  • Figmas new Auto Layout feature is an absolute game changer! Auto Layout allows you to create complex layouts that respond as the frame grows or shrinks. Figma Auto Layout mimics CSS Flexbox and because of that it's incredible smart. In this video I cover the basics of Auto Layout as well as some advanced techniques like nesting auto layouts inside of other auto layouts. Remember to Subscribe goo.gl/6vCw64

      I loved the video, thank you for the great content! I'll hopefully be using the Auto Layout for creating various cards and components as part of a Design System. Would love to see a more complex example - like creating Auto Layout element with a behavior for resizing from Web to mobile screen size (Will elements stack on top of each other or something else?) :)

    Great video, Jesse! This auto-layout feature is indeed a game changer. After learning about it, I see no point in going with rigid layouts anymore. Auto-layouts coupled with multi-variant components (and the inheritance between them) basically allow building interfaces of any complexity.

  • @ArdDanielN
    @ArdDanielN 2 года назад +41

    This is a great explanation and tutorial. The one key thing that makes Figma superior to all others is that it mimics how you would normally code websites. Frames essentially become html divs that can receive similar styling properties. These styled frames (divs) then have boxes or content placed inside them. This is formally known as the CSS Box Model and Figma is the only design software I have used that follows this model.
    And in this video, auto-layout highly mimics the CSS grid styling properties. In my opinion, Figma and it’s features are the closest thing you can get to a designing for web in a design tool without ever writing a single line of code (apart from Webflow).
