Figma Plugin SDK

Based on the awesome work of thomas-lowry in figma-plugin-ds-svelte We plan to improve documentation and expend it besides components.

WORK IN PROGRESS

This is still a work in progress. Here's the roadmap:

• Adopt SvelteKit and Vite
• Convert to typescript
• Publish an NPM package
• Add Storybook documentation
• Publish a Figma file with design tokens and variables
• Update the Figma file with reusable components
• Create a project template repository

Figma Plugin DS Svelte [The Original README]

WORK IN PROGRESS—This is a Svelte version of the Figma Plugin DS specifically for use in creating Figma Plugins. I decided to create this because Svelte seems like a great lightweight approach well suited for creating Figma plugins, and also improves the developer experience when compared to my vanilla JS Figma Plugin DS due to simplified markup.

You can also get started with Figsvelte, a boilerplate for Figma plugins that already has this library setup as a dependency.

Installation

To install into your own Svelte project. npm i -D figma-plugin-ds-svelte

To use

//import the global css which includes Figma color, spacing, and type vars
//also includes a basic set of utility classes
import { GlobalCSS } from 'figma-plugin-ds-svelte';

//import the desired components
import { Button, Input, SelectMenu } from 'figma-plugin-ds-svelte';
