Design System Essentials Crafting Flexible Input Fields with Figma

Today, I’ll be guiding you through the creation of an input field and seamlessly integrating it into your design system using Figma. We’ll start by setting up variables, defining interactions and transitions, and ensuring that everything works perfectly in light and dark modes. I’ll walk you through various scenarios, showing you how to use our system to craft different styles of fields, tailoring them to fit the needs of your project precisely. As we delve deeper, you’ll see the power of using variables and sub-components. This approach not only streamlines your workflow but also injects incredible flexibility into your design process. It’s about building more competent, not more complex, and making your design system a robust, adaptable ally in your creative endeavours. And here’s something exciting on the horizon – the Pixellink Variable Toolkit. We’re beta-testing this tool, designed to simplify and accelerate the implementation of variables. It’s a game-changer, making the process faster and more intuitive. So, let’s dive in and explore the boundless possibilities of design systems together, armed with the right tools and a mindset geared towards efficiency and innovation. #designsystems #pixelInk, #figma #atomic #designthinking #humanexperiences #designtutorial #figmatutorial #tutorial #beginners #designcommunity #figmatips #figmacomponents Pixellink Design System Lite: 👇 Pixellink Variable Toolkit beta:👇 00:01 Introduction to Building a Design System 00:57 Getting Started with Figma 01:00 Creating an Input Field 02:02 Setting Up Interactions and Transitions 02:10 Building Design Assets 02:48 Using Text Block Components 03:41 Creating a General Frame 05:39 Setting Up the Input Field 06:25 Adding Variables and Fills 17:03 Creating a Blinking Cursor 19:34 Setting Up the Input Field Label 32:12 Creating Different States for the Input Field 32:14 Testing the Input Field 42:56 Conclusion and Next Steps
