Can I use a string as the argument for figma.createNodeFromJSXAsync()?

Hi, I would like to load the JSX from an api as string and use the figma.createNodeFromJSXAsync method to generate the nodes. Any attempt so far throws the error below. Is there a way to achieve this? caught (in promise) Error: in createNodeFromJSXAsync: o is not a function at Object.createNodeFromJSXAsync (eval at (eval at createScopedEvaluatorFactory (644c3b6d-a167-4518-b10e-b00cc56cdb17:1:6906))

Component getting detached upon paste

I think this issue has been around for almost 3 years. I love the tool, but this behavior is pretty destructive, especially because you often don’t know why, when, and where it’s happening. So much so that there’s a dedicated plugin to re-attach symbols. I sounded like there was some type of fix at work, but that was 2019. Any update? Spectrum – 13 Jun 18

Wrong variant after opening overlay

Hello! I have a problem (maybe a silly problem ;-)) regarding a variant of a component. The situation is as follows: I want to open an overlay with a press on a button. The Button is a component with three variants “Default”, “Hover” and OnClick. This variants represents the states of the button. I have designed the interaction in the way that while hovering on variant “Default” the component should change to variant “Hover” and while pressing the variant “Hover” it should change to “OnClick”. In most scenarios this works (e.g. navigating to another frame). But when I want to open an overlay, after opening the overlay the component does not change back to “Default” and remains in the state “OnClick”. What have I overseen? Is there an issue in the component / a missing interaction? Here is the Figma-File: https://www.figma.com/file/iUECcs8UZimjSHcai7Jbsv/ModalOpenendByButton?type=design&node-id=0%3A1&mode=design&t=rIuvgGfvECTI0ipb-1 Sorry if there is already a similar topic

Moved components break instances link

Hello, We have a recent issue with our main Design file in our Organization, We actually have our Design system components and all our mockup into the same file. As the file is getting too much heavy we wanted to migrate the components to another file, using the « move component to this file ». It worked out for the first components, but in the middle of the process the links between the instances and the components broke, se we’ve tried to fix this by restoring both history versions. Everything works well on the main file like before, the issue is that we have in the library some Changes in pending, and once we click on « Publish » the components link broke up. Is there a way to cancel/delete the changes in pending of a library ?

Multi brand - using variable "modes" as different brands

Recently moved to Figma, and I’m having some headache deciding on how to best structure our files. We work with a white label app which we brand to (currently) around 20 clients. After moving to Figma, we would love a structure where we have 2 source of truth files (one for iOS and another for Android) which the client files would inherit changes from, but keeping their separate branding (color, radius, fonts). I understand this might not be possible, but is there a good way to avoid having to go back to each client file and manually update components if there are changes to the overall design which affects all client files? I’ve seen tutorials and examples of multi brand structures where they use Figma Variable “modes”, and set up one mode for each brand. They then link each artboard to a specific mode, so whenever a component is dragged/pasted into that artboard, it inherits the values from that artboard’s linked mode. This is essentially what we would want, but afaik this only works

Get auto layout component to snap into a container and fill the container, whatever size it is

Hey! I’m building a design system, so I need my components to be reusable and responsive to fit in all views. I’m trying to get a component (that has auto layout) to snap into a container, and automatically fill that container, so that I can make the component responsive to fit all views I need. For example a form field component that I want to add to a form for mobile and also to web. The containers for mobile and web are different size, so I need my form field component to fit to any of those containers when I’m drag and dropping the asset. I’ve tried every possible auto layout convination and nothing works, is it possible to do this? I couldn’t find this topic anywhere, sorry if it was already discussed.

Visual Studio Code Figma plugin: Should components be displayed? #problem

When using the Figma plugin in Visual Studio Code it seems that Single-variant components simply are not displayed? Is this by design? It seems very inconsistent as multi-variant component frames are listed in Figma plugin. This must either be a bug with current version of plugin or something wrong with my Figma file. Can someone please advise on how to trouble shoot this? See images attached that illustrate examples of single-variant / non-variant components not displayed in VS Code Figma plugin. Thanks,

Prototyping with variables and interactive components from library - how to?

