Creating a FORM FIELD in Figma You Can Actually TYPE INTO (Spoiler: It’s an illusion)

In this video, I'll demonstrate a clever Figma prototyping technique that will make your form field prototypes come to life, creating the illusion that you can actually type into them. We'll explore how to use Figma's prototyping features to design a realistic form field interaction that looks impressive and adds a touch of realism to your prototypes.

I'll walk you through the entire process step-by-step, showing you how to create the interactive form field effect using components and prototype connections. This technique is sure to impress and is a great addition to your Figma skillset.

This tutorial is perfect for both beginners and experienced users, as it breaks down Figma prototyping concepts in a clear and visual manner.

Would love to see an update on this video, using Sring Variables the typing experience can be achieved, no need for illusion anymore

thank you so so much for this video. i am study ux design right now but this kind of information they don't explain.

What will happen if this is converted to html using the plugin?

[MariannaSurzenko]

Cool! Thank you for sharing! Such a simple, but elegant solution to increase interactivity!
BTW the cursor and the text could be wrapped into the auto layout. In this way, the text will push the cursor each time you type a new letter, thus eliminating the need for manual adjustment ^_^

Great video! Is it possible to create this effect for a long paragraph that takes more than a line?

[hizzu]

bro how to make it typing something? not like "something" or "typing" but anything like someone's name or random things?

I like this tutorial thank you but how can i enable it for any text/word?

[aduloju]

What happens when one is done typing, is the text not supposed to stay static. You did not prototype that.

[evgeniyaitkis]

why? use variables instead of creating 20-ish variations

[ahmedziadi]

How can i do it if it would like to some anything

[asadrais]

personally, your tutorial is too hard to understand my friend. Please make it simple and don't cut in between them.

Figma is a great app for design, but for prototyping, it's an absolute joke. It's possible to do this in Axure in one state and it only takes 60 seconds to setup.
