🎨 Figma Components 101 – The Secret to a Scalable Design System! 🚀 Ever find yourself repeating the same UI elements over and over again? 😩 Figma Components are here to save your time and boost consistency across your designs! 🔥
🔹 What Are Components in Figma? A Component in Figma is a reusable UI element that you can use across multiple designs. Any changes made to the Main Component will automatically update all its Instances, keeping your design consistent and efficient! 🎯
🔹 Why Use Components? ✅ Design Once, Use Everywhere 🔄 ✅ Maintain Consistency Across Screens 🎨 ✅ Easier Design System Management 📁 ✅ Speeds Up Your Workflow 🚀 ✅ Prevents Manual Repetition ❌
🔹 How to Create & Use Components in Figma (Step-by-Step) 🔥 ✅ Step 1: Design an element you want to reuse (e.g., a button) ✅ Step 2: Select the element and click "Create Component" (or press Ctrl + Alt + K / Cmd + Option + K) ✅ Step 3: Your component turns purple – This is now the Main Component ✅ Step 4: Drag and drop instances of the component into other frames ✅ Step 5: Edit the Main Component, and all instances will update automatically!
🔹 Component vs. Instance – What's the Difference? 🤔 Component: The original, master version that controls all copies
Instance: A copy of the component that inherits properties but can be slightly modified
💡 Pro Tip: Detach an instance (Right Click → Detach Instance) if you want to make it unique!
🔹 Variants – Take Components to the Next Level! 🔥 You can create multiple states of a component (like different button colors or sizes) using Variants.
✅ Select a component and click “+ Add Variant” ✅ Adjust properties like size, color, or text ✅ Use Properties & Boolean Controls for customization ✅ Swap between Variants easily from the right panel
🚀 Build Smarter UI with Components! Using Components & Variants will revolutionize your workflow and make your designs scalable, fast, and professional!
