Lazy Export

Lazy export is inspired by a feature that was apart of my workflow in Sketch. I became tired of manually applying export settings across assets and projects. So this was born March 21st, locked up in my apartment.

Have a feature request or bug? Please feel free to add an issue!

A Pull request would work perfectly, as well. You may have noticed in this repo I am talking to my self a lot as I use this space to keep learning. PR would get it done faster; I just may ask a lot of questions. 🤓

What does it do?

Lazy Export allows the user to apply default export settings to selected objects in Figma.

How does it work?

There are two ways to trigger your export settings to be applied. The first is a window giving you UI access to run the plugin commands. (Set Platform, Apply Settings, Clear Settings) The second is via the plugin menu; this makes the actions searchable in Figma with the ⌘+/ command.

Advanced Export Settings.

With Lazy export, you have two mobile options on how you can apply export settings.

• Default Export
• Advanced Export

With the default export, this follows the trends for exporting assets for mobile at the different screen densities. Advanced is still being worked on for a smooth workflow.

The end goal for Advanced Export Options, would be for a developer to hit apply, and Figma exports a folder of assets the developer can just drop into Android Studio, or Xcode.

Android Suffix /drawable-mdpi/default-asset

IOS Suffix /default-asset.imageset/default-asset@1x

Custom Asset Naming

Right now if you do not apply a custom name to each asset a default one will be used. I have plans on the roadmap to adjust this.

Android Suffix drawable-mdpi

IOS Suffix /default-asset@1x

# Plugin Development Tips

Tip 1:

to see the list of available JavaScript/Browser APIs on the main thread, run console.log(this) as the first line of your plugin.

Built with Figsvelte

A boilerplate for creating Figma plugins using Svelte.

This starter project has everything you need to start developing a Figma plugin using Svelte. Your JS, CSS, SVG, and image assets can be bundled on build. The package will take care of compiling your typescript + app on save during development, and also minify on the build.

Additionally, this package comes preconfigured with Figma Plugin DS Svelte where you have access to an extensive range of components and icons that match the Figma UI, to get you up and running quickly. Note: installing this boilerplate will install the component library as a dependency.

Only what you import/use will be included in the final build for small bundle size.

To get started

npx degit thomas-lowry/figsvelte figma-plugin
cd figma-plugin
npm install

Note that you will need to have Node.js installed.

Development

During development, watch your project for changes with the following command.

npm run dev

Start building your plugin UI in 'src/Plugin.svelte'.

Build

When ready to package up your final Figma Plugin:

npm run build

Useful info

To include an external CSS file:

import styles from "./styles.css";

To include an SVG:

import SvgName from './image.svg';

//use in your markup
{@html SvgName}
