#figma2css-app

Attention

this project is in a very early stage, a lot of things need to be improved, issues are welcome :D

Use cases

This is very usefull for components or pages that babely change between projects, so you don't have to change the styles everytime you just need to map them and generate the css

We found that a mixture of generating automacally and also including your own css is the best approach in most cases

We're currently working in the css transformation itself to make it more efficient and precise

##How to use it

npm i -g figma2css-app
figma2css-app

open your browser in port 5000

Figma Access token:

how to get an access token: https://www.figma.com/developers/api#access-tokens

File id*

you can get it in the file url e.g: https://www.figma.com/file/acuAbVNviSzackLyfNNBaM/<......>

acuAbVNviSzackLyfNNBaM is the fileId of this url

Full Output Path

you can put the output path of the generated css file e.g:

/home/mmc/my-project/css/figma-generated-css.css

if you're running watch mode everytime that the figma file change this file will be changed too :smile:

Click load Data to load the treeview with all the figma elements

Choose the elements that you want to extract the css from, you should also change the name of the element in the design to the name of your css class, we plan to change this in the future so you've more freedom to choose the name of the class, but for now this is the best approach

Then click generate css to generate the css once or Watch to watch the figma file and generate the css everytime the figma file changes

and that's it enjoy
