Naming Components

Every component on a project can be named. To change the name of a component:

  1. Right-click that component to open its context-menu
  2. Click the edit icon or its current name
  3. Change the name of the component
  4. Click anywhere else for it to take effect

By default components have the name of which component they are (for example a row is a Row), but you can change this. Naming components can be useful to identify them later and know more about them just by reading their name. But by the most important situation where you must name a component, is when you want to use an Action of that component. Here are some examples:

  • You want to hide a specific row, then you should give it a name, to distinguish it from other rows
  • You want a Video component to play, you should give it a name, to distinguish it from other video components
  • You want animate an image into view, then you should give it a name, to distinguish it from other images
