Sharing Figma With Developers & Engineers Handoff
Hi, everyone in this video. We're gonna look at what I'm calling a vanilla version of a hand off to your engineer or your developer. OK? So just a nice simple kind of just the basics. There is your mock up down the bottom here. There is just some little bit of information about what we're doing, what the client is, what flow we're kind of demonstrating down here and maybe some links. OK? To um the prototype link. OK? So I've added that link maybe earlier on just so that they can easily go to the prototype if they're not sure how to get there. And it is really for somebody who's you're going to be working with some developer who's gonna get real on board with FIG A and be part of this whole uh online collaboration thing. And there's going to be people who just want to be told what to do, given good documentation and left to building it again, this will come down to your developer. So kind of just work with them, it might be a bit of a process to get them on board with the FIG A. OK? The...
re's a shared document that we might be using some sort of papery fig jammy mirror board thing that you might be using. OK. Just all the stuff there and easily find and, yeah, just dumped all my styles on the page, all the colors, you know, it depends on how much you want to impress them. Like this is not impressive at all, but I put the colors out there. OK? Uh Components are kind of stripped out and I haven't labeled them all. I could. It really, yeah, there's no right or wrong. OK? Just get a sense for what's required for this one. You might go way overboard for your first one. OK? Get it looking pretty. I'll show you some good examples better than my examples. Um But yeah, just kind of laid out the basics for this page. Now, how do I share it with them? You do the share option? Oh, hi, everyone little button here. I'm going to, there's a little update um to this video. Um fig we have changed things a little bit. What we've done in the past is when we've shared stuff for a developer, we shared to them and we got them to then go to this inspect tab here. They've moved that inspect tab into this little toggle switch. OK? It's called DEV mode. Now, instead of inspect, still kind of inspect there it is there. OK? Bart, they're calling it DEV mode. OK? So when you are sharing, I'm in design mode, it's blue DEV mode green. OK? If I go to share and I share this link to the developer, what's gonna end up happening is they're gonna go into your design version, which is a little bit more complicated and a little bit harder to use for developers. OK? So you want to get them straight into DEV mode. So what you do as a designer, as you say, you got that on then go to share. And if you share a link from this mode, OK? DEV mode, OK? You'll get a link that comes to this green version. I'll explain what the green version is now, but it's a better way to share. That's why I've put it in right at that point. Don't share that original version. This is the new better way. Now I might as well continue on with a chunk of the video explaining what is in this kind of inspect mode now, really called DEV mode is that this allows a developer to go through and be a bit self sufficient. OK? So they can go through and say actually uh I can click on this and it's just easier for them to work on. OK? If you've got groups inside of groups inside of frames, it can get a bit tricky for developers to click, click, click, click, click to try and find the bits they need. Whereas now in DEV mode, it's a little bit more one clicky wishes if I click on this top navigation. Ok. It's giving me a lot of stuff about the navigation, height and width. Ok. I'm using CS S they might be using one of the app development frameworks. Ok. I'm gonna use CS S ok? But it gives them the code that they may or may not use depending on what they need. Ok. The colors used in there, which is awesome. Ok. Also all the assets in this. I'm actually, I'm done the whole frame. Let's click on just the, the top navigation. Can you see? It's given me that spacing, but it's given me the icons that are in it, which is really easy. So in previous videos, we showed you how to like um you know, export SCGS for the developer. If you've got a developer that is working inside of FIG A, they can grab the stuff themselves. That's the way we work at bringing your laptop. OK? Our developer Malcolm will come into the FIG M files and pull the stuff he needs out of here. OK? So that's handy. OK? You can decide SP GP NG and then just hit the little download button a lot more self sufficient. The other thing to note is that at the moment, this is uh what's called an open beta. So it's a function that is used. Everybody in fig A can use it free accounts, paid accounts, enterprise. And I know the plan is in the future, I think it is, is to make this a pro only account. Ok. So pay down only account. So yours might be different if you're in the free account in the future and you're watching this and how you got a hold of this video. Ok? And it's not updated and that yours might look slightly different. You might have a cut down version, your DEV mode might only be enabled in pro mode, ok? And you might get a limited amount of insect features, but at the moment it's open to everybody. So here we go DEV mode. It's really cool. Just make sure when you are sharing your link, you're in this toggle switch to make sure you get the right link to the developer. That's it. Uh last part of the video and then we'll move on. Well, that's the update version gone carry on with the video. Enjoy. Actually, before you go one last thing, super important, OK? You need to know how to put emojis in your page names because it's gonna impress everyone. OK? So on a Mac, you double click in here have the cursor flashing where you want your emoji and you go command control space bar. OK? And then you can start deciding what kind of things you want in there. Very important. Find appropriate stuff for the different page names, makes it easier to find them. Kind of, it's just fun using emojis on A PC. I don't know how it's a little bit weird. I googled it and it's not super clear. You just need to Google the words add emoji to text layers. It's more of a generic Windows thing. OK? Same on Mac you just but Mac's got a shortcut for it but both can be done. You can add these emojis uh down here as well. They can be in any text box just make sure your cur is flashing two of them. Alright. That is gonna be it very important emojis. Alright on to the next video.
