I'll create a mock of a Figma plugin to sync Figma variables. This will include a simple user interface and some basic functionality to demonstrate how such a plugin might work. Let's start with the main component for the plugin UI.
Let's create the main component for our Figma plugin:
This mock Figma plugin demonstrates a basic interface for syncing Figma variables. Here's a breakdown of the component:
fetchVariables
function to simulate fetching variables from Figma. In a real plugin, this would interact with the Figma API.The main FigmaPlugin
component uses React hooks to manage state:
variables
state holds the current list of variables.syncStatus
state manages the sync status message.The UI is structured to look like a typical Figma plugin:
The handleSync
function simulates a sync process:
To use this mock in a real Figma plugin, you would need to:
fetchVariables
function with actual calls to the Figma API.This mock provides a good starting point for visualizing how a Figma variable sync plugin might look and function. You can expand on this basic structure to create a fully functional plugin that integrates with your specific design system and workflow.
I'll add a preview button next to the sync variables button. This preview button will allow users to see a visual representation of the variables before syncing them. Let's update the FigmaPlugin
component to include this new feature.
Let's update the FigmaPlugin
component:
I've made the following changes to add the preview button and functionality:
Eye
icon from lucide-react
, which we'll use for the preview button.isPreviewMode
to manage whether the preview is visible or not.handlePreviewToggle
function to toggle the preview mode on and off.Updated the JSX to include:
Eye
icon.isPreviewMode
is true.The preview section displays a visual representation of the variables:
Adjusted the layout to accommodate the new button and preview section:
This update provides a simple way for users to preview their variables before syncing. The preview mode gives a visual representation of color variables and lists other variables, allowing users to quickly check their variables before committing to a sync.
To further improve this feature, you could:
These enhancements would make the plugin more powerful and user-friendly, giving designers more control over their variable syncing process.
