Figma plugin for Perspective

General Discussion
1

Someone on our team (who I'm asking to join the forum here) is playing around with a plugin to Figma to export assets ready for Ignition.
To clarify, this would be an Ignition plugin for Figma, not a module or asset to run or load in Ignition.

For example:

  • Export CSS/assets directly from Figma ready for import as a Perspective theme
  • Export frames/containers as view json ready for import into Perspective.
  • Map parameters for Figma components to parameters for Perspective embedded views

Has anyone else dabbled with Figma plugin development? Any other use cases you can imagine?

That will be very useful, especially now when Adobe was forced to pull out of the deal.

Wow designing in Figma is extremely interesting, so at the moment how do you import Figma assets inside ignition?
You copy assets manually inside ignition's web-app folder?

@msteele,
Any news about the Figma plugin? Were you able to get anything conclusive?

No, we decided not to pursue it. Our architecture simplified quite a bit over this time period and we generally just need to build things once. We still prototype in Figma but it's not worth the squeeze to automate moving it into Perspective. We've automated how our UI builds itself instead.
