Here's a great article about building components in Figma from one of our power users Thomas Lowry!
Thanks for sharing Josh. Thomas is a great asset to the Figma community and this article is like a treasure trove of great information.
Thanks Brennan. And thanks for flagging some of the performance issues you an encountered with the show/hide master icon method from my previous article. That is what initially prompted me to finally put this one together, so your feedback was huge. I added a note to the original article to direct people to the new one. Thanks for the kind words!
No worries Thomas, the cropping components is a great technique I didn't know about. I've shared your article about a dozen times, thanks for posting.
This is great, thanks for sharing!
Once again I learned a few new things about Figma. My love for this software continues to grow!
This is the primer I needed. For whatever reason figuring out Figma's component system has been way harder for me than Sketch's symbols.
Thanks everyone for the kind words. Hope it was helpful!
