Question 1

How to install ViewController for Framer?

Accepted Answer

Download the ViewController.coffee file from the GitHub repository and place it in your Framer project's modules folder, then require it in your CoffeeScript code as shown in the getting started section of the README.

Question 2

Is ViewController for Framer compatible with Framer X or newer versions?

Accepted Answer

The module was designed for Framer.js (Classic), and there's no mention of compatibility with Framer X or later versions in the README, so it might require adjustments or may not work without modifications.

Question 3

ViewController for Framer vs Framer's built-in navigation tools?

Accepted Answer

ViewController offers more structured history management and auto-linking features from Sketch, but Framer's native components might be more integrated and up-to-date for simple navigation, with less overhead.

Question 4

How to add custom animations to ViewController for Framer?

Accepted Answer

You can customize animations by passing animation options as a second argument to transition methods, such as time and curve, and use the ViewWillSwitch and ViewDidSwitch events to inject custom logic or combine with other Framer animations.

Question 5

What happens if auto-linking doesn't work in ViewController?

Accepted Answer

Auto-linking relies on precise layer naming conventions (transitionName_viewName); if it fails, you can manually create onClick events in code or check for typos in layer names, as described in the autoLink property section.

Question 6

Can I use ViewController for Framer without the Sketch plugin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Sketch plugin is optional; auto-linking can be done manually by renaming layers in Sketch or other tools, but the plugin simplifies the process for Sketch users to generate links quickly.
