Issue 8: Figma Variants, Filter, Select, and Breadcrumbs
Issue 8
This Train Has No Brakes!
Look out! In violation of U.S. 49 CFR § 232.103, there are no brakes on-board the Mineral train.
We don’t care. We’ve thrown caution to the wind and we’re going full-steam ahead, adding new features, components and patterns. So let’s get to them!

Figma Variants are In-the-House!
Mineral has now adopted Figma’s awesome new Variants feature. This enables us to organize and combine large numbers of variants of a component into one, with selectable options. Some of the Mineral components that use this feature so far are Buttons, Select, Filter, and Spacing.
This will make using the Mineral component library easier and more intuitive. Make sure you check it out by searching for “master” in Figma’s Assets panel.
Have No Personal Filter? We Can Help
Just like filtering when having a conversation with your friends, filtering is super-important in data-intensive applications. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. The newly updated filter pattern will certainly help. Now, if we could just create a pattern to stop your Uncle Larry from telling those bad jokes…
A Combination Even Mike Tyson Can Approve Of
Every heavyweight out there knows you need both a Select form control and Breadcrumbs… well now these components are fully updated and ready for use. Select is using the new Variant feature, while Breadcrumbs has a newly clarified and simplified overflow and expansion approach.
