Framer Upgrade & Migration

Overview

Guide for upgrading Framer plugin SDK, Server API, and migrating between Framer platform versions. Check the Framer Developer Changelog for breaking changes before upgrading.

Instructions

Step 1: Check Current Versions

npm list framer-plugin framer-api framer
npm view framer-plugin version
npm view framer-api version

Step 2: Review Changelog

Visit https://www.framer.com/developers/changelog for breaking changes.

Key migrations:

• Plugin API 3.x: Introduced Managed Collections, Code File APIs
• Server API beta: WebSocket-based programmatic access
• Code Components v2: Updated property control types

Step 3: Upgrade Plugin SDK

git checkout -b upgrade/framer-plugin
npm install framer-plugin@latest
npm run build  # Check for type errors
npm test       # Run tests

Step 4: Common Migration Patterns

// Plugin API 2.x → 3.x: Collection APIs changed
// BEFORE: framer.createCollection(...)
// AFTER: framer.createManagedCollection(...)

// Code components: ControlType changes
// BEFORE: ControlType.FusedNumber
// AFTER: ControlType.Number (with min/max/step)

// Overrides: import path
// BEFORE: import { Override } from 'framer'
// AFTER: import { Override } from 'framer' (unchanged, but check type shape)

Step 5: Rollback

# Pin to previous version
npm install framer-plugin@3.x.x --save-exact
