Create a Figma plugin
Closed this issue · 7 comments
Once we have some icons established it would be handy to have a Figma plugin that hosts these icons similar to Material Designs plugin.
I'm working on it
@AaronDewes thank you for taking this on. Let me know if you need help (coding or testing).
Made some progress, the code is available here: https://github.com/AaronDewes/figma-bitcoin-icons
Still need to improve the way the icons are inserted, everything else seems to work.
Just tested it, works great. Thank you again.
Looks like you import a module called @runcitadel/bitcoin-icons-svg. Was there a specific reason for creating it? Since you use React, I'm wondering if we can switch to the "official" React module?
Another thought is more about workflow. When I set up icons for a Figma file, I typically create them as components with variants. I wonder if the plugin should/could do this as well? So when you add an icon, it would place the outline and filled icons on the screen as one component with 2 variants. Really not sure how others work, so maybe this is something that could be added in the future if people ask for it.
What is the issue you are seeing with icon insertion and stroke widths?
@runcitadel/bitcoin-icons-svg is PR #87 published on npm.
To insert the icons into Figma, I need the raw svg data as a string, not React components, so it needs a new package.

I'll try to get that working, thanks for the suggestion.
Following up on this stale thread, and closing it. The plugin is live and already has 2K downloads. Thank you again for putting it together, Aaron.
