A composed color preserves the relationship between a color and a separately authored opacity value or variable instead of using a flat RGBA value. Plugins can now read and create composed color variables using VariableComposedColor. The new COLOR_OPACITY variable scope limits float variables to only show in color opacity pickers.
See Authoring a composed color variable for a complete example.
The Plugin API now supports variable fonts. Reading FontName on a variable font includes variationSettings with every OpenType axis the family defines. Pass those values when setting a font to override specific axes; omitted axes keep the named instance's defaults.
You can omit style when loading or applying a font. loadFontAsync({ family }) loads every style of the family. Setting a font without style lets Figma pick the named instance that best matches variationSettings.
FontVariationSettings: Axis values keyed by 4-character OpenType tag, for example { wght: 550, slnt: -10 }.FontNameInput: A font to apply where style is optional. Reads always return a fully populated FontName.figma.getFontFamilyVariationAxes(family): Returns the axis tags a variable font family exposes, or null for a static family.FontName: Added optional variationSettings. Present when reading a variable font; omitted for static fonts.fontName: Includes variationSettings when reading a variable font. Accepts FontNameInput when writing.loadFontAsync(): Accepts FontNameInput. Omitting style loads every style of the family.setRangeFontName(): Accepts FontNameInput, including variationSettings and an omitted style.primaryAxisAlignItems now supports 'SPACE_EVENLY' and 'SPACE_AROUND' alignment. 'SPACE_EVENLY' distributes children with equal gaps before the first child, in between each pair of children, and after the last child. 'SPACE_AROUND' distributes children with equal gaps between each pair of children, and half that gap before the first and after the last child.
primaryAxisAlignItems: Added 'SPACE_EVENLY' and 'SPACE_AROUND' as new primary axis alignment values.getCSSAsyncRestored BaseNodeMixin.getCSSAsync to the public Plugin API type definitions. The method remained available at runtime; it had been unintentionally omitted from the generated typings.
This release includes type definition maintenance with no changes to the public Plugin API or runtime behavior.
textWrapStyle is a new paragraph-level property on TextNode that controls how text wraps within each paragraph. Pair it with getRangeTextWrapStyle and setRangeTextWrapStyle to get and set the value on character ranges, and read or write it via TextStyle to apply it across a saved text style.
TextWrapStyle: 'AUTO' (default), 'BALANCE' (equalized line lengths), or 'PRETTY' (fewer orphaned words).NonResizableTextMixin.textWrapStyle: Get or set the wrap style for the whole text node. Requires the font to be loaded.NonResizableTextMixin.getRangeTextWrapStyle: Get the wrap style for a paragraph range.NonResizableTextMixin.setRangeTextWrapStyle: Set the wrap style for a paragraph range. Requires the font to be loaded.TextStyle.textWrapStyle: Read or write the wrap style on a text style.The Plugin API now supports creating and editing variables with the new "EASING" and "TIMING" resolved data types. Easing variables use MotionEasing values, and timing variables use numbers representing seconds.
The new figma.motion.playheadPosition property returns the current playhead position of the active Motion timeline in seconds. It returns undefined when there is no active Motion timeline in the editor.
exportAsync can now export a top-level frame with animated content as video. Pass one of the new export settings types to receive a Uint8Array of the encoded file. Video export is only available when running in Figma.
ExportSettingsMP4: Export an animated top-level frame as an MP4. Supports fps, a quality preset, and a size constraint.ExportSettingsGIF: Export an animated top-level frame as a GIF. Supports fps, loopCount, and a size constraint.ExportSettingsWEBM: Export an animated top-level frame as a WebM. Supports fps, a quality preset, and a size constraint.exportAsync(): Added an overload accepting ExportSettingsMP4 | ExportSettingsGIF | ExportSettingsWEBM.You can now use the Plugin API to read and update Motion animation data, including animation styles, timelines, animations, and manual keyframe tracks.
figma.motion.figmaAnimationStyles(): Read the Motion animation styles available in a file.figma.motion.physicalSpringToNormalized(): Convert physical spring parameters to Motion's normalized bounce value from 0 to 1.applyAnimationStyle: Apply a Motion animation style to a node.removeAnimationStyle: Remove an applied Motion animation style from a node.applyManualKeyframeTrack: Apply or replace a manual Motion keyframe track on a node.removeManualKeyframeTrack: Remove a manual Motion keyframe track from a node.setTimelineDuration: Update the duration of a Motion timeline.animationStyles: Read the Motion animation styles currently applied to a node.animations: Read all Motion animation keyframes on a node, including keyframes created by animation styles and manual keyframe tracks.manualKeyframeTracks: Read the manual Motion keyframe tracks bound to a node.timelines: Read the Motion timelines that contain a node.You can now use the Plugin API to discover, import, and apply shaders.
figma.listAvailableShaders(): List every shader available to the current file — shaders already in the file, shaders from subscribed libraries, and the user's owned shaders.figma.importShaderById(): Materialize a shader into the current file so it can be applied.Shader, ShaderPropertyDefinition, and ShaderPropertyValue describe a shader and its configurable properties.ShaderEffect and ShaderPaint are new { type: 'SHADER' } members of the Effect and Paint unions. Apply a shader by setting one of these on a node's effects, fills, or strokes, and configure it through the properties map.
