figma-export-icons

Command line script to export and download Astro's icons from a Figma file using the Figma REST api.

Description

Running the script will bring up a wizard to fill in the config for fetching the assets. You can also provide the icons-config.json yourself, then the wizard is skipped. After the config is provided, the figma file is fetched and parsed to find the icons frame, the files are downloaded and put locally in the directory provided in the config.

example config file:

{
 "figmaPersonalToken": "YOUR_PERSONAL_TOKEN",
 "fileId": "FILE_ID",
 "page": "Identity",
 "frame": "Icons",
 "iconsPath": "assets/svg/icons",
 "metaPath": "assets/svg/icons",
 "removeFromName": "Icon="
}

Features

• Wizard to generate config, you will be prompted for any missing key
• icons-config.json is automatically added to .gitignore if it exists
• Directory to save the icons is created if it doesn't exist
• Icons are deleted from local directory when fetching new
• Icons with the same name are marked with ${iconName}-duplicate-name.svg so you can easily spot them and fix figma file
• Running the script with -c will clear the config and run the wizard again
• You can use a custom path to your configuration file with --config=path/to/config.json
• frame can be a path if your icons are nested, e.g. frame="Atoms/icons"
