framer-app-base

A Framer module to create the base of an app with a flow component and a tab bar menu. When you tap on a menu item, it animates the switch between pages in the direction of the new page.

Installation

1. Download the appBase.coffee file
2. Create a Framer project and add the file in /modules
3. At the top of the Framer document write base = require "appBase"

Usage

create a new object appBase with the following arguments

1. Array of layers for the different pages

2. the header layers

3. the tab bar layer. Its children are the tab elements. The tabs are layers initially in their selected state color, the module takes care of graying them out and keeping only the selected tab in color.

   new base.appBase([array of layers], header, menu)

Example

# Require the module
base = require "appBase"

# Create a series of layers that will become the pages
layer1 = new Layer
    backgroundColor: "#ffffff"
    size: Screen.size
text1 = new TextLayer
    text: "Page 1"
    textTransform: "uppercase"
    fontWeight: 700
    parent: layer1
    color: "#000000"
    x: Align.center
    y: Align.center

layer2 = new Layer
    backgroundColor: "#ffffff"
    size: Screen.size
text2 = new TextLayer
    text: "Page 2"
    textTransform: "uppercase"
    fontWeight: 700
    parent: layer2
    color: "#000000"
    x: Align.center
    y: Align.center

layer3 = new Layer
    backgroundColor: "#ffffff"
    size: Screen.size
text3 = new TextLayer
    text: "Page 3"
    textTransform: "uppercase"
    fontWeight: 700
    parent: layer3
    color: "#000000"

    fontWeight: 700
    parent: layer4
    color: "#000000"
    x: Align.center

    width: 750
    height: 103

    menuEl = new Layer
        parent: layerMenu

        height: 68
        image: "images/menuEL.png"
        y: 24
