How to navigate reusable components across multiple pages in Bubble.io: Step-by-Step Guide

 

These are elements that are utilized in more than one place within your app. A reusable element can be a group of elements, such as a navigation bar or a footer, which you want to maintain consistently across different pages.

 

In the Bubble editor, go to the reusable elements section, then create a new reusable element by selecting the 'New Reusable Element' option. Give your new element a descriptive name.

 

Build your element by adding text, images, buttons, and other desired elements. Keep in mind that any changes made to this element will reflect across all instances where it’s used.

 

Define any workflows or actions that your reusable element should perform. Because each instance is isolated, interactions with one instance do not affect others.

 

Go to any page where you want to use the reusable element. Use the visual element selector to choose your reusable element from the list. Drag the element onto the page and position it as needed.

 

You can send data to a reusable element using custom states or URL parameters if the reusable element needs to display or interact with dynamic data differently on each page.

 

When you need to make changes, you only have to update the reusable element in one place. This change automatically propagates to every page where the element is used, maintaining consistency and saving time.

 

Know that reusable elements can vary in type: Group: A standard container for other elements. Popup: Appears over other content and is used for alerts, forms, etc. Floating group: Remains visible while scrolling (useful for navigation bars).

 

Reusable elements help keep your app’s performance optimized by only needing to be loaded once, reducing the amount of redundant content, and streamlining workflows.

 

Reusable elements can declutter the visual editor by minimizing the number of elements and workflows on any single page, making it easier to manage your app's design and logic.
