PageNode

The page node is always a descendent of the DocumentNode. Most plugins only need to access the current page accessed via figma.currentPage.

Page properties

type: "PAGE" [readonly]

The type of this node, represented by the string literal "PAGE"

clone(): PageNode

Create a clone of this page, parented under figma.root. Prototyping connections will be copied such that they point to their equivalent in the cloned page. Components will be cloned as instances who master is the original component.

guides: ReadonlyArray<Guide>

The guides on this page. [Read more]

selection: ReadonlyArray<SceneNode>

The selected nodes on this page. Each page stores its own selection separately. The ordering of nodes in the selection is not guaranteed -- you should assume that it is random, like a Set<SceneNode>. [Read more]

selectedTextRange: { node: TextNode, start: number, end: number } | null

The current text node being edited, if any, and the text currently being selected within that text node. [Read more]

Base node properties

id: string [readonly]

An internal identifier for a node. Plugins typically don't need to use this since you can usually just access a node directly. [Read more]

parent: (BaseNode & ChildrenMixin) | null [readonly]

Returns the parent of this node, if any. This property is not meant to be directly edited. To reparent, see appendChild. [Read more]

removed: boolean [readonly]

Returns true if this node has been removed since it was first accessed. If your plugin stays open for a while and stores references to nodes, you should write your code defensively and check that the nodes haven't been removed by the user. [Read more]

name: string

The name of the layer that appears in the layers panel. This may update automatically for text layers. Returns the name of the current file on figma.root (read-only). [Read more]

toString(): string

Returns a string representation of the node. For debugging purposes only, do not rely on the exact output of this string in production code. [Read more]

remove(): void

Removes this node and all of its children from the document. [Read more]

getPluginData(key: string): string

Retrieves custom information that was stored on this node using setPluginData.

setPluginData(key: string, value: string): void

Lets you store custom information on any node, private to your plugin. [Read more]

getSharedPluginData(namespace: string, key: string): string

Retrieves custom information that was stored on this node using setSharedPluginData.

setSharedPluginData(namespace: string, key: string, value: string): void

Lets you store custom information on any node, public to all plugins. [Read more]

setRelaunchData(relaunchData: RelaunchData): void

Sets state on the node to show a button and description in the properties panel when the node is selected. Clears the button and description when relaunchData is {}. [Read more]

RelaunchData = { [command: string]: /* description */ string }
e.g. relaunchData = { myCommand: 'Short description' }

Scene node properties

visible: boolean

Whether the node is visible or not. Does not affect a plugin's ability to access the node. [Read more]

locked: boolean

Whether the node is locked or not, preventing certain user interactions on the canvas such as selecting and dragging. Does not affect a plugin's ability to write to those properties. [Read more]

Children-related properties

children: ReadonlyArray<SceneNode> [readonly]

The list of children, sorted back-to-front. That is, the first child in the array is the bottommost layer on the screen, and the last child in the array is the topmost layer. [Read more]

appendChild(child: SceneNode): void

Adds a new child to the end of the children array. That is, visually on top of all other children. [Read more]

insertChild(index: number, child: SceneNode): void

Adds a new child at the specified index in the children array. [Read more]

findChildren(callback?: (node: SceneNode) => boolean): ReadonlyArray<SceneNode>

Searches the immediate children of this node (i.e. not including the children's children). Returns all nodes for which callback returns true. [Read more]

findChild(callback: (node: SceneNode) => boolean): SceneNode | null

Searches the immediate children of this node (i.e. not including the children's children). Returns the first node for which callback returns true. [Read more]

findAll(callback?: (node: SceneNode) => boolean): ReadonlyArray<SceneNode>

Searches this entire subtree (this node's children, its children's children, etc). Returns all nodes for which callback returns true. [Read more]

findOne(callback: (node: SceneNode) => boolean): SceneNode | null

Searches this entire subtree (this node's children, its children's children, etc). Returns the first node for which callback returns true. [Read more]

Export-related properties

exportSettings: ReadonlyArray<ExportSettings>

List of export settings stored on the node. For help on how to change this value, see Editing Properties.

exportAsync(settings?: ExportSettings): Promise<Uint8Array>

Exports the node as an encoded image. [Read more]
