Figma introduced code layers, Figma Motion, shader fills, generative plugins, and Weave tools at Config 2026. Code layers treat code as a design material on the canvas. The announcements focus on expanding creative expression beyond traditional design limits.
Figma Design now supports code layers directly on the canvas. Users can add a code layer from the toolbar, generate one via the Figma agent, or import a GitHub repository. The feature allows teams to explore, compare, and iterate on interactive code alongside design elements in a shared file.
