Where im my ts code I should declare "command" to map function to the commands from manifest.json?

I want to add submenu for my plugin. I added all items to manifest, like this doc suggests:

figma.com

But there is no example or doc of where these commands should be declare in my plugin code to map them with my plugin functions.

Huge thanks in advance!

if (figma.command === 'menu command string') {
    // do something
}

    Hey, thx a lot @tank666

    Can you suggest where exactly to declare the if statement? I tried to put it at the same place where I check figma ui message to perform operations based on the UI input. But it doesn’t seams to work.

      Yep, that worked with console log, thx. But all my logic and functions for the plugin leaves inside the figma.ui. Can you suggest any solution, how to use it all and not dublicate the hole plugin code?

      Just declare your functions in the global scope and then call them in the right places.
