for details**). Or see [Getting Started](#-getting-started) below for local install instructions.
## 🛠 Getting Started
The app has a React/Vite frontend and a FastAPI backend. You will need an OpenAI API key with access to the GPT-4 Vision API.
Run the backend (I use Poetry for package management - `pip install poetry` if you don't have it):
```bash
cd backend
echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key" > .env
poetry install
poetry shell
poetry run uvicorn main:app --reload --port 7001
```
Run the frontend:
```bash
cd frontend
yarn
yarn dev
```
Open http://localhost:5173 to use the app.
If you prefer to run the backend on a different port, update VITE_WS_BACKEND_URL in `frontend/.env.local`
For debugging purposes, if you don't want to waste GPT4-Vision credits, you can run the backend in mock mode (which streams a pre-recorded response):
```bash
MOCK=true poetry run uvicorn main:app --reload --port 7001
```
## Configuration
- You can configure the OpenAI base URL if you need to use a proxy: Set OPENAI_BASE_URL in the `backend/.env` or directly in the UI in the settings dialog
## Docker
If you have Docker installed on your system, in the root directory, run:
```bash
echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key" > .env
docker-compose up -d --build
```
The app will be up and running at http://localhost:5173. Note that you can't develop the application with this setup as the file changes won't trigger a rebuild.
