Please excuse me…I’m not a professional developer. I’m trying to write a plugin that is able to find the export settings (set by the user in the app) of a component in a team library when I pull an instance. In the console, I get Iobject, Object] for mainComponent.exportSettings:


figma.on('selectionchange', async () => {

  const selection = figma.currentPage.selection;

  const instance = selectione0];

  if(instance.type === "INSTANCE" && selection.length === 1){

    const mainComponent = await instance.getMainComponentAsync();

    if(mainComponent){

      console.log("Main component: " + mainComponent.parent?.name);

      console.log("Main component's export settings: " + mainComponent.exportSettings);

      figma.closePlugin();

    }

  }

I’d really appreciate any help, especially if it’s accompanied by a good explanation (since, I’m trying to learn this stuff). Thanks!!!

I figured out that my code IS actually working! The “mainComponent.exportSettings” might have been showing up as just uobject, Object] in the console, but if I had actually applied those exportSettings to my instance, I would have seen that they carried through. Duh. Sorry.


A thing I discovered that may be of interest: When you change the export settings on a component, or a variant in a component set in a team library, it doesn’t register as publishable. The library shows “no changes” when I went to publish. I had to make some other change, like a color or something, for the changed export settings to publish along with the rest of the library. Weird.
