Hello everyone!
I'm using Framer to build one of my sites.
I would somehow like to use magicUI in framer, but so far I haven't managed to do it.
Therefore my question: Is this even possible?
Thanks and best regards!

Hello! @jooles
Yes, it's possible to use MagicUI in Framer, but there are a few things you'll need to ensure for it to work properly, since Framer is a design tool that allows you to create interactive prototypes and websites, while MagicUI is a utility-first design system often used in projects for quick UI component usage.
Here’s how you can integrate MagicUI into your Framer project:
Steps to Use MagicUI in Framer:
-
Import MagicUI in Framer:
Since Framer supports React-based components, you should be able to import MagicUI directly if it's available as a package (like npm or yarn). First, you will need to install it:- Go to your Framer project’s code editor (where you can edit your components).
- If you're using MagicUI via npm or yarn, install it as a dependency.
npm install magic-ui # or yarn add magic-ui
-
Configure MagicUI in Framer:
After installing, you can import and use the components from MagicUI directly in your Framer code components.import { Button, Input } from 'magic-ui'; // Example component const MagicUIButton = () => { return <Button label="Click me" />; }; export default MagicUIButton;
-
Styling and Customization:
MagicUI provides pre-defined styles, but you may want to customize them to fit your design in Framer. You can do this by either overriding styles throughclassName
or using Framer’s built-in style capabilities. -
Ensure Compatibility:
Since Framer is a design and prototyping tool with a React environment, it’s important to ensure that MagicUI components are compatible with React and that you’re not conflicting with Framer’s layout or components. MagicUI should be React-compatible, but if you experience issues, you can try debugging by ensuring all dependencies are up to date and compatible.
Alternative Approach: Embedding MagicUI via Iframe (if Direct Integration Doesn't Work)
If you're facing issues integrating MagicUI directly into Framer, another approach is to create a separate MagicUI project (e.g., a simple React app) and then embed it in Framer using an iframe.
-
Create a React App with MagicUI:
You can create a new React app using Create React App or Next.js, install MagicUI, and build the components you need. -
Host the MagicUI App:
Deploy your MagicUI-based app to a hosting platform (like Vercel or Netlify). -
Embed in Framer:
Use Framer's embedding capabilities to insert an iframe linking to your hosted MagicUI app.<iframe src="https://your-magicui-app.com" width="100%" height="500px"></iframe>
This way, you can still utilize MagicUI’s components within your Framer prototype without direct integration.
Key Notes:
- Ensure that any React-based library (like MagicUI) is compatible with Framer's React setup.
- Framer allows JavaScript, so as long as the package you're using supports React, it should be straightforward to integrate.
- If you run into any compatibility issues, check Framer's documentation for tips on using external libraries.
