What is the correct way of adding a menu without having separate .ts files?

[lorenzwoehr]

My plan is to add several commands to the plugin menu, which call different functions in main.ts.
However, currently the "main" field in figma-plugin gets converted to "command".

For instance ...

"menu": [
      {
        "name": "Command 1",
        "main": "src/main.ts",
        "ui": "src/ui.tsx"
      },
      "-",
      {
        "name": "Command 2",
        "main": "src/main.ts",
        "ui": "src/ui.tsx"
      }
]

... gets converted to the following in manifest.json :

"menu": [
    {
      "name": "Command 1",
      "command": "src/main.ts--default"
    },
    {
      "separator": true
    },
    {
      "name": "Command 2",
      "command": "src/main.ts--default"
    }
]

When I'm trying to add the following directly in manifest.json , Figma complains about Uncaught Error: No UI defined for command command-1, presumably because I'm not calling figma.showUI() in main.ts . Instead I'm calling showUI() from the create-figma-plugin package:

"main": "build/main.js",
  "ui": "build/ui.js",
  "menu": [
    {
      "name": "Command 1",
      "command": "command-1"
    },
    {
      "separator": true
    },
    {
      "name": "Command 2",
      "command": "command-2"
    }
]

Thank you in advance 🙏

add several commands to the plugin menu, which call different functions in main.ts

Instead of only using the default export for all the commands, you can specify a particular named export for each command instead. For example:

"menu": [
  {
    "name": "Command 1",
    "main": {
      "src": "src/main.ts",
      "handler": "commandOne"
    },
    "ui": "src/ui.tsx"
  },
  "-",
  {
    "name": "Command 2",
    "main": {
      "src": "src/main.ts",
      "handler": "commandTwo"
    },
    "ui": "src/ui.tsx"
  }
]

Your src/main.ts can then be something like:

export function commandOne () {
  // ...
}

export function commandTwo () {
  // ...
}

I do not recommend manually editing the manifest.json because it will always get overridden whenever you rebuild your plugin
