Figma Plugin API Typings

Because Figma plugin typings are installed in ./node_modules/@figma rather than the standard ./node_modules/@types directory, you must update your tsconfig.json to include the @figma path in typeRoots. This ensures the TypeScript compiler can locate the definitions. Once configured, the Figma API types will be globally available without requiring explicit import statements, reflecting how the API exists in the Figma host environment.

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "typeRoots": [
            "./node_modules/@types",
            "./node_modules/@figma"
        ]
    }
}

Install the Figma Plugin API typings as a development dependency using npm or yarn to enable TypeScript support for Figma plugin development.

npm i --save-dev @figma/plugin-typings
# or
yarn add -D @figma/plugin-typings
