Framer's default import is safe but the results are cumbersome to work with.
The Dump snippet modifies Framer's import so that:
- Variables are created for imported layers based on their layer names.
- Imported layers have properties that correspond to their sub layers' names.
Q: "Couldn't this overwrite layer properties and methods?!"
A: Yes.
- Don't name your layer groups "x", "width", "Framer", "states", "animate", etc.
- If you're anxious, use SaferDump.coffee . It will alert you when something is overwritten.
- Don't sweat. We're bashing out prototypes, not writing production code. It's also easy to fix problems by renaming groups in your imported file and re-importing.
Place Dump.coffee and/or SaferDump.coffee in your snippets folder.
You can find your snippets folder in Framer by clicking 'Snippets > Show Snippets Folder'
