Bridgy: Design-to-Code Automation Plugin

Currently in beta development as a university project. Automate Figma variable exports, generate component tests, and integrate with GitLab. Full roadmap delivery by March 2026.

The Real Problem: Design-Code Drift

⌨️

Manual Import Hell

Copy-pasting design tokens one by one from Figma to CSS. Typos in hex codes, wrong spacing values, inconsistent naming. Each manual step is a potential error.

⏱️

Massive Setup Time

Hours spent setting up design systems in code. Creating CSS variables, configuring build tools, establishing naming conventions. Repeated for every project.

🎯

Silent Drift Detection

Existing codebases where design and code weren't synced for months. Small differences compound over time - is that button still the right color? Are spacing values correct?

How Bridgy Solves This

Direct automation from Figma to your codebase - no manual work required.

⚡

Zero Manual Export

One-click export from Figma variables to production-ready CSS/SCSS. Supports multi-mode variables (light/dark themes) with automatic [data-theme="..."] selectors. No copy-pasting, no typos, no missed updates.

Smart validation • CSS/SCSS export • Multi-mode themes
🎯

Instant Drift Detection

Generate unit tests that compare your existing components with current Figma designs. Perfect for legacy projects where design-code sync was lost.

Automated testing • IDE integration
🔄

Continuous Synchronization

GitLab integration automatically updates your codebase when designs change. Design system stays in sync without developer intervention.

Git automation • Real-time sync
🛡️

Quality Assurance

Built-in validation prevents inconsistent variable structures. Maintains clean, scalable design token architecture.

Structure validation • Best practices
🔍

Component Browser

Navigate and explore your design system components visually. Search, filter, and jump directly to components across pages. Perfect for understanding your design system structure.

Visual navigation • Cross-page search • Component hierarchy

Who Is Bridgy For?

👩‍🎨

Designers

Tired of developers asking "what's the exact spacing?" or seeing your carefully crafted design system implemented inconsistently. Take control with automated exports.

  • Maintain design system integrity
  • Eliminate manual handoff errors
  • See real implementation status
👨‍💻

Frontend Developers

Stop manually copying design tokens and wondering if your implementation matches the design. Focus on functionality while Bridgy handles design consistency.

  • Automated token synchronization
  • Unit tests for design compliance
  • Legacy codebase auditing

Development Roadmap

University project timeline: Full feature delivery by March 2026

✅

Beta Phase (Current)

Variable validation, multi-format export (CSS/SCSS), multi-mode variable support (light/dark themes), component testing, component browser, GitLab integration, GitHub feedback system

Now - Dec 2024
🎯

Design System Guidance

Direct feedback and improvement suggestions within the plugin. Help designers create perfect design system foundations regardless of experience level.

Nov - Dec 2025
⚡

Enhanced Export & Versioning

Tailwind CSS support, framework-specific exports, reverse import from existing codebases, GitHub integration, additional version control systems.

Dec 2025 - Jan 2026
🚀

Component Generation

Direct skeleton generation for React, Angular, and Vue components. Perfect for greenfield projects with automatic styling implementation from Figma.

Jan - Mar 2026

Current Limitations (Beta)

Transparency about what's not yet ready for production

⚠️

Test Accuracy

Unit tests check Figma values, not live code variables. Tests become outdated when variables change without re-export from Figma.

🔧

Manual Setup Required

Component tests need minimal manual implementation on developer side. Not fully automated yet.

🎯

GitLab Only

Currently supports GitLab integration only. GitHub and other platforms coming in 2025 roadmap.
