Svelte Template

A boilerplate template for creating Svelte Figma plugins and widgets

Figma Svelte Template

This is a template for creating Figma plugins or widgets. It's a very rough version at the moment so you might encounter bugs, if you do, please raise an issue and I'll do my best to take a look.

It's configured to support a range of things, such as:

  • Different file types, JSON, SVG etc
  • Support for PostCSS already configured
  • It supports more than one UI file, which is configurable from the manifest.json file

Getting Started

Create a new plugin or widget based on this template using degit.

npx degit fignite/svelte-template my-plugin
cd my-plugin

Then install the dependencies.

npm install

Then watch for changes while developing...

npm run dev

Configure

To configure it to suit your project, edit the file called figma.config.js.

The following options are supported:

{
    manifest: "manifest.json", // Optional. The path to the plugin or widget's manifest file
    src: "src", // The path to the ui and main source code. By default the template looks for ui code inside `/ui` and code inside `/code`.
    dest: "build", // The path where you would like the compiled files to be created (this must match what's in your manifest). Warning: this folder get's deleted,
    code: true, // Optional. Specify false if you don't want Svelte to bundle the main code. Useful if you want to use another bundler for this
}

File structure

  • src This contains both UI and Code source code. See below for help on use with multiple UI files.

Multiple UI files

To support UI files add a separate key for each UI file.

  1. Edit your manifest file to point to what will be the final compiled UI files
    {
        //...
        "ui": {
            "app": "build/app.html",
            "settings": "build/settings.html",
            "import": "build/import.html"
        }
    }
    
  2. Then structure your src/ui directory into individual Svelte apps.
        src/
            ui/
                app/
                    App.svelte
                    main.js
                settings/
                    App.svelte
                    main.js
                import/
                    App.svelte
                    main.js

To optimise for publishing your plugin...
