CMS+ Framer Collections
CMS Plus is often styled as "CMS+," symbolizing enhancement, an add-on that strengthens the existing framework. The "+" represents the extra layer of capability these tools provide—not just expanding Framer as a platform but also empowering you, the designer, to achieve more with ease and precision.
What Is It?
CMS Plus is a powerful suite of components that transforms how you manage CMS content in Framer. By offering advanced functionality for filtering, sorting, and displaying content, it empowers you to build dynamic, interactive web experiences that stand out.
Why Use It?
While Framer’s native filters allow designers to apply filters to collection lists, they are static and lack interactivity for visitors. Designers are often left to create numerous variants to cover different filter combinations, but this process can quickly become cumbersome and difficult to manage.
CMS Plus unlocks the power of Framer's native filters. By leveraging custom components, CMS Plus allows filters to be applied on-demand through its pure-function design, giving designers full control over when and how filters are used.
In addition, CMS Plus offers specialized utility components, each with unique features that further enhance the flexibility and functionality of Framer's CMS, providing a more robust and interactive content management experience.
Important
While CMS Plus strives to provide detailed documentation and helpful links directly on the components, it is best suited for users with prior experience with custom components in Framer. To maximize its potential, you should be comfortable with:
Using Framer's native filters.
Setting up component variants and interactions.
Defining variables for reusing components.
Working with nested components.
A foundational understanding of these concepts will make implementing and customizing CMS Plus a smoother and more efficient process.
