1. Clone this repo $ git clone https://github.com/switchnollie/FramerBuildTool.git
2. Run $ npm install inside the directory

How to develop

1. Develop your prototype in Sketch/ Figma/ Photoshop inside the /framerPrototype folder
2. Use Framer Generator to generate a .framer directory from your design.

How to use it with Framer

The Framer Object, and all of the API (the Animation object, the Layer object etc.) are expsed globally. Please refer to the Framer API Documentation. Your imported layers and groups are saved under the global myLayers object variable.

1. Choose your deviceType from here
2. Copy it to src/device.js

e.g.

device.deviceType = "apple-iphone-7-silver";

3. Access your layers and groups as properties on the myLayers object variable and give them state, animations, touchHandlers etc.

How to deploy

Your project can be bundled with $ npm run build. The static bundle can then be found under the dist folder.

Installing and using dependencies

• e.g. Redux: $ npm install -S redux
• in src e.g. in app.js:

import { createStore } from "redux";

Using stylesheets in your project

• create a stylesheet in the src folder e.g. app.css
• import it in your JavaScript e.g. in app.js:

import "app.css";

Using static files (Images/ Fonts/ ...) in your project

• e.g. images: Save the file under src e.g. src/img/myPicture.png

import picture from "img/myPicture.png";

sketch.myLayer1.states = {
  withPicture: {
    image: picture
  }
