Structuring interactive components
In this section, you will be introduced to Figma’s most powerful feature: interactive components. This breakthrough has revolutionized the way designers work, streamlining project workflows to an astonishing degree. How exactly did it achieve this? Let’s delve deeper into this topic to discover the details.
What are interactive components?
As you’ve seen, making a prototype interactive and navigable in Figma isn’t all that difficult, but if you want to create a flow with complex, detailed animations, you have to duplicate many frames, sometimes repeating entire views over and over again. For example, imagine you need to create and then show in your prototype hover states for all buttons present in our streaming app interface. Sounds intimidating, doesn’t it? And it still wouldn’t be the worst thing you can imagine since our application is not that complicated!
Let’s see how it would look...
