Configuring Figma’s auto layout wrap
Blog post from LogRocket
Figma's auto layout feature, based on CSS Flexbox, has significantly enhanced the design process by enabling users to easily align and distribute objects within a frame, accommodating changes in size and layout direction. The recent introduction of the auto layout wrap feature allows objects to expand beyond a single row, addressing challenges of flexible layouts by automatically repositioning overflow objects to new rows. This advancement facilitates the creation of responsive designs, such as multi-select filters and card layouts, by simplifying the management of object positioning and resizing. Auto layout wrap enhances design efficiency by handling overflow objects and adapting to different screen sizes, reducing the need for manual adjustments. It is especially beneficial for maintaining organized layouts across various display dimensions, streamlining the design workflow and saving time.
