I’m looking to get data about nested instances in components for a plugin I’m working on. I’d also be keen to know if there’s a Figma plugin developer community I can join too.
Thanks!
Question
Is it possible to get information about nested instances from the plugin API?
figma.com
You can ask questions, leave feedback and bug reports here on the forum, in the Plugin and Widget API and REST API categories. Also, you can join the developers server on Discord: Friends of Figma.
Thanks @tank666! I’ll try that but I’m not sure I’ll get the info I need from a recursive function over all a component’s children and all their children. I’m specifically looking for nested instances that are available to interact with from the main component, not just child components within a parent component.
Ahh, that might work… although I was trying to access that information from ComponentNode or ComponentSetNode. I guess I can create an instance, get what I need and delete the instance. Thanks again!
It is not necessary to create an instance. You can traverse the tree of a component’s children and check the isExposedInstance property on instance nodes.
