FramerJS - How to Reset or Refresh Prototype from code, without reloading?

Question

How to reset a FramerJS prototype programatically (through code)?

I have defined a layer on clicking of which I want the prototype to reset to its initial state. I have tried using location.reload() but that reloads from network. How to reset without reloading the prototype from network?

You can achieve this by calling Framer.CurrentContext.reset() and rebuilding your prototype.

To make this easy, write all your setup code inside a function that you call after resetting the context. Remember to also call the setup() function for the initial setup.

Example:

setup = ->
    # Everything should go inside the setup() function
    layerA = new Layer
        backgroundColor: 'green'

    layerA.animate
        properties:
            x: Align.right

    resetButton = new Layer
        x: Align.center
        y: Align.bottom
        backgroundColor: 'red'

    resetButton.onClick ->
        Framer.CurrentContext.reset()
        #Call setup() again to recreate all layers
        setup() 

# Initial setup call
setup()
