Establishing the Pipeline
Export icons from Figma as SVG using consistent naming that matches your code's component names, then run them through an optimizer before committing, so design and code stay aligned.
- Match Figma export names to code component names
- Optimize exported SVGs before committing
- Automate the export-to-commit pipeline where possible
Keeping Tokens Aligned
If Figma uses color variables matching your code's design tokens, exported SVG fills should reference equivalent token names, minimizing manual recoloring after each sync.
- Align Figma variables with code token names
- Reduces manual recoloring after each export
- Review diffs to catch unintended visual changes
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I optimize SVGs exported from Figma before using them?
Yes — Figma's raw SVG export often includes redundant groups and attributes; run it through an SVG optimizer before adding it to your codebase.
How do I keep Figma and code icon names consistent?
Agree on a shared naming convention between design and engineering, and enforce it at export time so files map directly to component names.
