Version 1, Update 82

This update includes changes to the Variables API to support binding variables to effects, layout grids, stroke weights, and layer opacity. We are also releasing support to run Dev Mode plugins in the Figma for VS Code extension.

Changes to the Variables API:

• FLOAT and COLOR variables can be bound to Effects via the setBoundVariablesForEffect() helper.
• FLOAT variables can be bound to LayoutGrids via the setBoundVariablesForLayoutGrid() helper.
• New VariableBindableNodeField types, FLOAT variables can be bound to layer opacity, stroke weights, and individual stroke weights.
• New VariableScope types for scoping variables to layer opacity, stroke weights, and effects.

Dev Mode plugins can now run in the Figma for VS Code extension with some minor manifest and code changes:

• manifest.json changes - added new vscode capability
• figma.vscode - this new namespace allows the plugin to determine whether it's running in the VS Code Extension or not.
• figma.openExternal - this API enables opening a URL externally and is necessary to use in the VS Code Extension.
• See all of the details in Dev Mode Plugins in VS Code

Fixes:

• fillGeometry and strokeGeometry properties are correctly marked as readonly
