Download framer components as simple files

• Works with any React framework (Next.js, Gatsby, Vite, etc)
• Includes all your components dependencies
• Has Typescript support, inferred from your component variables (like variant)

Usage

1. Install the package

   npm install unframer

2. Map framer-motion to unframer. This is required because the Framer runtime ships its own version of framer-motion, this will prevent you from having multiple instances of framer-motion in your project.

   npm install framer-motion@npm:unframer

3. Create an unframer.json file like the following (the key will be used for the component folder inside outDir)

   {
       "outDir": "./framer",
       "components": {
           "logos": "https://framer.com/m/Logo-Ticker-1CEq.js@YtVlixDzOkypVBs3Dpav",
           "menus": "https://framer.com/m/Mega-Menu-2wT3.js@W0zNsrcZ2WAwVuzt0BCl"
       }
   }

4. Copy your framer component url and add it to your config (remove the part after @ to always use the latest version)

   

5. Run the command npx unframer to download the components and their types in the outDir directory

6. Import the component inside your jsx files, for example

import './framer/styles.css' // load base Framer styles
import Menu from './framer/menus'

export default function App() {
    return (
        <div>
            <Menu componentVariable='some variable' />
        </div>
    )
}

Using responsive variants

import './framer/styles.css'
import Logos from './framer/logos'

export default function App() {
    return (
        <div>
            {/* Changes component variant based on breakpoint */}
            <Logos.Responsive
                variants={{
                    lg: 'Desktop Variant',
                    md: 'Tablet Variant',
                    base: 'Mobile Variant',
                }}
            />
        </div>
    )
}

Styling

You can use className or style props to style your components

Notice that you will often need to use !important to override styles already defined in framer like width and height

import './framer/styles.css'
import Logos from './framer/logos'

export default function App() {
    return (
        <div>
            {/* Changes component variant based on breakpoint */}
            <Logos.responsive
                className='!w-full'
                variants={{
                    lg: 'Desktop',
                    md: 'Tablet',
                    base: 'Mobile',
                }}
            />
        </div>
    )
}

Sizing components

Framer components can have a fixed size, this comes from the root element in the Framer component editor. To override this size you will need to use the style prop or use a class with high specificity.

import './framer/styles.css'
import Logos from './framer/logos'

export default function App() {
    return (
        <div>
            <Logos.responsive
                className='!w-full' // use !important to override framer default size
                style={{ width: '100%' }} // or use style prop, which has higher specificity than the Framer class
                variants={{
                    lg: 'Desktop',
                    md: 'Tablet',
                    base: 'Mobile',
                }}
            />
        </div>
    )
}

Supported component props

unframer will add TypeScript definitions for your Framer components props and variables, some example variables you can use are:

• variant, created when you use variants in Framer
• functions, created when you use an event variable in Framer
• Any scalar variable like String, Number, Boolean, Date, etc
• Image variables (object with src, srcSet and alt), created when you use an image variable in Framer
• Link strings, created when you make a link a variable in Framer
• Rich text, created when you use a richText variable in Framer
• Color, a string
• React component, created when you use a component variable in Framer, for example in the Ticker component

Known limitations:

• Color styles (also known as tokens) can get out of sync with your Framer project, if this happen you will have to find the corresponding css variable (in the form of --token-xxxx) in the component code and define it in your CSS, for example:

:root {
    --token-64603892-5c8b-477a-82d6-e795e75dd5dc: #0b5c96;
}

• Links to Framer pages won't work, this is because links to Framer pages are encoded with opaque ids. Instead you should

  1. use link variables
  2. absolute links (starting with https://, not links to other Framer pages).

• Internationalization is not supported
