To clarify, this is not about applying variables to component layers (which we know will probably come in future updates), but rather linking or assigning a component instance to a variable, so that we can use it in logical expressions (hopefully sparing us from creating a ton of variables, which is already happening).
Since the relationship between components and variants is very similar to that of Classes and Objects in OOP, it would be interesting if we could access the properties of components by linking them to variables, the way most programming languages do.
Assigning an instance 🔷button of a component to a variable “foo”, we could access each of its defined properties, such as 🔷foo.state = “disabled”
The types of variables could be identified based on the structure already used in components. Nested instances could be presented in a recursive way.
Personally, I believe that this would be a very intuitive way to control variants/components in the same way as we are used to (i have coding background, so i’m definitely biased), but taking advantage of the functionality of variables.
I would love to hear your opinion or suggestions. <3
