Thank you for the tutorial, very easy to follow as a beginner, sometimes figma doesn't want to cooperate for some reason, but retracing my steps usually solved every issue

Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial. It took me about an hour to do this but I'm so happy I kept at it, I'm so pleased with the results. I can't thank you enough!

It took me a lot of pausing the video and doing it myself but I finally got there! Thank you so much this was so helpful!

Thank you, this is the first tutorial I could follow as a beginner and get the result.

Great Video! Highly recommended, even though had been following the instructor step by step and made the first chapter less than a minute the second part took days to find out about the magic of the Parent Component!! It's 12:58 am just solved the problem. watch the screen and details carefully, GOOOD Luck :D

Thank you very much! Excellent video and very well explained. Update: To display the selected option in the dropdown menu just check the option "Reset component state" in interaction details for options 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 that were added in the horizontal of "Select an option".

I can only reset "all changes" or "interactions" which doesn't lead to the desired outcome. I can't make the selected option visible. It did work some months ago but something seemed to have changed.

Thx a lot, I like that you didn't spend hours on simple task. For those finding it too fast, just play the video in slow mode :) Btw -> I am a figma beginer. Never used any design tool

What a wonderfully elaborated tutorial, very helpful ❤❤

Thank you. Nice tutorial. Practical and straight-to-the-point 👌

Really appreciate this breakdown! I know many designers will find this to be extremely useful!

Awesome tutorial, thank you so much!

Thank you for clear explanation !

Thank you for this tutorial ❣

I'm really grateful for this tutorial and the Figma community. Like many others, I struggled at the 2:44 point and wasn't able to see the option to "Fill Container". I too was thinking maybe there was a special duplicate process or something. NOPE! The video shows EXACTLY how to do it and I just wasn't paying close attention. So before I reveal the SIMPLE answer, I say hats off to Mavi Design and I won't doubt your mad skills again! (BIG GRIN). OK, here's the big reveal . . . there is no special duplicate process . . . all you need to do is after you have all five options created, just as shown in the video, then turn it into a frame and then a component . . . right there, Mavi has the component selected, and say "I'm going to change the size like this, PRESS ENTER". Bingo, if you don't press ENTER, you have the component selected and you WILL NOT see the option to "Fill Container". As long as you do exactly like Mavi says and PRESS ENTER, which drills into the component and selects all the stuff inside, then go to the horizontal resizing menu and the "Fill Container" option is there waiting for you. Okay, I probably could have written this much shorter, but if you were struggling and this helped, give my comment a Thumbs up, so I don't feel so alone in my confusion. Ha! Thanks Mavi Design . . . I'm a subscriber.

Amazing, Thanks

OMG Thanks❤ It was complicated, but I did it )))😊

Best channel ever!! Keep it up 😍

Something I found out while testing is that we can make the dropdown separated from the "Select option" menu if we make an auto-layout with it before making it a set of components. Then when we create the set with that auto-layout we have the space to move the open menu freely and it will still be inside the auto-layout. Damn, I hope someone can understand XD. But now the smart animate does some weird, subtle stuff that I'm trying to figure out lmao. Thanks again for this tutorial and the other when you explain the auto-layout!

Really good tutorial, Im using this for a calendar drop down, any advice on how to keep the selection bar fixed at the top and have each option scroll underneath?

Is there anyway to use nested instances like you did on the single choice radio button component walkthough? This is a great tutorial and thanks for sharing, but it would be even more useful if the end component was one that you could edit with the text inputs on the instance itself. I'm not sure how easy this will be modying so much text for each drop down menu within a prototype.

Great video...., this is tutorial that I looking for. Thank you so much. Next, I suggest tutorial data table interactive with figma...

Thanks so much!

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. Any suggestions on how to use this for an app? As there is no hover stage for mobile unless i assign a down arrow key to move between options. Appreciate your help Thanks!

guys!! I figured it out! basically you need to name each component of the "option list" and also name every "option list" differently inside the component "dropdown menu"... so what I did was name option 1 "option 1" and so on and so forth, and named the "option list" as "option list 1" for the list of options that should appear under option 1, and so on and so forth...

