Methods

Method	Parameters	Description	Return value
bot.start()		Starts the bot.	Promise<void>
bot.stop()		Stops the bot.	Promise<void>
bot.creatProject(projectName, teamId)	- projectName string (required) - teamId string (required)	Creates a project with name projectName in team with id teamId.	Promise<string> - a promise which resolves with the new project id
bot.creatFile(fileName, projectId)	- fileName string (required), - projectId string (required)	Creates a file with name fileName in project with id projectId.	Promise<string> - a promise which resolves with the new file id
bot.renameFile(fileId, newName)	- fileId string (required) - newName string (required)	Renames a file with id fileId to newName.	Promise<void>
bot.renameProject(projectId, newName)	- projectId string (required) - newName string (required)	Renames a project with id project to newName.	Promise<void>

You can find your team id in the team's page URL between 'team' and your team name, e.g. for team page URL https://www.figma.com/files/team/000000000000000001/MyTeamName team id is 000000000000000001. Same for project and file ids:

• https://www.figma.com/files/project/00000001/MyProjectName - project id is 00000001;
• https://www.figma.com/file/a1b2c3d4e5f6G7H8I9J10K/MyFileName - file id is a1b2c3d4e5f6G7H8I9J10K.

CookiesProvider

FigmaBot's cookiesProvider property is an instance of the following interface:

export interface CookiesProvider {
  getCookies: () => Promise<any>;
  setCookies: (cookies: any) => Promise<void>;
}

CookiesProvider allows saving and loading Figma account authorization cookies. If cookiesProvider parameter not passed to FigmaBot's constructor, cookies are not saved and authorization is performed every new session.

FSCookiesProvider

A simple example of CookiesProvider is FSCookiesProvider class which implements CookiesProvider interface and uses fs module to save cookies to json file and load cookies from the file.

import { FSCookiesProvider } from '@proscom/figma-bot';

const cookiesProvider = new FSCookiesProvider(path);

Constructor parameters:

• path string: path to json file which contains cookies.

Example

An example code that creates a simple Figma bot, uses FSCookiesProvider as cookiesProvider and creates project "My project" and file "My file":

const { FigmaBot, FSCookiesProvider } = require('./lib');

const bot = new FigmaBot({
  authData: {
    email: 'your figma email',
    password: 'your figma password'
  },
  cookiesProvider: new FSCookiesProvider()
});

(async () => {
  try {
    await bot.start();
    const projectId = await bot.createProject('My project', 'your team id');
    const fileId = await bot.createFile('My file', projectId);
    console.log('"My project" id is "' + projectId + '", "My file" id is "' + fileId + '".');
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
  }
  await bot.stop();
})();
