Here at Microsoft we ❤️ Figma. We use it for everything and anything. So much so, we thought why not use it to actually implement our user interfaces? Sounds crazy enough to work. Let's give this a go.
FigmaSharp turns your Figma design into .NET objects and can generate code and layout files to create native apps. Free and Open Source software under the MIT LICENSE.
We recommend reading through the Wiki to get a sense of the FigmaSharp workflow.
To get documents from figma.com you'll need to generate a Personal Access Token. Sign in to Figma and in the main menu, go to Help and Account → Account Settings and select Create new token. This will be your only chance to copy the token, so make sure you keep a copy in a secure place.
