Forgive my ignorance, not super familiar with Figma plugins.

I don't unterstand how to run this plugin.

  1. Installed the plugin
  2. Plugin is listed on manage plugins
  3. Plugin is not listed anywhere else in Figma as far as I have seen.
  4. x Don't get how to display the Figma To Code window as displayed in introduction video in the readme

Alternate path:

  1. Checked out the repo
  2. npm install, npm run build, npm run start
  3. working local server with a web ui similar to the Figma To Code window at localhost:5000
  4. x No connection to Figma whatsoever.

I have the feeling I'm missing something super obvious here. :)

Appreciate your help/feedback!

Hey. If you installed it, it should work just like any other plugin. Open a project, right click in the canvas, look for plugins (should be one of the last options) and there it shows the list.

You can see here for better instructions:

Does that help?

Yes, it does! Thank you so much!

Users with Edit access to a File can run a plugin in that File.

The key was, that I was trying to run this in a file where I did not have edit rights. When I create a file of my own, everything works as expected. Awesome.
