Config example:

// @ts-check
const { screens } = require('./theme/screens');
 
function getTextStyleName(name) {
  // format name from like "Heading / bs-h200 - 80 b" to "bs-h200"

  const splitRightPart = splitLeftPart?.[splitLeftPart?.length - 1]

  return splitRightPart || '';
}
 
const iconNaming = originalName => {

  apiKey: 'xxxxxx', // your Figma api access key
  fileId: 'xxxxxx', // Figma file id
  styles: {
    exportPath: './theme',
    colors: {

      merge: true, // or false - it allows merging text styles for different screen sizes to a single style
    },
  },

    generateSprite: true,
    generateTypes: true,
    localIcons: false,
  },
  screens: {
    bs: 0,
    ...screens,
  },
};
/theme/screens.js
const screens = {
  sm: '600px',
  md: '979px',
  lg: '1200px',
  xl: '1600px',
};
 
module.exports = { screens };

Merging of text styles

The ability to merge text styles by the name's suffix.

Each suffix is one of the defined screen sizes.

Example:

for config:

figma-extractor.config.js
module.exports = {
  ...
  styles: {
    exportPath: './theme',
    textStyles: {
      ...,
      merge: true,
    },
    ...
  },
  screen: {
    bs: 0, // This is the base screen (default)
    sm: 600,
    md: 900,
    lg: 1200,
  },
  ...
};

Styles like:

- heading/h500 - bs => {fontSize: 12px}
- heading/h500 - sm => {fontSize: 14px}
- heading/h500 - md => {fontSize: 16px}
- heading/h500 - lg => {fontSize: 20px}

will be transformed:

text-styles.js
"heading/h500": {
  fontSize: '12px',
  '@media (min-width: 600): {
    fontSize: '14px',
  },
  '@media (min-width: 900): {
    fontSize: '16px',
  },
  '@media (min-width: 1200): {
    fontSize: '20px',
  },
}

Themes for colors and effects

If the colors or effects field has useTheme: true then CLI will look for allowed themes and creates colors or effects according to such themes.

  • allowedThemes - list of the allowed themes. By only these themes, it will be generated particular files.
  • defaultTheme - one of the allowed themes. Default variables for CSS variables will be taken from this theme.

Example:

for config:

figma-extractor.config.js
module.exports = {
  ...
  allowedThemes: ['light','dark','blue'],
  defaultTheme: 'blue',
  styles: {
    exportPath: './theme',
    colors: {
      ...,
      useTheme: true,
    },
    ...
  },
  ...
};

The CLI will generate such files:

/ui/theme/themes-list.ts
export const DEFAULT_THEME = 'blue';
 
export const THEMES = ['light', 'dark', 'blue'];
 
export type Theme = typeof THEMES[number];
/ui/theme/colors/dark/index.js
module.exports = {
    "text-txt600":"#000000",
    "text-txt700":"#000000",
    "text-txt800":"#000000",
    "text-txt900":"#000000",
};
/ui/theme/colors/light/index.js
module.exports = {
    "text-txt600":"#ffffff",
    "text-txt700":"#ffffff",
    "text-txt800":"#ffffff",
    "text-txt900":"#ffffff",
};
/ui/theme/colors/blue/index.js
module.exports = {
    "text-txt600":"#0000ff",
};
/ui/theme/colors/index.js
module.exports = {
    "text-txt600":"#0000ff", // it will be taken from a default theme if it is defined for a specific color
    "text-txt700":"",
    "text-txt800":"",
    "text-txt900":"",
};
/ui/theme/colors/with-vars.js
module.exports = {
    "text-txt600":"var(--sh-text-txt600,'#0000ff')", // it will be taken from a default theme if it is defined for a specific color
    "text-txt700":"var(--sh-text-txt700,'')",
    "text-txt800":"var(--sh-text-txt800,'')",
    "text-txt900":"var(--sh-text-txt900,'')",
};
/ui/theme/colors/dark/vars.css
[data-theme='dark'] {
    --sh-text-txt600: #000000;
    --sh-text-txt700: #000000;
    --sh-text-txt800: #000000;
    --sh-text-txt900: #000000;
}
/ui/theme/colors/light/vars.css
[data-theme='light'] {
    --sh-text-txt600: #ffffff;
    --sh-text-txt700: #ffffff;
    --sh-text-txt800: #ffffff;
    --sh-text-txt900: #ffffff;
}
/ui/theme/colors/blue/vars.css
[data-theme='blue'] {
    --sh-text-txt600: #0000ff;
}
/ui/theme/colors/vars.css
/* from blue theme due to it is a default theme */
:root {
    --sh-text-txt600: #ff00ff;
    --sh-text-txt700: '';
    --sh-text-txt800: '';
    --sh-text-txt900: '';
}

Also, the same files will be generated for useTheme inside effects section.
