Rigma
The goal of Rigma is to provide a user friendly client to Figma API.
Installation
You can install the development version of Rigma from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("AleKoure/Rigma")
Getting started
An account can be accessed using an API by the owner of a personal access token just as if they were the user who created the token.
Make your own access token.
- Open your Figma account and log in.
- From the top-left menu in Figma, select Account Settings.
- Locate the section on personal access tokens.
- Select New Token by clicking.
- There will be a token created. This will be your last opportunity to copy the token, so be careful to store a copy of it safely.
When you retrieve the personal access token save it as an environmental
variable (e.g. edit .Renviron
by typing usethis::edir_r_environ()
).
FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN="YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_GOES_HERE!!!"
After saving your changes restart R session.
Example
Open Figma and navigate to your favorite file. In the URL you can see the key of the file. To retrieve the File as an R object execute:
example_file_key <- "sFHgQh9dL6369o5wrZHmdR"
get_file(example_file_key)
A tree of nodes is used to represent the Figma file. Every file has a DOCUMENT node at the root, and any CANVAS nodes branch out of that node.
