Install the Buying Buddy IDX Plugin in React With AI
Buying Buddy installs into a React project as an npm package with a provider and drop-in widget components. These prompts tell your AI assistant exactly what to add, and nothing else.
How it works
Buying Buddy publishes each install instruction as a file at its own address. Instead of copying a long prompt, you paste a single line into your AI coding assistant telling it to fetch that file and follow it. Your AI reads the full instructions itself and makes the changes.
The prompts on this page are the demo versions, so you can read exactly what your AI will be told before you sign up. When you install from your own Buying Buddy dashboard, the same prompts arrive with your activation key and your page addresses already filled in - there is nothing to edit by hand.
The install prompts
Run these in order. Each one is small and checks that the previous step finished before it does anything.
Step 1 - Install the package
Adds the Buying Buddy package to your project and wraps your app in the provider. No pages or widgets yet.
Paste this one line into your AI website builder:
Fetch the file at https://my.buyingbuddy.com/prompt/authkey/demo/type/react/install-1-foundation.md and follow every instruction in it exactly. Do not summarize, skip, or redesign anything. If you cannot retrieve the file, stop and tell me.
Your AI opens the link and follows the instructions itself, so there is no long prompt to copy. The file always contains the current version.
Step 2 - Create the foundation pages
Creates your Search Results, Property Details, Market Report and Communities pages, and adds the MLS disclaimer to your footer.

Step 3 - Add search and finish setup
Adds a property search form to your home page and reports the settings you need to enter in your dashboard.
