Next, install TypeScript using the command:
npm install -g typescript
Finally, in the directory of your plugin, get the latest type definitions for the plugin API by running:
npm install --save-dev @figma/plugin-typings
We recommend writing TypeScript code using Visual Studio code:
- Download Visual Studio Code if you haven't already: https://code.visualstudio.com/.
- Open this directory in Visual Studio Code.
- Compile TypeScript to JavaScript: Run the "Terminal > Run Build Task..." menu item, then select "npm: watch". You will have to do this again every time you reopen Visual Studio Code.
That's it! Visual Studio Code will regenerate the JavaScript file every time you save.
