Introducing FigJam Plugins for public beta! We're introducing a number of APIs and events to enable plugin development in FigJam.

New:

editorType is now required in manifests. Specifying an editorType will control the APIs your plugin has access to in each editor, and whether your plugin shows up in Figma Design or FigJam (or both).
figma.editorType: returns either figma or figjam and enables you to have conditional logic in your plugin depending on the editor it’s run in.

FigJam Plugins only:

Timer support with figma.timer object
StickyNode type. Create a StickyNode with createSticky
ConnectorNode type. Create a ConnectorNode with createConnector
ShapeWithTextNode type. Create a ShapeWithTextNode with createShapeWithText
StampNode type.
UI addition: In FigJam relaunch buttons are shown in the in-line property menu of a node.
UI addition: We added all of the same plugin menus that you have in Figma (e.g. right-click menu, top-left menu, quick actions)
