With this boilerplate, you can streamline your workflow and focus more on creating beautiful, functional plugins for Figma. Its thoughtful design and user-friendly features make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance their development process while maintaining code clarity.

Features

  • Logical Sides in Mind: This boilerplate separates the main and UI processes while allowing code sharing, ensuring your project is well-structured and easy to manage.

  • Intercommunitive Architecture: It facilitates communication between different sides of the plugin without resorting to overloaded nested statements, simplifying the code with isolated events and handlers.

  • Easy to Build: A one-time configuration in the figma.manifest.ts file lets you build your project effortlessly using a single command, generating a ready-to-publish /dist folder.

  • Bundled into One File: To comply with Figma’s requirements, this boilerplate bundles everything needed into one file, handling various asset imports and CSS within a streamlined setup.

  • SVG as Component Support: Import SVGs directly as React components instead of basic assets, enhancing the functionality and visual appeal of your plugin.

  • Sassy Support: Utilize Sass/Scss/Less for styling, providing powerful preprocessing features, and example templates to maintain a clean and efficient styling system.

  • Straightforward Development Process: The setup is simple, with easy commands to build and run your Figma plugins, along with hot reloading support for a smooth coding experience.

  • Developing without Figma Context: Allows you to build and test your UI components independently in a browser, providing flexibility to focus on design before integrating with the Figma context.
