🏵 Framer X Video Course: Tab Bar
By Koen Bok • Feedback appreciated Intermediate • 1hr • Try on the Framer Store


  • We will be building a re-usable dynamic tab view that you can configure many different ways.
  • This course shows you how to build an end to end component that you can re-use many times and publish to the store. It solves a real problem.
  • This course is intermediate to advanced, you need to know some syntax and a bit of React but I try and slow down to explain concepts whenever needed.

All right, let’s go!


Updates:

Wireframe the visuals

Let’s start with exploring the canvas and drawing a simple outline of what we want to build.


  • Basic canvas overview and how the preview works.
  • Drawing Frames and Stacks.



Code the behavior

Let’s recreate what we have on the canvas in a code component.

  • A basic overview of how code components work and how we express them in Framer.
  • A general explanation of React components and how to write jsx.
  • Recreate the canvas wireframe from code so we can hook it up later.
  • Using the editor and finding documentation.
