Figwrapper

About

Figwrapper is a script that integrates the Figma design tool (web version) generated by nativefier into a complete, fully integrated application with local font support for Linux. It uses the Electron wrapper generated, which is further customized, to behave like a proper Linux app.

Why

Convenience and local system font support. Because I use Figma as my main design tool and I'm a Linux user, I wanted a full Linux integration and automated install. Figwrapper offers improvement over the generated nativefier files, transforms it into a full, proper Linux application, allows for a quicker workflow due to it's full Linux integration, with proper Linux standard file system paths, system-wide icon and executable binary, proper .desktop and local font support.

How

You can manipulate it the way you want through terminal commands, scripts, dmenu/rofi calls, etc and with your WM of choice as well. Local fonts support is possible thanks to Vin's work. A systray funcionality/icon is also possible, but currently there is no feature planned for it, therefore it's disabled by default.

It behaves exactly as if you had installed it through your distro's package manager.

Key Features

• Full Linux integration.
• Includes a Font Linux Helper for local fonts support.

Requirements

• Internet connection.
• git
• git-lfs
• python3, python-pip or python-pip3 (depends on your distro).
• python-jinja
• flask through pip3, usually something like pip3 install flask.

Install

Don't download the Zip file from the repo, it will not download the main binary since it's stored through Git LFS, you need to clone the repo through git. Git LFS is required. Install it through your distro and initialize it with git lfs install inside the directory that you want to download the project to. Usually something like sudo packagemanager install git-lfs.

git lfs install
git clone https://github.com/cristianovitorino/figwrapper.git
cd figwrapper
chmod u+x InstallFigwrapper.sh
sh ./InstallFigwrapper.sh

Uninstall

chmod u+x UninstallFigwrapper.sh
