Usage

Creating your theme

The plugin gets it's info from the Local Styles. At this point it picks up:

  • colors
  • font-families
  • text-sizes
  • box-shadow
  • border-radius

Colors

Colors are taken from the Figma Local Paint Styles. Colors can be grouped in the export step. If you want to group codes,prefix them with the same name.

Font-families

The plugin will pick up all font-families used in the Local Text Styles.

Text-sizes

All the different font-sizes used in the Local Text Styles will be picked up by the plugin. Pick a base font-size and the rest of the font-size names are calculated accordingly. The logic used:

...
'3xs'
'2xs'
'xs'
'sm'
'base'
'lg'
'xl'
'2xl'
'3xl'
...

The font-sizes the plugin spits out will also be converted into a rem based scale.

Box-shadows

Taken from the effectStyles from your document.

Border-radius

Taken from the nodeStyles from your document.

Importing your theme

Import the theme.js file in to your tailwind.config.js configuration file to use it:

Require syntax

const myTheme = require(./theme);

the require syntax will make sure your custom values get picked up by the Intelligent Tailwind CSS plugin. If you want to use this syntax, remove the export default theme statement from your theme file

Import syntax

import 'myTheme' from './theme

Extending the default theme

You can extend the default theme like so:

module.exports = {
    theme: {
        extend: {
            colors: myTheme.colors
        }
    }
