Getting Started with FigmaVars

Welcome to FigmaVars, a React hooks library designed to simplify the integration of Figma variables into your React applications.

FigmaVars dot com

Installation

To get started, install FigmaVars via npm or yarn:

npm install figmavars
# or
yarn add figmavars

Setup

Before using the hooks, you need to configure your Figma API token. You can store your token securely and make it available in your application, preferably through environment variables.

Create a .env file in the root of your project and add:

REACT_APP_FIGMA_TOKEN=your_figma_api_token_here

Please ensure you have .env in your .gitignore file to secure your token.

Basic Usage

Here's a simple example of how to use the useFigmaVars hook to fetch variables from a Figma file:

import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import { useFigmaVars } from 'figma-vars-hooks';

// Define a type for the variable object
interface FigmaVariable {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  value: string; // Adjust the type according to what `value` can be
}

Const App: React.FC = () => {
  // Here we're assuming `useFigmaVars` returns an object with data, loading, and error properties
  // Adjust the type of `data` based on the actual structure of variables you expect
  const { data: variables, loading, error } = useFigmaVars('file_key_here');

  useEffect(() => {
    if (error) {
      console.error(error);
    }
  }, [error]);

  if (loading) return <div>Loading...</div>;

  return (
    <div>
      {variables?.map((varItem: FigmaVariable) => (
        <div key={varItem.id}>{varItem.name}: {varItem.value}</div>
      ))}
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

Next Steps

You can thoroughly explore the other hooks provided by FigmaVars to leverage Figma variables in your project. For detailed API documentation, please take a look at APIReference.md.

React + TypeScript + Vite

This template provides a minimal setup to get React working in Vite with HMR and some ESLint rules.

Currently, two official plugins are available:

Expanding the ESLint configuration

If you are developing a production application, we recommend updating the configuration to enable type-aware lint rules:

  • Configure the top-level parserOptions property like this:
export default {
  // other rules...
  parserOptions: {
    ecmaVersion: 'latest',
    sourceType: 'module',
    project: ['./tsconfig.json', './tsconfig.node.json'],
    tsconfigRootDir: __dirname,
  },
}
  • Replace plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended to plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended-type-checked or plugin:@typescript-eslint/strict-type-checked
  • Optionally add plugin:@typescript-eslint/stylistic-type-checked
  • Install eslint-plugin-react and add plugin:react/recommended & plugin:react/jsx-runtime to the extends list
