I’m trying to make a Figma Make kit but none of the library’s styles and variables are populating in the md files. I’ve made sure that they’re all published so I’m confused why I’m not seeing them. Very tedious to have to copy and paste all the values over too, so hoping I don’t have to do that.
Question
Figma Make Kits not reading library variables + styles
Hey,
It’s understandable why this might have confused you because of the naming of the .md files. Before I go further I want to clarify one point, though - do you see /src/styles.css in the kit? Your styles and variables should all be shown within that file, and the .md files are there to provide guidelines on how to use those files. I recommend checking out the guidelines for library styles section of the Getting Started with Make Kits help article. It’ll help you understand what that kind of guidance actually looks like and how it’s different from the styles themselves. One example of this directly from the article:
If your spacing token
--spacer-3equals 16 and not 16px, that distinction matters enormously and it's easy to overlook.
So in other words, styles.md is all about giving context to styles and variables as well as how and when to use them. Does that make sense? You might be copying and pasting some styles into that file, but only what you really need to help explain them.
