Figma-Tailwind

This is HTML/Tailwind components generator from Figma REST API (v.1)

How to use

  const text = await doFetchFigmaFile(figmaFileKey));

  const json = JSON.parse(text);

  const { nodes, meta } = normalizeInput(input);

  const root = buildTree({ nodes });

  const html = root.toHtml();

How it works.

Generator produces UI metadata specification as a set of HTML-like components, which are corresponding to each figma component (type COMPONENT-SET, COMPONENT and INSTANCE).

Generation starts from top-level nodes on each canvas, that have page- prefix in its names.

All stylings and layouts are transpiled into Tailwind classes.

Design Rules.

• Components MUST have unique name.
• frames and group could be turned into specific html tags id it is named with html- prefix, e.g. html-input.
• Graphics (type VECTOR) entities are not supported. Use icon- or svg- prefixes on some upper containers of them to produce stub HTML components instead of.
• Use ignore- name prefix to skip specific nodes
• Use stub- name prefix to generate placeholder without inner content.
