Introduction

• Presenter: Sergey
• Purpose: Learn how to create a complex button component with multiple variants in Figma.
• Resources: Work file available from the link in the video description.

Creating a Button

1. Select Type Tool: Press 'T' and write text ("Button").
   • Use Poppins font, size 16px.
   • Set vertical trim for consistent paddings.
2. Create Outer Layout:
   • Select text layer, press 'Shift + A' to create an auto layout.
   • Add fill color (e.g., blue).
   • Set paddings: Top/Bottom - 16px, Left/Right - 24px.
   • Fix height to maintain size with/without icon.

Icon Components

• Prepare Icons: Make each icon a separate component.
• Add Icon to Button:
  • Use 'Option + Drag' or via Assets panel to add icon instances.

Creating Button States

1. Primary Button Setup: Start with a primary button.
2. Variants and Copies:
   • Color Variants: Create copies for different colors (e.g., green).
   • Icon Position: Create variants with icon on left/right.
   • Hover Effect: Change color or add stroke for hover state.
   • Active State: Darker color for click effect.
   • Disabled State: Use gray color for non-clickable buttons.
   • Corner Radius: Create variants with straight/rounded corners.

Naming and Organization

• Component Naming Structure:
  • Format: Button / Color / Corners / State / Icon Position
  • Example: Button / Blue / Straight / Default / Left
• Bulk Renaming: Use 'Command R' to rename multiple objects.

Creating Component Set

• Select All Variants: Use 'Create Component Set' to combine.
• Naming Properties: Assign properties like color, corners, state, and icon position.
• Boolean Property: Toggle to show/hide icon.

Utilizing the Component

• Testing: Add to assets and test properties.
• Changing Icons: Switch icons within button variants using the dropdown in the right panel.

Benefits

• Efficiency: Changing the main component applies changes universally.
• Consistency: Ensures uniform design across all instances.

Conclusion

• Encouragement to practice creating components.
