## 🔗 Code Connect

Map Figma components to your actual code implementations for better AI-assisted code generation.

### Why Code Connect?

- 🎯 **Accurate code generation** - AI knows your component paths and props
- 🔄 **Consistent mappings** - Link design to code once, use everywhere
- 📚 **Example snippets** - Provide usage examples for better context

### Add a Mapping

```python
figma_add_code_connect_map(
    file_key="qyFsYyLyBsutXGGzZ9PLCp",
    node_id="1707:6176",
    component_path="src/components/ui/Button.tsx",
    component_name="Button",
    props_mapping={
        "Variant": "variant",      # Figma prop -> Code prop
        "Size": "size",
        "Disabled": "disabled"
    },
    variants={
        "primary": {"variant": "primary", "className": "bg-blue-500"},
        "secondary": {"variant": "secondary", "className": "bg-gray-500"},
        "outline": {"variant": "outline", "className": "border-2"}
    },
    example="<Button variant='primary' size='md'>Click me</Button>"
)
```

### Get Mappings

```python
# Get all mappings for a file
figma_get_code_connect_map(
    file_key="qyFsYyLyBsutXGGzZ9PLCp"
)

# Get specific node mapping
figma_get_code_connect_map(
    file_key="qyFsYyLyBsutXGGzZ9PLCp",
    node_id="1707:6176"
)
```

### Remove a Mapping

```python
figma_remove_code_connect_map(
    file_key="qyFsYyLyBsutXGGzZ9PLCp",
    node_id="1707:6176"
)
```

### Storage Configuration

| Setting | Default | Description |
|---------|---------|-------------|
| Storage Path | `~/.config/pixelbyte-figma-mcp/code_connect.json` | Local JSON storage |
| Custom Path | `FIGMA_CODE_CONNECT_PATH` env variable | Override default path |

---

## 📸 Screenshot Export

Export Figma nodes as images in multiple formats. Screenshots are **automatically downloaded and saved locally** for easy access.

```python
figma_get_screenshot(
    file_key="qyFsYyLyBsutXGGzZ9PLCp",
    node_ids=["1707:6176", "1707:6200"],
    format="png",   # png, svg, jpg, pdf
    scale=2.0       # 0.01 to 4.0
)
```

**Output:**
```
# Generated Screenshots
**Format:** PNG
**Scale:** 2x

## Local Files

- **1707:6176**: `/tmp/figma_screenshots/qyFsYyLyBsutXGGzZ9PLCp_1707-6176_20260113_143022.png`
- **1707:6200**: `/tmp/figma_screenshots/qyFsYyLyBsutXGGzZ9PLCp_1707-6200_20260113_143022.png`

> Screenshots saved to: `/tmp/figma_screenshots`
```

Screenshots are saved to a temporary directory and can be directly read by Claude Code's `Read` tool for visual analysis.

## 🔑 Getting File Key and Node ID

### File Key

From your Figma URL:
```
https://www.figma.com/design/qyFsYyLyBsutXGGzZ9PLCp/My-Design
                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                              This is the file_key
```

### Node ID

1. Select a layer in Figma
2. Right-click → **Copy link**
3. The URL contains `node-id=1707-6176`
4. Use `1707:6176` or `1707-6176` (both work)
