Can you nest components in Figma?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:45 pm

Nesting components in Figma is possible, but it requires some care. First, you must create a child component which will house the nested component. Second, the child component must have a specific name and be placed in the same folder as the nested component.

Third, the nested component must have a specific name and be placed in the same folder as the child component. Finally, the child component must have a parent component which will define the layout and look of the nested component.

In our example, we have a component called “Layout” which will house a nested component called “Page”. The Layout component has a parent component called “PageLayout”.

The PageLayout component has a parent component called “LayoutComponent”. The LayoutComponent component has a parent component called “Page”.

PRO TIP: There is no official way to nest components in Figma. However, there are some workarounds that allow you to achieve a similar effect. These workarounds may not work in all cases, and they may not be supported in future versions of Figma. Use them at your own risk.

To create the nested component, we first create a child component called “Page”. The Page component has a parent component called “LayoutComponent”.

The LayoutComponent component has a parent component called “Page”.

Next, we create the PageLayout component. The PageLayout component has a parent component called “LayoutComponent”.

Finally, we create the Page component.

The LayoutComponent component has a parent component called “PageLayout”.
