Button System

You are building a complete button component system in Figma. Follow every step in order. Do not skip ahead—each step produces IDs needed by the next.

Step 1: Create Paint Styles for Backgrounds

Call styles once per style. Use method: "create" and type: "paint".

styles({ method: "create", type: "paint", name: "Color/Primary/Default",   color: "#2563EB" })
styles({ method: "create", type: "paint", name: "Color/Primary/Hover",     color: "#1D4ED8" })
styles({ method: "create", type: "paint", name: "Color/Secondary/Default", color: "#F1F5F9" })
styles({ method: "create", type: "paint", name: "Color/Secondary/Hover",   color: "#E2E8F0" })
styles({ method: "create", type: "paint", name: "Color/Danger/Default",    color: "#DC2626" })
styles({ method: "create", type: "paint", name: "Color/Danger/Hover",      color: "#B91C1C" })
styles({ method: "create", type: "paint", name: "Color/Ghost/Default",     color: "#FFFFFF", opacity: 0 })

Step 2: Create Paint Styles for Text

styles({ method: "create", type: "paint", name: "Color/Text/OnPrimary",   color: "#FFFFFF" })
styles({ method: "create", type: "paint", name: "Color/Text/OnSecondary", color: "#1E293B" })
styles({ method: "create", type: "paint", name: "Color/Text/OnDanger",    color: "#FFFFFF" })
styles({ method: "create", type: "paint", name: "Color/Text/OnGhost",     color: "#2563EB" })

Record every returned styleId—you will reference them when patching variant fills.

Step 3: Build the 12 Variant Frames (4 variants × 3 sizes)

For each combination below, call create_frame with the exact properties listed. Name the frame using the Variant=X, Size=Y convention so Figma will auto-parse variant properties when the set is created.

Size dimensions

Variant fill colors (use the styleId from Step 1 via fillStyleId)

Call create_frame like this (substitute actual values per combination):

create_frame({
  name: "Variant=Primary, Size=Medium",
  layoutMode: "HORIZONTAL",
  primaryAxisAlignItems: "CENTER",
  counterAxisAlignItems: "CENTER",
  primaryAxisSizingMode: "AUTO",
  counterAxisSizingMode: "FIXED",
  height: 40,
  paddingLeft: 16, paddingRight: 16, paddingTop: 10, paddingBottom: 10,
  cornerRadius: 6,
  fillStyleId: "<Color/Primary/Default styleId>"
})

Record the returned nodeId for each frame.

Step 4: Add Label Text to Each Frame

For each of the 12 frames, call create_text with the frame's nodeId as parentId:

create_text({
  parentId: "<frame-nodeId>",
  characters: "Button",
  fontSize: <size-specific fontSize>,
  fontWeight: 500,
  textStyleId: "<variant-specific text styleId>"
})

Record the returned text nodeId for each frame—you need it for component properties.

Step 5: Convert Each Frame to a Component

For each of the 12 frames:

components({
  method: "create",
  type: "from_node",
  nodeId: "<frame-nodeId>"
})

Record the returned component nodeId.

Then expose the label text as a component property:

components({
  method: "create",
  type: "component_property",
  nodeId: "<component-nodeId>",
  propertyName: "Label",
  propertyType: "TEXT",
  defaultValue: "Button",
  boundNodeId: "<text-nodeId>"
})

Step 6: Combine Into a Variant Set

Collect all 12 component nodeIds. Call:

components({
  method: "create",
  type: "variant_set",
  componentIds: ["<id1>", "<id2>", ..., "<id12>"]
})

Figma infers Variant and Size properties automatically from the frame names set in Step 3. Record the returned componentSetId.

Step 7: Lint the Variant Set

lint_node({
  nodeId: "<componentSetId>",
  rules: ["hardcoded-color", "no-text-style", "no-autolayout", "default-name"]
})

If hardcoded-color fires, the frame fill was not linked to a style—go back and verify fillStyleId was passed correctly. If no-text-style fires, verify textStyleId was passed to create_text. Fix all issues before reporting completion.

Completion

Report to the user:

• The componentSetId of the final variant set
• The 4 variant names and 3 size names confirmed
• Any lint issues found and how they were resolved
