    Does that mean that every single time you want to create a dropdown for example, you can't just use a component, you have to take the component and add floaty links to it?

  • @FigmaBites
    @FigmaBites28 күн бұрын

    No, you don’t have to use this technique at all. It was a pretty specific issue when there were multiple interactions in the same element. And I think it could’ve been fixed in a different way, too. Are you having a similar issue with your dropdown?

    This was a really good demo of something I was wondering about doing! I have a slightly different need for calculating the total price though: 1) imagine if the quantity of each dish maps to a different price. So for example if the quantity of beef is 1, then the price is $10, and if the qty is 2, the price is $15. And if the qty is 3 or more, the price is a flat $21. 2) same with pastrami, etc, but the pricing structure may be different So for the total, I’d want to take into account all the different pricing structures. Is this possible? If so, how would one set this up?

  • @FigmaBites
    @FigmaBitesАй бұрын

    Thanks for the comment. I’d have to play with it to know if it would work for sure but it sounds doable. You would need to set up a bunch of conditionals checking for the quantity of the item and changing the math inside of those. That same conditional would need to be repeated in a few places for total and whatnot. I’d say take a stab at it and let me know what issues you encounter. Feel free to share a link to your file once you get going

    Thanks Chris for these videos! Love learning from them. I am wondering if you can also share another that covers selecting images in numeric sequences, for example, in social media photo app sites, you can select a sequence of images to post, and it will reset the order if you start over, or deselect images in the album rolls by showing a numeric order. How can you recreate that in Figma using variables?

  • @FigmaBites
    @FigmaBitesАй бұрын

    Thanks for the comment! I’ll see if I can work up a quick example for you. I probably won’t do another bite about variables in prototypes for awhile. But I can make a file that shows it working probably

  • @FigmaBites
    @FigmaBitesАй бұрын

    Well I played around with it for awhile and I think this particular interaction is too complex for the current state of Figma prototyping. That said, I think it could be possible with a long string of variables and conditionals but I couldn't get it to work during my attempts.

  • @FigmaBites

    Thanks! And yeah. There are a few options. You can use variables that are published as part of team library and then every new file can have that library on to get access to the variables. You could also use a Google Sheet and some community plugins possibly.

    That was a really useful intro. One question I have is, when the layout changed and the tiles wrapped, the last tile ended up a different size. Is it possible to have the tile width adapt but keep all three tiles the same width?

  • @FigmaBites
    @FigmaBites5 ай бұрын

    Not easily. You could possibly trick it with invisible placeholder component or something. Since these are set to a min/max width and "fill container", they will automatically fill that max width when they can.
