Codify is a Figma plugin that can convert design files into various code formats, such as React, Vue, HTML, and CSS. This is a Figma plugin that I put a lot of effort into developing. I created it because it was needed for my work. The team I’m on uses Vue components library to build the business system. I had tried using many excellent Figma to HTML plugins from the community before, but they all generated Vue or React component code, which was thoughtful but unfortunately our team doesn’t use that code. So I decided to develop my own Figma to Code plugin that can map component libraries. This process took nearly 200 days, and then it has been applied in the team’s production environment until now, and it has greatly improved our work efficiency. For this, I spent another 5 months rewriting the controllable API and code generation for various front-end frameworks. This way, it can meet the needs and development standards of every enterprise and team. Now I’m excited to publish it to t

Good day everyone. Slot components are the thing and I want to share my little plugin that makes working with them easier. The main use case is when you want to create a local component and swap it right away. As an example I will use a modal dialog component, I got a setup like this There is a dialog with three instance swap properties. There is a header, a content and a footer, all of them I can replace with other components. Usually to embed custom content I’d need to do the following Create a local component that represents new content inside that dialogue I have to use the instance swap dropdown to locate that local component. This is the most tedious part and the number of steps depends on your style of work. To speed up the process I made a simple automation that simplifies the process. Here is how it works. Firstly, you add an instance to the canvas, like this Now I run Source DS Utils > Slot to local component command The automation detects instance swap properties on

Hello! We released unique plugin for auto-adjust typography in text layers. It’s TypeBalance Plugin. Please check: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1343994326021053695/typebalance

Hi everyone, As designers, we constantly juggle keeping up with the latest insights, tools, and trends from platforms like Medium, LinkedIn, newsletters (ADPList, UXTools, etc.), and more. While these resources are valuable, they’re spread across multiple platforms, making it harder to consolidate the knowledge we need. I’m exploring the idea of building a dedicated app just for UX/UI designers to: Streamline insights from your favourite creators in one place. Cover categories like Research, UI Design, Process, Hiring Tips, and more. Notify you about new content based on your preferences. But first, I want to understand how you currently stay updated and whether such an app would add value. Here’s a short survey (2-3 minutes): https://lnkd.in/ebGdqQEr Your feedback will shape the vision of this tool! Also, if we get strong interest, I’d love to share follow-ups with you. If you’re open to providing further insights, you can optionally leave your email at the end of the survey. Looking

Imported Components Finder scans your design file for all imported components, making it easier to locate and jump to any specific element with just a click. Select layers or leave empty to search the whole page. Click [Search Imported Components] to begin the search. A list of imported components will appear with their names and positions. If no components are found, you’ll see a “No components found” message. Click the [Select] button next to a component to zoom and select it on the canvas.

Hi everyone, I’ve created a new Token Swapper plugin for Figma to address limitations I encountered while working on a multi-brand app UI. The Figma’s Pro plan’s 4 Modes (or even the Enterprise plan’s 40 Modes) weren’t sufficient for my needs. Token Swapper allows you to quickly switch between themes (variables and styles) without relying on Modes. The only requirement is that you organize your themes in top-level folders within both the variables and styles sections. I’d love for you to try it out and share your thoughts. Your feedback is appreciated! https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1413574934305847457/token-swapper

Hi everyone! I am working on geometry nodes for my plugin, Generator, and early access to these nodes will soon be available to my subscribers. twitter.com It’s not exactly real time, more like eventual time, or asap time 😋, especially as graphs get more complex. I think there’s still some optimization possible, but ultimately it’s all limited by JSON and the lack of batch object updates in the API. Should be out in a few weeks.

FigDuo has gathered over 90,000 components from various UI kits, and the collection is growing daily. There’s no longer a need to publish your own UI kit or search the community for components. Simply search and insert directly from FigDuo. Currently, FigDuo is in version 1.0.0, and we are committed to continuous improvement in the near future. Hope you will like it. https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1402193099262765707/figduo-figma-component-library
