Tips to Get the Best Results with This Feature
While implementing the feature in Elementor, there are some common mistakes that you might face. These mistakes can lead to design inconsistencies, broken layouts or misaligned elements. To ensure your final output matches the Figma design, let’s have a look at the best practices while using the feature.
Choosing And Selecting a Layout
Before getting the JSON code, you have to choose and select which layout you want to show on your website. You can choose the entire layout or a specific layout on your Elementor. But while choosing the layout, sometimes you might miss out on some of them while selecting. Remember that the JSON code will only generate the code based on the layout you want. If you miss anything, then you have to regenerate the code.
Naming of the Layout
While designing in Figma, you have to keep the naming proper and based on the guidelines. You will find the name of each element in the ‘Guideline’ tab of your FigWP plugin. Make sure in your Figma design, while creating the layout, you have given each layout a proper and accurate name based on the guidelines.
For example, if you want to show an ‘Info Box’ on your website, make sure that in the design, the layout name is ‘Info Box’ and not anything else. To see a proper design in Elementor, you have to name the layout properly on your Figma design.
Regeneration of JSON Code
If you later bring changes to your Figma design, then make sure you regenerate the JSON code and paste it again in Elementor. Since this feature allows you to convert the Figma design as it is, you have to regenerate the code every time you make any changes. While generating the code, you will find another option to ‘Generate Another File’ and it will take you back to the previous stages to bring changes and generate another JSON file.
