Anima Install & Auth Skill

Anima Install & Auth

Overview

Install @animaapp/anima-sdk and configure authentication tokens. Anima converts Figma designs into production-ready React, Vue, or HTML code with Tailwind, MUI, AntD, or shadcn styling. The SDK runs server-side only.

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ (SDK is server-side only)
Figma account with API access
Anima API token (request at animaapp.com)
Figma Personal Access Token

Instructions

Step 1: Install the Anima SDK

npm install @animaapp/anima-sdk

Step 2: Get Your Tokens

# 1. Figma Personal Access Token:
#    Figma > Settings > Account > Personal Access Tokens > Generate

# 2. Anima API Token:
#    Request from Anima team (currently limited partner access)
#    https://docs.animaapp.com/docs/anima-api

# Store securely
cat > .env << 'EOF'
ANIMA_TOKEN=your-anima-api-token
FIGMA_TOKEN=your-figma-personal-access-token
EOF

echo ".env" >> .gitignore
chmod 600 .env

Step 3: Initialize and Verify

// src/anima-client.ts
import { Anima } from '@animaapp/anima-sdk';

const anima = new Anima({
  auth: {
    token: process.env.ANIMA_TOKEN!,
  },
});

// Verify connection by generating code from a known Figma file
async function verifySetup() {
  try {
    const { files } = await anima.generateCode({
      fileKey: 'your-figma-file-key',     // From Figma URL: figma.com/file/{fileKey}/...
      figmaToken: process.env.FIGMA_TOKEN!,
      nodesId: ['1:2'],                    // Specific node to convert
      settings: {
        language: 'typescript',
        framework: 'react',
        styling: 'tailwind',
      },
    });

    console.log(`Generated ${files.length} files`);
    for (const file of files) {
      console.log(`  ${file.fileName} (${file.content.length} chars)`);
    }
    return true;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Setup verification failed:', error);
    return false;
  }
}

verifySetup();

Step 4: Get Your Figma File Key

Figma URL format:
https://www.figma.com/file/ABC123xyz/My-Design?node-id=1:2

File Key: ABC123xyz
Node ID: 1:2 (from the URL query parameter)

Output

@animaapp/anima-sdk installed
Anima token and Figma token configured in .env
Verified code generation from a Figma design
Understanding of file key and node ID extraction

Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Solution | |-------|-------|----------| | Invalid Anima token | Token not provisioned | Request token from Anima team | | Invalid Figma token | PAT expired or wrong | Generate new PAT in Figma Settings | | File not found | Wrong file key | Extract key from Figma URL correctly | | Node not found | Invalid node ID | Use Figma Dev Mode to get node IDs | | SDK not for browser | Used in client-side code | SDK is server-side only |
