Practical Examples: How Companies Use Windsurf

Here are real-world examples of how businesses are using Windsurf AI to solve common development challenges:

Example 1: Code Migration Projects

One of the most powerful applications of Windsurf is in code migration projects. Our team recently used Windsurf to migrate a native Android application to React Native, significantly reducing development time and effort.

The Challenge: Converting Java/Kotlin code to React Native while maintaining functionality and performance.

How Windsurf Helped:

• Analyzed the existing native Android codebase structure
• Automatically generated equivalent React Native components
• Preserved business logic while adapting to React Native paradigms

Example: Converting an Android RecyclerView to a React Native FlatList

// Android RecyclerView implementation
public class ProductAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<ProductViewHolder> {
    private List<Product> products;
    
    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(ProductViewHolder holder, int position) {
        Product product = products.get(position);
        holder.nameTextView.setText(product.getName());
        holder.priceTextView.setText("$" + product.getPrice());
        Glide.with(context).load(product.getImageUrl()).into(holder.imageView);
    }
}

// React Native FlatList equivalent
const ProductList = ({ products }) => {
  const renderItem = ({ item }) => (
    <View style={styles.productItem}>
      <Image 
        source={{ uri: item.imageUrl }}
        style={styles.productImage}
      />
      <Text style={styles.productName}>{item.name}</Text>
      <Text style={styles.productPrice}>$item.price</Text>
    </View>
  );

  return (
    <FlatList
      data={products}
      renderItem={renderItem}
      keyExtractor={item => item.id}
    />
  );
};

This migration, which would have taken weeks of manual work, was completed in just days with Windsurf's assistance. The AI not only translated the code but also suggested modern React Native best practices.

Example 2: API Integration Acceleration

Windsurf excels at helping developers quickly integrate with third-party APIs by generating boilerplate code and handling authentication flows.

"Create a service to fetch weather data from OpenWeatherMap API"

// Weather service using axios
import axios from 'axios';

const API_KEY = process.env.REACT_APP_WEATHER_API_KEY;
const BASE_URL = 'https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5';

export const WeatherService = {
  getCurrentWeather: async (city) => {
    try {
      const response = await axios.get(`${BASE_URL}/weather`, {
        params: {
          q: city,
          appid: API_KEY,
          units: 'metric'
        }
      });
      return response.data;
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error fetching weather data:', error);
      throw error;
    }
  }
};
