# Creating a Button Hover Effect

This tutorial demonstrates how to use **custom components** to create a smooth hover (mouse-over) animation for buttons.

## **Prerequisites**

- Basic layer manipulation skills
- Understanding of component fundamentals
- Familiarity with the properties panel layout

## **Step-by-Step Guide**

### **Step 1: Create a Button Component**

1. Select the button layer, right-click, and choose **“Create Component”**.
2. Enter a component name and double-click to open the component editor.

### **Step 2: Add a Hover Variant**

1. Inside the component editor, select the root node.
2. Click **“Add Hover Variant.”**

### **Step 3: Create a Hover Text Element**

1. Duplicate the text component ( **Ctrl+D** / **Cmd+D**).
2. Set the new text’s position mode to **Absolute Positioning**.
3. Adjust the **Top** value so that the text sits outside the blue background area.

### **Step 4: Define the Hover Animation**

1. Select the text element inside the **Hover** variant.
2. In the right-hand panel, click **“\+ Add Property.”**
3. Choose **Y-axis Offset**.
4. Set the value to **200%**.

### **Step 5: Fine-Tune Text Position**

1. Select the lower text component.
2. Adjust its **Top** value to **17px**.

### **Step 6: Hide Overflow Content**

1. Select the **Default** root component.
2. In the properties panel, locate the **Overflow** setting.
3. Set it to **Hidden**.

### **Step 7: Preview the Effect**

You can now preview the hover effect in action. When users hover over the button, the text smoothly transitions with an animated slide.

## **Advanced Notes**

Once you’ve mastered button hover effects, you can apply the same principles to other components such as cards, navigation items, and more.

### **Component Property Inheritance Rules**

- **Unmodified properties**: Attributes from the **Primary component** are inherited by all variants (e.g., _Overflow: Hidden_).
- **Modified properties**: If a property is changed in a variant, updates in the Primary component won’t override it.
- **Reset properties**: Properties that differ from the Primary show a **blue indicator**. Right-click the property and select **“Reset”** to restore consistency.
