New

• You can now retrieve the author of a StampNode, with getAuthorAsync
• BASH is now a supported codeLanguage for CodeBlockNode
• A new absoluteBoundingBox property has been added to several nodes
• A new attachedConnectors property has been added to nodes that can have connectors

Bug fixes

Previously, stuckNodes were not marked readonly in the typings. It was a runtime error to try to set this property, and the typings now reflect this.

Breaking interface rename

LayerSublayerNode has been renamed to LabelSublayerNode. The previous name was a typo.

This release adds support for the component properties feature with new properties and functions on each of the following node types:

ComponentSetNode

• componentPropertyDefinitions
• addComponentProperty
• editComponentProperty
• deleteComponentProperty

ComponentNode (non-variants only)

• componentPropertyDefinitions
• addComponentProperty
• editComponentProperty
• deleteComponentProperty

SceneNode (must be a component sublayer and not nested within an instance node)

• componentPropertyReferences

InstanceNode

• componentProperties

The setProperties function on InstanceNode was also updated to work with component properties.

The variantGroupProperties property on ComponentSetNode is now deprecated. It will continue to the return the variant group properties but it is recommended to use the new componentPropertyDefinitions property.

The variantProperties property will continue to be supported on ComponentNode but is now deprecated on InstanceNodes. It will continue to return the variant properties on an instance but it is now recommended to the use the new componentProperties property.

This release adds support for the individual strokes feature with new properties for each side of a rectangle or frame-like node:

• strokeTopWeight
• strokeBottomWeight
• strokeLeftWeight
• strokeRightWeight

Assigning a value to the strokeWeight property will apply the same weight to all four sides.

New:

• Support for individual strokes
• Added figma.ungroup for ungrouping nodes, which is roughly equivalent to Ctrl-Shift-G/⌘⇧G in the editor.
• Added new autolayout properties:
  • layoutPositioning: Determines whether a layer's size and position should be determined by auto-layout settings or manually adjustable
  • strokesIncludedInLayout: Determines whether strokes are included in layout calculations
  • itemReverseZIndex: Determines the canvas stacking order of layers in this frame
• Updated autolayout properties:
  • counterAxisAlignItems: Added "BASELINE" option for aligning all children along the text baseline on horizontal auto-layout frames.
  • textAutoResize: Added "TRUNCATE" option for truncating overflowing text with an ellipse.

Fixes to the plugin typings:

• Add missing rotation property to ShapeWithTextNode and ConnectorNode
• Fix opacity and blendMode properties incorrectly marked as optional and readonly in CodeBlockNode, ConnectorNode, ShapeWithTextNode, and StickyNode.
• Add missing fills and fillStyleId properties to TextSublayerNode

New:

• New themeColors option in figma.showUI() to allow plugin UIs to support light and dark themes

New:

• Added new API method setWidgetSyncedState on widget nodes
• Added new API method findWidgetNodesByWidgetId to find all widget nodes by a specified node.widgetId

New:

• Added new CIRCLE_FILLED option to the ConnectorStrokeCap type.

New:

• New .stuckNodes and .stuckTo properties to read the nodes that are stuck on the reference node as well as the node current stuck to.
  • .stuckNodes is available on all SceneNode
  • .stuckTo is only available on “stickable” nodes (eg. StampNode, WidgetNode, HighlightNode)
• Added typings for HighlightNode and WashiTapeNode.

New:

• VectorRegions inside a VectorNetwork now have new fills and fillStyleId properties to let you get and set unique fills for each region in a vector network.

New:

• Added node.getStyledTextSegments for text nodes to make it much faster and easier to get text properties which may have mixed values, along with which characters these values apply to. Compared to retrieving text properties character-by-character, this new function can be 10x to 500x faster.
• Drop events in figma.on are now officially supported (was previously a proposed API). This new API allows you to register a callback for drop events, which will trigger when objects outside Figma (such as elements from other browser windows, or files from the local filesystem) are dropped onto the canvas.
• Added prototypeBackgrounds property to PageNode for configuring the background color of the prototype.
• Added figma.getFileThumbnailNode() and figma.setFileThumbnailNodeAsync(node) to get and set the thumbnail node for the current file.
• Added figma.base64Encode and figma.base64Decode to convert between base64-encoded strings and Uint8Arrays

New:

• Added figma.skipInvisibleInstanceChildren to make all node properties and methods skip over invisible nodes (and their descendants) inside instances. This can make operations like document traversal much faster.
• Added node.findAllWithCriteria for much faster document traversal when searching by node types. The return value is narrowly typed to match the provided types, which makes it much easier to use node-type-specific properties. For example, node.findAllWithCriteria({ types: ['TEXT'] }) will return TextNode[] instead of the more generic SceneNode[] from findAll.
• Added ability to enumerate plugin-data stored on a node:
  • node.getPluginDataKeys() Allows enumeration of plugin-data stored on a node
  • node.getSharedPluginDataKeys(namespace) Allows enumeration of shared plugin-data stored on a node in a given namespace
• Style objects now support all plugin-data functionality
• New functionality for the clientStorage API
  • deleteAsync allows deleting stored data
  • keysAsync allows enumerating all stored data
• node.getRelaunchData allows reading what relaunch data was stored using node.setRelaunchData
