How to create Component Variants in Figma 2024?

Component variants are an advanced feature that allows you to create multiple versions of a component to handle different states, styles, or configurations within a single, unified component set. This makes your design more organised and easier to manage, especially when dealing with complex UI elements.

Key Concepts of Component Variants

Component Set: A collection of variants grouped together. When you create variants, they are all part of this set.

Variants: These are the individual versions of a component.
For example, a button might have variants for its different states like Default, Hover, Selected, and Disabled.

Properties: Variants are defined by properties, such as State, Size, Type, etc. These properties help distinguish each variant from the others.

Property Values: Each variant will have specific values for the properties.
For example, for a Button component, the State property might have values like Default, Hover, Selected.

Creating Component Variants in Figma

Create a Base Component: Start by designing the basic version of your component.

Add Variant: click on + and add variants

Define Properties: Once variants added, you can define properties for each variant, like State or Size. Figma will allow you to add and edit these properties from the right panel.

Switch Between Variants: When using the component in your design, you can easily switch between variants by selecting the component and changing the property values from the right panel.

Advantages of Using Variants

Efficiency: Quickly swap between different states or versions of a component without creating multiple, separate components.

Consistency: Maintain a consistent design by reusing the same component set across your design system.

Scalability: Easily add new variants as your design system grows.
