How to retrieve a CMS value in a custom code component?
Use a Framer code override to read a CMS Number field and auto-refresh the page after a configurable number of seconds.
Why we picked it
A concise, practical example of bridging Framer CMS and code overrides — perfect for understanding how to pull a CMS value into custom logic.
What you’ll learn
- Create a CMS Number field to store the refresh interval
- Insert and isolate a CMS value on the canvas
- Write an override that reads the value and stores it
- Set a timer that refreshes the page using the CMS-driven value
Who it’s for
Framer builders who want CMS-controlled behavior without leaving the visual editor.
