May 2, 2024 | Programming

Welcome to your one-stop guide for utilizing the Fubukicss browser extension, designed to seamlessly export styles from Figma into TailwindCSS, UnoCSS, and CSS—all in one go! In this blog, we will walk you through the process of using this powerful tool, troubleshoot common issues, and ensure you have all the information necessary to make the most out of your design workflow.

Getting Started with Fubukicss

The Fubukicss tool is a browser extension that allows you to export your Figma designs directly into various CSS frameworks like TailwindCSS and UnoCSS. Here’s how to set it up and start using it:

  • Installation: You can find the extension in the Chrome Web Store or download it directly via this zip file.
  • Usage: Please note that Figma has recently removed the window.figma interface in view-only mode. To use Fubukicss effectively, you need to duplicate your design to drafts and edit it from there.
  • Features: The extension allows you to:
    • Export Figma styles directly to CSS
    • Export Figma styles into TailwindCSS or UnoCSS
    • Export a Figma Frame Node as an image
    • List Figma colors

Using Fubukicss

To understand how to use the extension effectively, let’s think of it as a magic wand for your pixel-perfect creations. Imagine you’ve crafted a beautiful design in Figma that you want to turn into functional code; Fubukicss is like your trusty wizard, transforming your whimsical thoughts into tangible results with just a flick (or a click) of your wrist!

Step-by-Step Usage

  1. Open your design in Figma.
  2. Duplicate the draft to edit mode.
  3. Click on the Fubukicss browser extension to activate it.
  4. Select the components you wish to export and choose your desired format (CSS, TailwindCSS, or UnoCSS).
  5. Copy the generated code and use it in your project.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

While using Fubukicss, you might encounter some hiccups, especially since Figma has made changes to its interface. Here are some common issues and how to resolve them:

  • Problem: Fubukicss is not working in view-only mode.
    Solution: As of now, Fubukicss requires you to use the edit mode. Duplicate the design to your drafts, then access the extension.
  • Problem: Unable to get the latest updates.
    Solution: Follow the updates regarding the removal of window.figma on the Figma forum post.
  • Problem: The extension does not work after installation.
    Solution: Double-check that you’ve installed all necessary dependencies. You can do this by running the following commands in your terminal:
