What are the types of components in Figma?

Asked 2 years ago

Hi there, There are various elements that I want to use in Figma, but I am uncertain of the different types of components that are offered. I want to be consistent across all my pages and use all the components that Figma has for maximum effect in my designs.

Enlisted below are the types of components in Figma that you may find in the Figma component library:

  1. Menu and Sidebar Layouts: These components simplify the process of getting standard layouts into your designs.
  2. Figma Button Components: It is any component that you can tap/click to imply a defined action.
  3. Footers and Headers: These components come in handy for static content on multiple pages.
  4. Icons: Used to represent a menu item, feature, function, or a link to social media or an email attachment.
  5. Images: You can use images to make your design colorful and add some richness.
  6. Controls: It contains the on/off toggles, radio buttons, checkboxes, etc.
  7. Figma Input Fields: These are data capture widgets arranged for user input and can be pre-defined and conditionalized.

All of the components mentioned above can be of two vital states:

  1. Master Component: The main component, referred to as a master component, is directly available for editing. If you make changes to this component, the subordinate components will be similarly affected.
  2. Instances: The subordinate components of a master component are known as instances. You can partially disengage these instances from the master component and create its unique variations.
