This is an example of how to build a Figma plugin using Flutter web and inline all the assets in the single html file as required by the Figma plugin API.
- Tree shaking for Material Icons
- Inline assets / fonts
- Offline support in Figma (Not using remote views)
- Two way communication between Flutter and Figma
- Figma and FigJam support
- Build scripts for generating figma project
/build/figma - Typings for Figma API
- Light and Dark mode support
You will need to get a new Figma plugin ID by opening Figma Desktop App and creating a new plugin. Then copy the ID to the figma/manifest.json and also update the name key.
Make sure to check out the repo with submodules if you want the Figma typings.
git submodule update --init --recursiveYou need to update the name and description in pubspec.yaml.
To use the plugin you need to import the manifest from the build/figma folder, not the top level figma folder.
Run the build script:
dart scripts/build.dartThen open figma and import the manifest.json from the build/figma folder.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'figma.dart';
