StampNode
Stamps are nodes that are inserted by users into the canvas via the Stamp Wheel. Use the stamp's name property to tell what type of stamp it is. When created it will be one of:

Stamp properties
type: 'STAMP' [readonly]
The type of this node, represented by the string literal "STAMP"
clone(): StampNode
Duplicates the node. By default, the duplicate will be parented under figma.currentPage.
getAuthorAsync(): Promise<BaseUser | null>
Fetches the name, id, and photoUrl of the user that created the Stamp. Note that this can return null if the stamp was created before July 2022 or if the user is currently not connected to the internet.
fileusers must be specified in the permissions array in manifest.json to access this function.
Base node properties
id: string [readonly]
The unique identifier of a node. For example, 1:3. The node id can be used with methods such as figma.getNodeByIdAsync, but plugins typically don't need to use this since you can usually just access a node directly.
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.
name: string
The name of the layer that appears in the layers panel. Calling figma.root.name will return the name, read-only, of the current file.
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.
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.
remove(): void
Removes this node and all of its children from the document.
setRelaunchData(data: { [command: string]: string }): void
Sets state on the node to show a button and description when the node is selected. Clears the button and description when relaunchData is {}.
In Figma and Dev Mode, this shows up in the properties panel. In FigJam, this shows up in the property menu. See here for examples.
getRelaunchData(): { [command: string]: string }
Retreives the reluanch data stored on this node using setRelaunchData
isAsset: boolean [readonly]
Returns true if Figma detects that a node is an asset, otherwise returns false. An asset is is either an icon or a raster image.
This property is useful if you're building a plugin for code generation.
This property uses a set of heuristics to determine if a node is an asset. At a high level an icon is a small vector graphic and an image is a node with an image fill.
getCSSAsync(): Promise<{ [key: string]: string }>
Resolves to a JSON object of CSS properties of the node. This is the same CSS that Figma shows in the inspect panel and is helpful if you are building a plugin for code generation.
getTopLevelFrame(): FrameNode | undefined
Returns the top-most frame that contains this node. If the node is not inside a frame, this will return undefined.
This function will only work in Figma Design and will throw an error if called in FigJam or Slides.
Plugin data properties
getPluginData(key: string): string
Retrieves custom information that was stored on this node or style using setPluginData. If there is no data stored for the provided key, an empty string is returned.
setPluginData(key: string, value: string): void
Lets you store custom information on any node or style, private to your plugin. The total size of your entry (pluginId, key, value) cannot exceed 100 kB.
getPluginDataKeys(): string[]
Retrieves a list of all keys stored on this node or style using using setPluginData. This enables iterating through all data stored privately on a node or style by your plugin.
getSharedPluginData(namespace: string, key: string): string
Retrieves custom information that was stored on this node or style using setSharedPluginData. If there is no data stored for the provided namespace and key, an empty string is returned.
setSharedPluginData(namespace: string, key: string, value: string): void
Lets you store custom information on any node or style, public to all plugins. The total size of your entry (namespace, key, value) cannot exceed 100 kB.
getSharedPluginDataKeys(namespace: string): string[]
Retrieves a list of all keys stored on this node or style using setSharedPluginData. This enables iterating through all data stored in a given namespace.
Dev resource properties
getDevResourcesAsync(options?: { includeChildren: boolean }): Promise<DevResourceWithNodeId[]>
Gets all of the dev resources on a node. This includes any inherited dev resources from components and component sets.
addDevResourceAsync(url: string, name?: string): Promise<void>
Adds a dev resource to a node. This will fail if the node already has a dev resource with the same url.
editDevResourceAsync(currentUrl: string, newValue: { name: string; url: string }): Promise<void>
Edits a dev resource on a node. This will fail if the node does not have a dev resource with the same url.
deleteDevResourceAsync(url: string): Promise<void>
Deletes a dev resource on a node. This will fail if the node does not have a dev resource with the same url.
setDevResourcePreviewAsync(url: string, preview: PlainTextElement): Promise<void>
This is a private API only available to Figma partners
Scene node properties
visible: boolean

Locks the node's targetAspectRatio to the current ratio of its width and height.
unlockAspectRatio(): void
Unlocks the node's targetAspectRatio.
