I wanted to solve the problem of design to development handoff so I built a tool to convert Figma API’s into predictable, repeatable code.
Instead I learn a hard lesson about self-promotion.
How it's built.
Svelte
The goal was to create an interface that matched the Figma design at the time. Leveraging Svelte as the UI library, I was able to keep the plugin fast and nimble for users.
Figma API
The Figma API does a lot of the heavy lifting now, but at the time all code for the plugin was generated by looking at the structure of the selected node and converting the structure to markup, and the styles to a basic style object.
