Framer Label module

Create a layer that is the intrinsic size (height and width) of the text content it contains. There is also support for single/multi-line truncation.

Check out the example or clone/download this repo, open it in Framer Studio and play around.

Usage

$ cd <myProject>.framer
$ npm install framer-label

modules/myModule.coffee:

exports.Label = require "framer-label"

app.coffee:

{Label} = require "myModule"

new Label
  text: "One great label"
  lineHeight: 1.5
  lineNumber: 2
  maxWidth: 100

API

Layer#lineCount <number>

Aliases: lineNumber, lineClamp, numberOfLines

Represents the max number of lines a label can have. This only applies when there is a constraining maxWidth set. Set to 0, null or any other falsey value to stop truncation and render the label at its inherit height.

Layer#maxWidth <number>

Constrain the label’s width and truncate any overflowing text. If the text is shorter than the set maxWidth, the label will shrink to that inherit size.

Layer#text <string>

The text (and/or HTML) to display.

Layer#<css-typography-property>

All the CSS typography properties are Label properties as well. No need to myLabel.style.lineHeight = 1.5. Numeric values are intelligently suffixed with 'px' and unitless properties, like lineHeight, stay unitless.

Layer#update

Update the label's size.
