This package contains CSS and Javascript to closely match the look, feel and function of those found in Figma. It has been created without any frameworks (like React, Vue, etc.) and only leverages (native) javascript for components not possible without.
You can install this package as a dependecy on your own project: npm install figma-plugin-ds
Styles
To use the styles, you can use them via a link tag, or import them like a module using a CSS loader.
``HTML`
`Javascript`
//You could also inport the css via a CSS Loader in your JS environment (refer to syntax of whatever loader you are using)
import styles from 'figma-plugin-ds/dist/figma-plugin-ds.css'
To use the Select menu or Disclosure components, you will need to import the Javascript files as well. This package supports both standard IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expressions) and ES6 Modules. There are a number of ways to get started.
Scripts: IIFE hosted on CDN (quick and easy, I don't want to mess with npm packages)
`HTML`
Scripts: ES6 Modules
`Javascript`
import { selectMenu, disclosure } from 'figma-plugin-ds';

To create an select menu, use the following markup. The select menu also requires you to initalize it with Javascript. If your plugin requires you to add or remove items in the select menu, simply use Javascript to modify the select menu and the select will reinitialize.
The select menu will open and position the menu to the selected object. If there is no vertical room inside your plugin's iFrame, the position of the menu will be moved to ensure it fits inside the iframe. If you have a select menu with too many options to fit within the iFrame, the menu will scroll vertically.

`To initialize with Javascript:
Javascript
//initialize all select menus
selectMenu.init();//uninitialize all select menus
