The overlay method works great if your source of truth is code and you’re trying to recreate it within Figma. It assumes code is the source of truth.
#PIXEL PERFECT DESIGN FULL#
This process works great for full comps, but not so great for individual components. Imagine having to do this for every component in your library, including every variant and every state. This process works great, but it has two major issues. Aligning the screenshot and toggling the opacity.Grabbing the screenshot and importing over your Figma component.Right click -> Capture Node Screenshoot.One method to validate that your code is 100% pixel-perfect to your design is to use the overlay method, as described by David Luhr in Behind the scenes of creating the official Figma kit for Tailwind UI. It uses the Figma REST API to pull in any layer you want from Figma. Because it’s a Web Component, it can be dropped into any dev environment-plain ol’ HTML, React, Angular, Vue with only a few lines of code. Our solution is Figma Testing Library.įigma Testing Library is a lightweight Web Component that pulls in your designs from Figma and overlays them right on top of your code. This want quickly became a need when we undertook a massive effort to implement spacing design tokens. While developing Astro UXDS, we wanted a fast method for checking our components in code against their Figma counterparts.
So how does one validate pixel-perfection without screeching productivity to a halt to examine every commit under a magnifying glass?
Being off by one can break layouts, applications, and hearts. When you’re developing Design Systems, every pixel has its purpose. The reality is we’re often only Pixel Pretty Close. The legacy of “Pixel Perfect” is a million little JIRA tickets titled “Change 3px to 2px.” Death by a thousand paper cuts. The ability to take an asset designed in Photoshop, Sketch, Figma and implement in code is the superpower of frontend developers.
