figwire - bidirectional awaitable IPC communication for figma plugin development

Hi, I’m an author of an figwire - lightweight typescript friendly library for seamless communication between plugin and UI layers.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/figwire

How does it work:

0. For the work on the plugin side use imports from `figwire/plugin`, and for the work on the ui side use imports from `figwire/ui` 
1. On the one side you define the methods that will be available on the other side:

   const pluginApi = defineApi({
     greet: (name: string) => `Hello ${name}!`
   });

    

2. Export the type for these definitions:

   export type PluginAPIDefinition = typeof pluginApi;

    

3. Provide the type for the client on the other side:

   const pluginApiClient = client<PluginAPIDefinition>();

    

4. Use the methods using typescript suggestions:

   const greeting = await pluginApiClient.greet('Johnny Jeep');

And that’s it.

It’s an early release, therefore I am open to suggestions.

Please let me know what you think!
