Figma Export CLI

Figma is a design and prototyping tool. A common task after completing designs for a project is to export the designs into a presentation format like .PDF, .PNG, .JPG, or .SVG. This can be accomplished through the UI but with the recent release of the Figma API, this is a perfect candidate for some automation.

Huge credit to gweltaz-calori/Figma-To-Pdf as I leveraged a lot of the page detection and PDF export utilities from that project.

Installing

Currently, installation must be done by first building and then linking. My eventual goal is to release this utility on NPM.

npm run build
npm link

Usage

figma-export --help

Configuring

Any command line option that can be passed in to the CLI can also be picked up through environment variables (i.e. FIGMA_option=value) or through the presence of a figma-export.json file any where in the current directory hierarchy.

{
	"token": "foo",
	"directory": "C:/figma/projectA",
	"scale": 2,
	"format": "pdf"
}
