Scaricare File figma interattivo

Ciao, io avrei bisogno di scaricare il file Figma che ho reso interattivo attraverso l’uso di pulsanti ed animazioni. Mi piacerebbe creare un’applicazione funzionante da inoltrare ai miei amici, senza però il vincolo di dover passare necessariamente da Figma per aprirlo. Sarebbe una cosa possibile? Grazie! 🙂

Multi Theme Components

I have a published master library of components which I want to use in different themes in different files. I want the components that I pick from the asset drawer in a new file to adapt to the local styles instantly. Is there a plugin available for this? I tried using the “Themer” plugin but I have to apply it every time I introduce a new component from the master library in the new file. 😕

Feature roadmap prioritization

How can we know what features are being prioritized on Figma’s roadmap? Many ideas and bugs shared here have many votes but have been left unsolved for years, even though users are still bumping, adding comments, and voting. Ex.: Expose nested instances at component level Use percent for min and max width Since variables were released, I have gone deeply into updating our company’s files to use them and updating my team’s workflow. However, it seems the feature still didn’t leave beta, as we still don’t have basic search functionality, native variable swapping and management functionality, being able to reference opacity variables in color aliases, etc. I’ve voted on several topics requesting these features, as we’re always reminded to do because it helps the company prioritize, but there’s no communication whatsoever about what is actually being prioritized, or if these issues will ever get actioned. Until they do we can only pay for different third-party plugins for specific cases or

Removing page node suddenly not working

I created a plugin that allows me to create pages, rename them, and pull in components for things like the cover. A few days ago it suddenly stopped working and now I get an error “Error: in remove: Removing this node is not allowed”. Its pretty much stopping right at the originalPage.remove() section but not sure why it would cause an error now. const page = figma.createPage(); page.name = "Cover"; page.backgrounds = [{ type: 'SOLID', color : {r: 0, g: 0, b: 0}}]; const originalPage = figma.currentPage; figma.currentPage= page; originalPage.remove(); async function importNode() { let importComponent = await figma.importComponentByKeyAsync("b917533f747dd140e0922675938169c95e3f4456"); let importComponent2 = await figma.importComponentByKeyAsync("e44e6e490be70ccc67b34702d4af234c765a020e"); importComponent.createInstance(); figma.currentPage = page2; importComponentOntoPage(page2, importComponent2); figma.currentPage = page3; importComponentOntoPage(page3, im

Seeking Plugin for Analyzing Font Weights and Sizes Across Entire Pages for Design System Creation

I’m working on a Design System for a company that has a complete UI for both mobile and web apps. I need a plugin to help me analyze the pages (or ideally the whole file) and extract font weights and sizes together to create typography styles based on the existing design. So far, the plugins I’ve found only provide font weights and sizes separately, which isn’t very efficient for such a large design. I understand the list might be long, but this would save a lot of time compared to manually going through everything. If there isn’t a plugin that does this, do you have any recommendations on how to approach this problem? Plugins I’ve tried that almost solved the problem: FontScanner, Design Lint, TextManager pls, help 😭

I can't swap the parts inside the component after copying it

I can swap the parts of the component when I deal with the main component. Once I copy the main component and it becomes an instance, I can’t swap its parts. You can see it in the video Here it is possible, because its the main component: Here I am dealing with the instance, hence I can’t change swap its parts:

Instanced component's variants don't receive updates?

I stumbled upon a weird bug I can’t seems to be able wrapping my head around. My usecase is as following: In my library file I have a local component with 2 variants called “Component content”. There’s the default variant “Green” and another one “Red”. This is instanced inside the black “Component” component, with “Component content” set to default green. My issue is that as soon I use “Component” in other files, and make changes to any variant of “Component content” other than green, they do not propagate to instances of “component content” within “component” in other files. See demonstration below. The library is working as intended. When I change order of text and shape in variants, both instances of “Component” reflect them: https://i.gyazo.com/d2e27d059c5f10b0ba77a778d31a7f7a.mp4 Then I have a file using the library with component, and two instances of said component, setting nested instance within it of “Component content” to green and red. After updating the libraries from first

Difficult horizontal overflow scrolling

I’ve got a mobile page with vertical scrolling and a child component with horizontal overflow scrolling. Vertical is great. But the image carousel that goes horiztonal is incredibly difficult to scroll all the way. It will scroll a little with a normal finger swipe/flick but then bounce back. In order to scroll the full horizontal width of the carousel i have to use multiple fingers successively to hold and drag and by brute force reach the end. it feels like there is an incredibly strong rubber band on the end of the content making it difficult to swipe. I see no exclamation marks when i view this frame or parent frames. Only this frame has horizontal overflow scrolling enabled and parent frames i have that off. I wasn’t sure what to do about clipping content for parent frames but toggling any of those details doesn’t seem to fix this. I’ve also tried artificially setting the frame wider than the content (with clip content on) and that doesn’t change anything. Any ideas? thanks!

DocumentChange events don't support Variables

Hi, My plugin handles live updates when a Style changes, thanks to StyleCreateChange | StyleDeleteChange | StylePropertyChange events. I’m currently working with Variables and have noticed that there’s no way to achieve a similar behavior due to the lack of Variable events. Is this something that will exist in the near future? Thanks!

Find & Replace Variables

Hey Figma People! Does anyone know of a plugin that can search my entire Figma file and find & replace variables? I have tried a few shared in this forum and they don’t have the functionality I’m looking for. The use case is this - I have a button that uses “Button/Accent/Secondary/Pressed” as the fill, I want to find all components that have this value and replace it with the “/Hover” variant instead. Advice/Help would be greatly appreciated!

Using design system variables in a project

Hi everyone, I’m trying to figure out how to use Figma variables from a design system in a project file. For example, I have a checkbox component with a boolean variable to toggle between selected and unselected states, and a textbox component with variables for enabled or disabled states. In the project file, I have an unselected checkbox that disables the textbox below it. When the checkbox is selected, the textbox should become enabled. However, I’m having trouble accessing the textbox’s status variable when interacting with the checkbox. What’s the best way to set up this interaction? Thanks!

Lack of a scroll behavior in Dev Mode

Long story short - developers cannot see in Dev Mode whenever an element has a static/fixed/sticky position set. It’s not listed anywhere on the right-side panel or in the layers panel. Even fixed layers are merged into a single group. It’s quite lame that I have to check if some properties are marked in the Dev Mode (paid) and eventually fill the gaps with comments.

Info about components used within a component

Hi! I was hoping to find a way to extract a list or a view of components I use withing a bigger component. We’re working in atomic design so organisms such as headers or footers are made out of smaller components. Is there any way, or perhaps is there a plug-in, that will help me extract info about what components are used within a particular organism? Thank you!

Variables & Conditional Problem

I’m trying to set up a button so that it changes from a disabled to an active state when a certain condition is met. The condition is that at least two components (cards) need to be selected. Currently, I’ve created two string variables: merge-button-state (with a default value of inactive) and card-state (with a default value of default). On each card, I’ve set an “on click” action to set card-state to “selected”, followed by the condition: if card-state == "selected" set merge-button-state to "active" This works if I select just one card, but I want the button to become active only when at least two cards are selected. I’ve also tried creating a variable for each card component, like card1-state and card2-state, but since it’s the same component, this approach doesn’t work. Any idea how to achieve that?!
