About this plugin
Visually connect 2 figma elements.
Made with workflow speed and performance in mind.
Purpose
It solves a need to see how items are related to each other by visually connecting them. Original purpose is to design complex systems and their architecture.
Terminology
- Item - is any figma element (text, frame, group, image)
- Flow - is a line that goes from item -> to item
How to use
- Create/Update flow - select the first and the second items by holding shift.
- Delete flow - set 'lock' switch to disabled state, select flow directly and delete it by pressing [Delete].
- Get static flow - select flows you need, group them by pressing [Ctrl + G] and move outside the 'ItemFlow' group
Interface guide is in the cover art or on imgur
Technical stuff
The more flows you got, the less frequent plugin will update them in order to save you fps.
There are many plugins like that, why am i copying their ideas?
(UX opinion from september 2021)
I tried many free plugins to create flows and all of them had great implementations of how it should be, but they also got weak sides to do architecture stuff.
Get the source code and/or contribute Github
Because its free, i feel in power to advertise our group :)
