Figma for Jira

A Connect app for integrating Figma designs into Jira.

  • Implements the Design Connect module to enable linking/unlinking Figma designs to/from a Jira issue.
  • Implements design metadata sync from Figma to Jira for the configured Figma teams.
  • Provides backwards compatibility with the previous versions of the app.

The app has been created based on the Atlassian Connect Node Example App.

Table of Contents

Prerequisites

Getting started

  1. Install and use the target version of Node.js
    nvm install
  2. Install the dependencies.
    npm ci
  3. Create .env file based on .env.example and set unset env variables.
  4. Start the application sandbox.
    npm run start:sandbox
  5. Start an ngrok tunnel (to make the app accessible by Jira).
    npm run start:tunnel

    ℹ️ NOTE: If you are using a free version of ngrok, please open the tunneled URL in browser and click on the Visit button. This needs to be done to bypass the ngrok browser warning.

  6. Start the app.
    npm start

Open the Connect descriptor (${APP_URL}/atlassian-connect.json) in your browser to verify that the app is up and running.

Debugging

With IntelliJ

  1. Ensure that the app is running locally (see Getting started).
  2. Choose Attach to Node.js configuration and click Debug.

Installing the app

Ensure that the app is running locally (see Getting started).

  1. Go to http://go.atlassian.com/cloud-dev and sign up (if you don't have your Jira instance). It may take several minutes to provision your site.
  2. Go to your Jira instance.
  3. Enable the installation of apps that are not listed on the Atlassian Marketplace.
    1. Go to Apps > Manage your apps.
    2. Click User-installed apps > Settings.
    3. Check Enable development mode and click Apply.
  4. Reload the page.
  5. Install the app.
    1. Go to App > Manage your apps > Upload app.
    2. Paste the link to your Connect descriptor (${APP_URL}/atlassian-connect.json) and click Upload.

Testing endpoints locally

/lifecycleEvents/ endpoints

These endpoints handle Connect lifecycle events and are called by Jira.

  1. Install a locally running app on your Jira instance to receive lifecycle event requests.

/admin/ endpoints

These endpoints implement the functionality required by admin UI (which is a part of the app).

  1. Install a locally running app on your Jira instance.
  2. In Jira, go to Apps > Manage your apps > Figma for Jira > Configure to open admin UI.
  3. Use admin UI to trigger requests to the endpoints.

/entities and /auth endpoints

These endpoints represent the implementation of the Design Connect module module and are called by Jira.

Testing via Jira

  1. Install a locally running app on your Jira instance.
  2. Open a Jira issue.
  3. Use the Designs panel to trigger requests to the endpoints.

Testing directly

If needed, you could test these APIs directly by mimicking Jira backend.

  1. Install a locally running app on your Jira instance.

  2. Find information about your Atlassian site and user.

    • To find your CLIENT_KEY and SHARED_SECRET, see the jira_connect_installation database table.
    • To find your ATLASSIAN_USER_ID, open https://id.atlassian.com/gateway/api/me and see account_id.
    • To find your ATLASSIAN_CLOUD_ID, open https://${MY_SITE_NAME}.atlassian.net/_edge/tenant_info and see cloudId.
  3. Generate a JWT token for a target endpoint, e.g.:

    npm run jira:jwt:symmetric:server:generate -- \
     --clientKey "${CLIENT_KEY}" \
     --sharedSecret "${SHARED_SECRET}" \
     --method "GET" \
     --endpoint "/auth/checkAuth?userId=${ATLASSIAN_USER_ID}"
    npm run jira:jwt:symmetric:server:generate -- \
     --clientKey "${CLIENT_KEY}" \
     --sharedSecret "${SHARED_SECRET}" \
     --method "POST" \
     --endpoint "/entities/getEntityByUrl?userId=${ATLASSIAN_USER_ID}"
  4. Use cURL or any other tool to call endpoints. Replace placeholders with real values in the commands below, e.g.:

    curl --request GET \
      --url '${APP_URL}/auth/checkAuth?userId=${ATLASSIAN_USER_ID}' \
      --header 'Authorization: JWT ${TOKEN}'
    curl --request POST \
      --url '${APP_URL}/entities/getEntityByUrl?userId=${ATLASSIAN_USER_ID}' \
      --header 'Authorization: JWT ${TOKEN}' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --data '{
        "entity": {
            "url": "https://www.figma.com/file/${FILE_KEY}"
        }
    }'
     curl --request PUT \
       --url '${APP_URL}/entities/onEntityAssociated?userId=${ATLASSIAN_USER_ID}' \
       --header 'Authorization: JWT ${TOKEN}' \
       --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
       --data '{
         "entity": {
             "id": "${FILE_KEY}",
             "ari": "NOT_USED"
         },
         "associatedWith": {
             "ati": "ati:cloud:jira:issue",
             "ari": "ari:cloud:jira:${ATLASSIAN_CLOUD_ID}:issue/${JIRA_ISSUE_ID}",
             "cloudId": "${ATLASSIAN_CLOUD_ID}",
             "id": "${JIRA_ISSUE_ID}"
         }
     }'
     curl --request PUT \
       --url '${APP_URL}/entities/onEntityDisassociated?userId=${ATLASSIAN_USER_ID}' \
       --header 'Authorization: JWT ${TOKEN}' \
       --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
       --data '{
         "entity": {
             "id": "${FILE_KEY}",
             "ari": "NOT_USED"
         },
         "disassociatedFrom": {
             "ati": "ati:cloud:jira:issue",
             "ari": "ari:cloud:jira:${ATLASSIAN_CLOUD_ID}:issue/${JIRA_ISSUE_ID}",
             "cloudId": "${ATLASSIAN_CLOUD_ID}",
             "id": "${JIRA_ISSUE_ID}"
         }
     }'

Database

The app uses Prisma as an ORM for interacting with a Postgres database.

Connecting to the database

  1. Ensure that you have .env with PG_* env variables set.

  2. Start the application sandbox:

    npm run start:sandbox
  3. Use IntelliJ Database tool or any other tool to connect to the database using the Postgres settings from the .env file.

    ✅ TIP: If you aren't seeing the tables in IntelliJ, you may have to select the right schemas from the Schemas tab in the Data Sources window.

Creating migrations

To run a database migration on your development environment:

  1. Ensure that the application sandbox is running.
    npm run start:sandbox
  2. Make schema changes in prisma/schema.prisma.
  3. Generate a new migration. You will be prompted to name the migration.
    npm run db:migrate:dev
    This will trigger @prisma/client regeneration. If you need to regenerate it manually, run npm run db:generate.

For more detail, see Prisma Docs - Developing with Prisma Migrate.
