Hello Friends of Figma!
I’m building a Figjam plugin which generates shapes with dynamic text content, and I need your expertise to make it perfect!
I’m using the figma.createShapeWithText() function, which creates a nice shape just as expected. However, when it comes to adding text, I’m a bit stuck. I want to pass the randomText variable into the “characters” property, but no luck so far. 😕
Has anyone here cracked the code for a similar situation? Your valuable insights would mean a lot to me!
Here’s what I’ve done so far:
async function createRandomTextShape() {
const x = 100;
const y = 100;
const randomText = "Aliqua consequat elit ipsum.";
const shapeWithText = figma.createShapeWithText();
shapeWithText.shapeType = "ROUNDED_RECTANGLE";
shapeWithText.x = x;
shapeWithText.y = y;
[...]
shapeWithText.fontSize = 12;
shapeWithText.textAlignHorizontal = "CENTER";
**shapeWithText.text.characters = randomText;**
figma.currentPage.appendChild(shapeWithText);
}
Massive thanks
