# figmex

Generate development-ready theme JSON / SCSS/ LESS files from Figma Styles

- Parse [Styles][] from a Figma file ID
- Works with [Styled System][] and other CSS-in-JS setups
- Generetes JSON, ans css compactible with different preprocessors (scss, less, etc.)
- Built with [figma-api][]

```sh
npm i figmex
```

## Getting Started

1. Install `figmex` as a dev dependency in your project
2. Get a [personal access token][token] for the Figma API
3. Create a `.env` file with your access token
- `FIGMA_TOKEN=`
- Alternatively add an environment variable for `FIGMA_TOKEN`
4. Add an npm run script: `figmex ` (see params for output)
5. Run the script to create a `theme.json` and styles file based on Figma Styles

Now `figmex` can export styles from files in strict format, for example please check: https://www.figma.com/file/Z4RWc6X1BN5UlM6myQtt1d/tokens-Copy?node-id=0%3A1 make sure that page and artboard names are the same.
In further releases I will add support to export from figma project styles.

## Options

Options can be passed as CLI flags or included in a `figmex` object in your `package.json`

- `--out-dir`, `-d`: output directory (default current working directory), default './styles'
- `--format`, `-f`: include additional metadata from the Figma API, default 'less'
- `--metadata`: include additional metadata from the Figma API
