So, variables are one of the most important functionalities in Figma, but the plugin API doesn’t help developers when it comes to variables, basically, there is no way for an open plugin to know when a user create, remove, reorder, or edit a variable or variable collection. Even though, this is possible with styles, which are less important and common than variables.
If the document change event doesn’t include variable changes, then how an open plugin is supposed to get this information?
Why variable changes haven’t been added to the document change event until now?
