Framer Introduces React Fast Refresh for Code Components

Posted on April 10, 2025

Framer has significantly enhanced its Code Preview functionality by integrating React Fast Refresh, marking a substantial improvement in the platform's development capabilities. The new implementation allows developers to see instantaneous updates while maintaining component state—a considerable upgrade from the previous system that required complete page refreshes.

The update particularly benefits developers working with Code Components, as it maintains state persistence between edits while delivering real-time preview updates. This enhancement eliminates the need for state resets during iterative development, creating a more fluid and efficient workflow.

By implementing React Fast Refresh, Framer continues to strengthen its development toolkit, enabling creators to work more effectively with code-based components while maintaining a seamless creative process.