For begginer I'd recommend to do a hover button first, and learn what is auto layout and how to use this ^^

Thanks a lot for this tutorial. I used it some months ago and it did work perfectly but something has changed. I can't make the selected option in the dropdown visible. I set the selected Option to active in the list but in prototype it always shows the default list. Any idea why?

It was an excellent tutorial, very easy to follow! I'm designing a coffeeshop app and want to use this dropdown for coffee and milk type selection but i have no idea how to add these items to cart with selected options? Any help would be great!

That's why to create components and its states I always use XD. Easy and simple........

Thanks for the video! loved it. QUESTION: IF I have say 2 different dropdowns one has 3 options and the other has 5 options. Do i have to create another component with the exact number of options or I can hide 2 options in the 5 option component?

all good, just one question, if I want to change the size of the options box do I have to do it in the main component? or there is a way when can I ajust the size of my dropdown entirely

thanks for the greate video and explenation! at the same time im wondering that there is no collection for basic dropdown widgets in figma

Small tip: If your Selected option buttons, in the dropdown, aren't the correct colour/visual in the prototype... despite all of your prototype being linked up the same as the vid It's due to the component naming being the same for all your buttons. Rename your selected button component variables, in the dropdowns, to something else like "Selected button" and your prototype will work

@Soumya_uiuxproductdesign

7 ай бұрын

Or another solution is- maybe when you made connection from "select an option" to "select an option" with option list for each 5 separate option there you have to check mark "reset component state" In the prototype option.

Do I have to make a new component for each dropdown menu I need? Or can I customize the text inside the instance of the dropdown menu for each instance? Changing the text in one instance isn't working, and I need multiple different dropdown menus that look the same, just with different text. Do I need to make a new component for each one?

Thank you so much for this. Understand components and variables a lot more because of this, especially for menu drop down design.

Thank u..

Great tutorial. Do you have a tutorial on how to navigate to a specific screen once an option is selected in the dropdown? I suspect I need to assign variables but I cannot get it to work.

Is it possible to do the options with variables so they use the same text?

Very nice tutorial and Figma is definitely is going into the right direction! But saying that... I made the same dropdown menu including all the visual effects in Axure and it only took me only 5 minutes using dynamic panels!

May i ask why the button is not in the active state when we already choose an option and wanted to change the option?

Can you make a tutorial on How to when clicking outside/anywhere the dropdown menu collapse

HI. i love your tutorial, but how you duplicate options? every time when i do command+d i just create one more option inside of the component, how can i create a duplicate of component, not making one more option of component?

I'm trying have this button in multiple places, but at each page when I protoype, it shows the last selection. Any idea on how to fix that?

Hi! This was very helpful, it did move a little fast but if I put it in a slower speed I was able to follow better. I do have one problem... now that I am using this menu for an actual navigation, I can't have more than one click instance for the options. For example, Option 1 is set to go to the view on click, but I also need it to navigate to a page. Is there a way to bypass this?

Somehow my list of options in the default- yes drop down menu wont connect to the other drop down menu-no visible options, like you do at the 9:20 mark. I can't seem to figure out why thats happening. Any ideas?

Thank you very much. I have a few problems with reproducing the tutorial: 1) when at 8:05 I try to move the "list of options" with my mouse, Figma just kicks it out immediately out of the parent component (dropdown menu) and up to the top level. What the heck? 2) when using this drop-down, it doesn't overlaps the elements lying below it. How to fix this?

@fds29bath

I had the same issue at 8:05. Instead of using the mouse, you can move the list of options with the x and y axis, you keep it under the parent component

Thank you very much for this tutorial, i have tried it and it works but i encountered one problem. When i am on the prototype screen, the selected option does not display the selected property. I have redone each step twice over and I get the same result, the hover works. If i change the selected option from the master component, it works but when i change it manually on each instance, it doesn’t work. Why??

thank you! that is great tutorial. please, could you say if it is possible to close the dropdown when mouse is clicking outside the options menu? I am searching for the solution, but found only the way with frames for each variant, however it would be more elegant to do it into component. What do you think?

@mavidesign

Жыл бұрын

Only solution I can think of is to do this through “open overlay” interaction. That enables you to check “close when clicking outside”. Not sure how to ensure you’ll get each menu item highlighted as you choose different options, but I think that’s the way:)
