Introduction

The Figma plugin is a tool developed using web technologies that operates in a sandboxed environment to ensure optimal security and performance.

The plugin's primary functionality is the precise extraction and processing of graphic elements from design frameworks.

Core Technology Stack:

  • React (v19.0.0): Core library for building user interfaces.
  • Tailwind CSS (v4.1.0): Modern CSS utility framework for styling.
  • Node.js (v22.15.0): Server-side runtime environment.
  • shadcn/ui: Reusable and accessible components.
  • Vite (v5.0): High-performance build tool for modern web development.

As shown in the list above, several libraries are shared between the Figma Plugin and the Web App. This overlap is beneficial as it allows for component reuse across both projects. Furthermore, using a common technology stack enhances code readability and consistency.
