figma.js package deprecated

[cgatian]

Looks like the core is using a now deprecated library figma-js

figma-export/packages/core/package.json

Line 29 in bf7d8b9

"figma-js": "~1.16.0",

Seems like the best alternatives are:

1. https://github.com/didoo/figma-api
2. Use the Rest API Spec directly with fetch.

Hi @cgatian, thanks a lot for the feedback! I was already planning to move away from figma-js due to its use of an outdated axios version. I wasn't aware of the deprecation, so thanks for the notification.

I would go with fetch + Figma rest API types given that even figma-api v2 beta still uses axios.
I addition to this I would like to add support to corporate proxy as mentioned #152.

I agree. Lmk if you're open to PRs

[marcomontalbano]

I’m always open to PRs, thanks for your interest!
I found some old stashed changes related to this feature from when I was experimenting with it. They’re still a work in progress, but I might pick up that work again. I’ll let you know if they cover what’s needed.

Hi @cgatian, I just released the v6.2.0-beta.0 which contains this improvement.

[cgatian]

Oooh nice. I'll take a look tomorrow.

I want to get the description and doc link content back. I was thinking when we parse a component we could return a _raw prop to let devs access everything in the node.

[marcomontalbano]

Are you referring to #173? I'll take a look a that. This year, I’d like to focus more on Figma Export.

Hi @cgatian, I released the v6.2.0 which contains this fix and the ability to get description and doc links from the component.
