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.

How does it work:

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`
On the one side you define the methods that will be available on the other side:
```
const pluginApi = defineApi({
  greet: (name: string) => `Hello ${name}!`
});
```

Export the type for these definitions:

export type PluginAPIDefinition = typeof pluginApi;

Provide the type for the client on the other side:

const pluginApiClient = client<PluginAPIDefinition>();

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!
