@open-pencil/kiwi

Scene-graph-agnostic Kiwi runtime utilities for OpenPencil.

This package owns pure Kiwi schema parsing, Figma Kiwi schema data, low-level Figma message encode/decode, raw fig-kiwi container helpers, and GUID formatting. Complete .fig archive parsing lives in @open-pencil/fig; SceneGraph integration remains outside this package.

Credits and licensing

The schema runtime is based on Kiwi, a schema-based binary format and JavaScript implementation by Evan Wallace. The original Kiwi implementation is copyright (c) 2016–2023 Evan Wallace and is licensed under the MIT License. OpenPencil's adapted runtime is distributed under the terms of that license; see NOTICE.

Package-local checks

cd packages/kiwi
bun run check

Package scripts:

• bun run test — package-local Bun tests for schema runtime, Figma schema guards, codec, container, parse, GUID, and variable bindings
• bun run typecheck — type-checks src, tests, and package scripts
• bun run build — builds the distributable dist entrypoints
• bun run smoke:dist — imports built output and exercises the public API
• bun run check — runs typecheck, tests, build, and dist smoke in sequence

Schema runtime

import { compileSchema, parseSchema, validateSchema } from '@open-pencil/kiwi/schema-runtime'

const schema = parseSchema(`
message Point {
  float x = 1;
  float y = 2;
}
`)

validateSchema(schema)
const codec = compileSchema(schema)
const bytes = codec.encodeMessage({ x: 12, y: 24 })
const point = codec.decodeMessage(bytes)

Figma Kiwi codec

import { createNodeChangesMessage, encodeMessage, initCodec } from '@open-pencil/kiwi/fig/codec'

await initCodec()

const message = createNodeChangesMessage(1, 1, [
  {
    guid: { sessionID: 1, localID: 1 },
    phase: 'CREATED',
    type: 'RECTANGLE',
    name: 'Card',
    size: { x: 320, y: 180 }
  }
])

const bytes = encodeMessage(message)

Boolean operation payloads use Figma's Kiwi enum names. SceneGraph EXCLUDE is a core-level concept and should be serialized as Kiwi XOR before calling the low-level codec.

FIG Kiwi containers

import { buildFigKiwi, parseFigKiwiChunks } from '@open-pencil/kiwi/fig/container'

const container = buildFigKiwi(new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3]))
const chunks = parseFigKiwiChunks(container)

Raw fig-kiwi payload decoding

import { decodeFigKiwiCanvas } from '@open-pencil/kiwi/fig/parse'

const decoded = decodeFigKiwiCanvas(canvasBytes)
console.log(decoded.nodeChanges.length, decoded.blobs.length)

Use parseFigBuffer() from @open-pencil/fig for complete zipped .fig files, including image resources. Use @open-pencil/core/io for conversion into an editable SceneGraph.

GUID helpers

import { guidToString, stringToGuid } from '@open-pencil/kiwi/fig/guid'

const id = guidToString({ sessionID: 1, localID: 42 })
const guid = stringToGuid('1:42')
