What are best practices for managing component states in Figma?
In Figma, manage component states using variants to group UI states such as Default, Hover, Active, and Disabled. Use consistent property names (e.g., State: Hover
) to keep your system clean and intuitive.
Best practices include:
Avoiding component duplication by consolidating states as variants
Using interactive components to simulate real behavior in prototypes
Documenting how each state works in your design system for clarity across teams
For deeper guidance, check out Advanced Figma Tips for UX/UI Designers, which covers variant strategies and practical use cases.
Also, explore An Introduction to Figma Variables to learn how variables can further streamline state management and component logic.
Together, these techniques help create scalable, organized, and consistent components across your product.
