Anima SDK For Figma Design Conversion

v20260423
anima-install-auth
This guide details how to install and configure the Anima SDK for robust Figma-to-code generation. It is essential for developers setting up design-to-code automation pipelines, requiring configuration of both Anima and Figma API tokens. The SDK enables converting designs into production-ready React, Vue, or HTML components with Tailwind, MUI, or AntD styling.

Overview

Anima Install & Auth

Overview

Install @animaapp/anima-sdk and configure authentication tokens. Anima converts Figma designs into production-ready React, Vue, or HTML code with Tailwind, MUI, AntD, or shadcn styling. The SDK runs server-side only.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+ (SDK is server-side only)
  • Figma account with API access
  • Anima API token (request at animaapp.com)
  • Figma Personal Access Token

Instructions

Step 1: Install the Anima SDK

npm install @animaapp/anima-sdk

Step 2: Get Your Tokens

# 1. Figma Personal Access Token:
#    Figma > Settings > Account > Personal Access Tokens > Generate

# 2. Anima API Token:
#    Request from Anima team (currently limited partner access)
#    https://docs.animaapp.com/docs/anima-api

# Store securely
cat > .env << 'EOF'
ANIMA_TOKEN=your-anima-api-token
FIGMA_TOKEN=your-figma-personal-access-token
EOF

echo ".env" >> .gitignore
chmod 600 .env

Step 3: Initialize and Verify

// src/anima-client.ts
import { Anima } from '@animaapp/anima-sdk';

const anima = new Anima({
  auth: {
    token: process.env.ANIMA_TOKEN!,
  },
});

// Verify connection by generating code from a known Figma file
async function verifySetup() {
  try {
    const { files } = await anima.generateCode({
      fileKey: 'your-figma-file-key',     // From Figma URL: figma.com/file/{fileKey}/...
      figmaToken: process.env.FIGMA_TOKEN!,
      nodesId: ['1:2'],                    // Specific node to convert
      settings: {
        language: 'typescript',
        framework: 'react',
        styling: 'tailwind',
      },
    });

    console.log(`Generated ${files.length} files`);
    for (const file of files) {
      console.log(`  ${file.fileName} (${file.content.length} chars)`);
    }
    return true;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Setup verification failed:', error);
    return false;
  }
}

verifySetup();

Step 4: Get Your Figma File Key

Figma URL format:
https://www.figma.com/file/ABC123xyz/My-Design?node-id=1:2

File Key: ABC123xyz
Node ID: 1:2 (from the URL query parameter)

Output

  • @animaapp/anima-sdk installed
  • Anima token and Figma token configured in .env
  • Verified code generation from a Figma design
  • Understanding of file key and node ID extraction

Error Handling

Error Cause Solution
Invalid Anima token Token not provisioned Request token from Anima team
Invalid Figma token PAT expired or wrong Generate new PAT in Figma Settings
File not found Wrong file key Extract key from Figma URL correctly
Node not found Invalid node ID Use Figma Dev Mode to get node IDs
SDK not for browser Used in client-side code SDK is server-side only
