How do I make a nested Figma component?

Asked 3 years ago

I need to be able to structure my Figma components in different ways. I want to be able to have the flexibility of moving my components around and reusing them for various designs. A friend of mine mentioned that I can use nested components on Figma. I want to try using it, but I don’t know how.

There are several ways for the production of nested components. I'll try to explain with a simple one. The most basic one starts with creating a building block and then inducing other components inside it so that it nests there with discipline. The main advantage of this method is its universal use. As the base block is the same, you can use it for different plugin spaces just by swapping the additional induced component.
