code-connect-best-practice

To map Figma properties to React components, use Code Connect functions like figma.enum(), figma.boolean(), and figma.string() to link design properties directly to your component props. This ensures seamless integration between design and development.

Direct properties apply to the main component instance, while nested properties belong to child instances within the component. Use figma.nestedProps() to accurately map nested properties and ensure correct structure in your React code.

Common Figma Code Connect mapping mistakes include misusing figma.string() for text layers instead of figma.textContent(), and using incorrect property name formatting. Following established best practices helps avoid these integration pitfalls.

For multi-variant React components in Figma Code Connect, apply best practices for property mapping to ensure robust mappings. Correctly map enums and booleans to accurately reflect the component's properties and structural variations.

Use figma.children() to map the children passed into a React component, and use figma.instance() to map specific nested component instances. Choosing the correct function ensures the design structure accurately reflects the code.
