As Figma continues to close the structural gap between design and development, Anima’s generated code continues to support it. And with Figma’s recent addition of developer-friendly Min/Max and Wrap options to its Auto Layout features, Anima’s responsive CSS just took a huge leap forward.

What are the Benefits of Min/Max and Wrap in Figma?

The primary benefit for both designers and developers is responsiveness, with fewer Auto Layout containers and more efficient code.

  • Designers can apply responsive behavior to multiple rows of elements with a single Auto Layout container (less complexity), and create fluid and responsive layouts that adjust smoothly to different screen sizes.
  • Developers get a ‘flex-wrap’ CSS property, which is great for creating responsive layouts that allow elements to wrap onto multiple lines when container width/height is limited.

How does Min/Max and Wrap support improve Anima’s code?

By leveraging Figma’s Min/Max and Wrap features, Anima’s code generation process becomes more efficient, resulting in cleaner, more maintainable CSS.

The ‘flex-wrap’ property is utilized for wrapping elements onto multiple lines, enabling the creation of flexible and adaptive layouts that seamlessly adjust to different screen sizes.
