I have built a simple plugin for my organization to generate our best practice Figma file boilerplate. I would love to be able to take advantage of the new page dividers feature, but if I use the API to edit the name of the page to something like ‘—’ it doesn’t turn into a divider like it would from the UI.

Add ability to create dividers — Figma.createDivider()?
Turn pages to divider if name is changed to “—” or similar like in UI

@Mikael_Ahlstrom trying to do same goal plugin, could you tell me please how you replace first page, precreated when you open new file?

@Andrey_Cretsu I don’t think you can with the API. I’m just keeping the Page 1 to be deleted manually.

@Andrey_Cretsu you actually can rename existing pages. Here’s my entire TypeScript file with renaming.

@Mikael_Ahlstrom I’m sure you can, have you seen this plugin?

Would be nice to have this als available from the api 😁.

Perhaps @Gleb could bring this up to the Figma team 😬

I don’t work for Figma

You can bring this to the team yourself by posting on discord.
