What are Figma components?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:36 pm

Figma is a toolkit for building user interfaces and user flows. It consists of components that allow developers to easily create screens and flows, as well as interact with users.

Components can be reused and combined to create complex UIs.

PRO TIP: Figma components are a type of design element that can be reused across multiple projects. They are created in the Figma app and can be used in any Figma file.

When creating a Figma component, you can specify how it should behave when used in different contexts. For example, you can set a component to resize automatically when placed in a frame of a different size.

Components can be shared with other users and teams, making it easy to collaborate on design projects.

Figma is open source and free to use. It is based on React and uses React Native as a front-end tool.

Figma is well-tested and has a large community of developers who can help with any questions or issues.
