would also be great to be able to strip out any fill opacity values from the svg when using color variables as the fill (as opacity is often already set within the variable)

Hey Tim! Thanks for your feedback on SVH-export! I’ve gone ahead and switched your topic as “Share an idea”.

This would be great.

I would add to have this option in the REST api GET images endpoint too.

I agree!! We need this so badly. We have to use hacks today and switch the color by one bit to identify different semantic colors so that we can handle them correctly in the code. Please add this feature!!

Good suggestion I’d love to see this.

Need this!!!
Could we do this in an optimized way, somehow?
Is there any plugin that could help me do this…?

This would be such a boost for the use of themes in design systems.

Current Behavior:

SVG exports include hardcoded color values, for example:

<path d="..." fill="#008EF2" style="fill:#008EF2;fill:color(display-p3 0.0000 0.5569 0.9490);fill-opacity:1;" />

Proposed Behavior:

SVG exports should use CSS variables when Figma variables are employed in the design:

<path d="..." fill="#008ef2" style="fill: var(--illustration-deco-object-shade, #008ef2);fill-opacity:1;" />

This change would align SVG exports with the current CSS code generation in Dev Mode, which already utilizes variables:

.rectangle {
  background: var(--illustration-deco-object-shade, #008ef2);
  /* ... */
}

Benefits

1. Consistency across different export formats (CSS and SVG)
2. Improved maintainability of exported assets
3. Easier integration with design systems using CSS variables
4. Enhanced flexibility for developers working with Figma-exported SVGs

While this feature isn’t implemented, maybe there’s a workaround for CSS themes with exported SVGS, such as using ids on elements?

This would also be useful in Android when exporting svg that then get converted into vector Drawables

Hey there
Just published a plugin especially for generating the SVG code with color tokens:

Waiting for you feedback of how to improve it 🙂
