My thoughts on the new Figma Component Properties

Try to think practically and avoid that toggle switch hell when you can.

Ok. So how are Comp Props at this moment in time? In a few words - They’re pretty amazing.
For large-scale design systems (where I think they work best), they allow users a level of accessibility and ease of use that wasn’t there previously.
Of course, Version 1.0 of any new feature like this isn’t going to be the absolute best it can be; this rarely, if ever, happens. But it will improve from the already excellent foundations that have been laid.
It’s still early days for Component Properties. Give Figma time to refine things. They’ll improve on what is already a super-helpful and time-saving feature, and I can’t wait to see how it shapes up, even if I still feel a bit grumpy about the hands-on control it’s taking away from us ;)