I’m using a checkbox-component from a common component library. The checkboxes-component have some simple interactions for checking and unchecking the boxes. I’m using this checkbox-component in a prototype where you can select add-ons to a main product and I simply want to update the total price when the user is checking or unchecking the box. I’ve made a simple version of this prototype here. I’m trying to add logic to the interactions that’s already a part of the component, but it seems like it only register the interactions added on the initial state. (In this case it means that it keeps adding to the total price when checking the box, but never subtracting when unchecking). Is there a way to do this? (I could probably rebuild the variants I need for this simple component locally, but it just feels wrong 🥺 ) Thanks in advance!

Temporary edit-access to Figma file without adding editor seats

My team is trying to have more a collaborative wireframing process, where the whole product team (including engineers and product managers) get on a Figma file to wireframe together during a team meeting. However, I’m unable to grant access without making the entire team “editor” (and paying for a huge amount of extra editor seats). Is there a way of doing this? Perhaps something similar to “Open session for 24 hours” on FigJam?

Bug: variables clickable prototype

Intro: Hi! In my company, we’re currently working on a calendar feature that we’d like to test in Figma before moving to the development stage. I’m seeking advice because I’ve encountered some issues with variables (as I’m still learning about them). There might be some layer overlap causing the problem. While I’ve asked several colleagues for advice, I believe seeking help in a forum could provide additional insights. Case: It’s a calendar for archiving purposes, becase the only data available are the dates when episodes were aired on TV, nothing more (yeah, I know!). Feature: The calendar includes two dropdowns: A dropdown for selecting months. A dropdown for selecting years. A layout displaying dates and days. Bug: When clicking on a month, the episodes for that month should be displayed below in the layout. However, when clicking on a year, the month should remain the same, and only the year should change according to the episodes. This functionality works initially, but when nav

My prototype has a lot of lag but a week ago it ran perfectly

A Figma document that I have been working on and was already finished a week ago with no performance problems, but when I viewed it today it had too much lag in the smart animate of a navigation bar. Here you can see how the prototype worked until a week ago: 2023 09 22 18 39 11 1 1 And in this link how it currently runs: 2023 09 22 18 39 11 1 I also don’t think it is a memory usage problem since the document only uses 5%. What do you think is the problem that causes this? It also happens in both the desktop and browser versions.

How to Hoverstate and scroll to function at the same time?

Hi 👋, i am currently prototyping a website and I want to integrate the function that the page scrolls to a specific part when I click a button. Problem is that I also want to have a hoverstate on that button. I do know how to create the functions separately (Hover and scroll to) but how can I prototype it that it works together? Is there maybe a way to do it with components and variants? I would really appreciate it if you would help me with some advice:) Thanks a lot!

How can I use same design system starting point for multiple projects

Perhaps a newbie question, but I have done a lot of searching and can’t find an answer. I recently purchased UntitledUI as a design system and I am ready to use it on a new project. When I update a component by adding a variant say, or changing a colour, I would like it to update everywhere it is used in one particular project, but I don’t want to update other projects that also use that same component. I can… Create instances from my design system then detach them in my design file. This seems to defeat the purpose of having it linked to a master if I want to make a change. Update the master component in UntitledUI, but then wont my customization affect every usage of that component in multiple projects? I don’t want that. My gut tells me what I want is a ‘copy’ of the design system that is local to each project. If that is actually what you are supposed to do, how is that done? Is there a ‘make a copy’ for libraries?

When converting Japanese input in Figma's comment feature, there is a behavior where the cursor moves

When using the comment feature in Figma for Japanese input, the cursor occasionally moves to the very end of the comment upon confirming the conversion. As demonstrated in the attached capture, this behavior does not always occur with the same keyboard operations. I am quite troubled by this and would like to see it improved. For this demonstration, ‘Google Japanese Input’ is being used for Japanese input. However, the same behavior occurs with the Japanese input system that comes with MacOS.
