When Lovable uses the wrong export pattern, it breaks imports elsewhere in your app. This can cause components to fail and disrupt the entire build process. These prompts help you identify and correct the export pattern, ensuring smooth integration and functionality. Built across 4 distinct stages covering Diagnose the Wall, Isolate and Fix, Verify the Resolution and more, this guide gives you one expert prompt per step so you never have to write from scratch or guess what the AI needs. The prompts work in ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini and are designed to get usable output on the first try.

Diagnose the Wall

Identify where the export pattern mismatch occurs and its impact on the app.

Identify Export Mismatch

Diagnose the Wall

Isolate and Fix

Focus on correcting the identified export pattern mismatches.

Switch to Named Export

Identify the components in the codebase that currently use a default export incorrectly. For each component, provide the updated code snippet that switches from a default export to a named export. Ensure that the new export syntax is correctly applied and that any necessary imports are adjusted accordingly. Include comments in the code snippets to explain the changes made and any potential impact on other parts of the codebase.

Isolate and Fix

Convert to Default Export

Identify components in the codebase that are currently using named exports but should be using default exports instead. For each identified component, provide the original code snippet and the revised code with the necessary changes made to convert it to a default export. Additionally, explain why the change is necessary and how it aligns with best practices in JavaScript module exports. Ensure that the response is clear and easy to follow for someone reviewing the code.

Isolate and Fix

Update Import Statements

Please update all import statements in the project to align with the corrected export patterns. For each file that requires changes, provide a detailed list including the file name and the specific lines where the updates were made. Additionally, include a brief explanation of the changes to ensure clarity on how the new import statements differ from the previous ones.

Isolate and Fix

Resolve Import Errors

Identify and resolve any import errors that may have arisen due to mismatched export patterns in the code. Please analyze the relevant sections of the codebase, pinpoint the specific errors, and suggest the necessary changes to correct them. After making the adjustments, provide a detailed summary of the modifications made and confirm that the import errors have been successfully resolved. Ensure that the solution maintains the overall functionality and integrity of the application.

Isolate and Fix

Rebuild Affected Components

Please help me rebuild the components that have been affected by recent changes to the export pattern. I need a detailed checklist of the specific components to focus on, along with the steps required to ensure they compile and function correctly. Additionally, provide guidance on how to test these components effectively to confirm that they are working as intended after the changes. Include any common issues that might arise during this process and how to troubleshoot them.

Isolate and Fix

Verify the Resolution

Ensure that the export pattern issues are fully resolved and the app functions correctly.

Run Import Tests

Please run tests on all components to ensure they import correctly with the new export patterns. I need a detailed report of the test results, including any errors encountered, the components that passed or failed, and suggestions for resolving any issues. Additionally, summarize the overall success rate of the imports and highlight any components that may require further attention or adjustments. Format the results in a clear and organized manner, making it easy to identify which components are functioning as expected.

Verify the Resolution

Check Component Functionality

Please verify the functionality of all components after the recent corrections to the export pattern. For each component, provide a detailed assessment of its performance, noting any discrepancies or issues that remain. Include specific examples of components that are functioning correctly and those that are not, along with suggestions for further improvements or fixes. Format your report in a clear and organized manner, highlighting critical issues that need immediate attention.

Verify the Resolution

Confirm Error Resolution

Please verify the resolution of all previous import errors related to export patterns. Provide a detailed report that includes a summary of the errors that were identified, the steps taken to resolve them, and any errors that still persist. For each persistent error, include specific details such as the error message, the context in which it occurs, and any relevant data or patterns observed. Format the report in a clear, organized manner, using bullet points or tables where appropriate for easy readability.

Verify the Resolution

Validate Build Success

Please validate that the app builds successfully with the corrected export patterns. I need you to check the build process and confirm that there are no errors or warnings present. After the validation, provide a summary of the build log, highlighting any important messages or issues that may need attention. Ensure that the log is clear and easy to understand, so I can verify the build success effectively.
