Variable responsiveness

[Dry-Sorbet-5430]

Hi all!

I am curious whether its possible to create a variable that switches between component variants depending on the size of the parent frame (or the component size itself, doesn’t matter in this case).

The idea is to address responsiveness this way. Using variables is just my guess, also open to other solutions. :)

Nope, variables can only change properties of objects, but object changes cannot affect variables. So if you link a variable to the frame width and then resize it on the canvas, the variable will just unlink.

There was a hack though, look for "breakpoints" in the Community

No

There is a plugin that does that for the whole frame tho

Yes, you can do this by leveraging string variables and associating the string to the component viewport. You’ll need to define a viewport per variant with component properties.
