CLI for PonyUI Assets Export

PonyUI Assets Export helps developers to export assets from Figma to local dev workspace! FAST and FREE!

✨ Save your time - Configure what should be exported inside Figma with our Figma plugin and export all assets with a single command.

📤 Simplified asset export - No more repetitive steps for each file like save file to disk, rename and copy to source folder.

⚛️ Automated React icons - Generate React icon classes automatically, no more copy-pasting code to/from SVGR.

💻 Directly in your Local Workspace - our CLI tool will get all configured assets from your Figma file and save them in your source folder.

Functionality

• You can export to png, jpg or svg files
• You can ask PonyUI Assets Export to export png and jpg assets with any scale ratio
• If you used SVGR to create React icon components from SVG files, PonyUI Assets Export will now do it for you.
• You can export any Figma node, doesn't matter what's inside. So you can compose different elements and export it as a single asset.
• Eslint and prettier supported for React icon components
• PonyUI Assets Export will remember exported nodes, so you always know if a particular node is already exported in your source code and where to find it.
• Inside the developer workspace you can configure different default folders for different types of assets.
• And you can specify a custom folder for any special asset if you need it.
• You can import all configured assets at once or a single asset by its id.
