Import multiple asset folder of images

[KulakovaE]

Hi,
This is more of a question about support rather than an issue.

Currently, we import icons and images, and we received a request to import another group of images called "shapes." We’re setting it up as follows:

icons:
    format: pdf
    assetsFolder: Icons
    nameStyle: camelCase
    preservesVectorRepresentation:
    - regularUser
    imageSwift: "-path-"

  images:
    illustrations:
      assetsFolder: Illustrations
      nameStyle: camelCase
      figmaFrameName: Illustrations
      imageSwift: "-path-"

    shapes:
      assetsFolder: Shapes
      format: pdf
      nameStyle: camelCase
      figmaFrameName: Shapes
      nameValidateRegexp: '^shape[/a-z0-9_]*$'
      imageSwift: "-path-"

We initially tried structuring "illustrations" and "shapes" as a list, but this caused parsing issues when exporting icons, which seemed unexpected.
The error we get:

typeMismatch(Yams.Node.Mapping, Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [CodingKeys(stringValue: "ios", intValue: nil), CodingKeys(stringValue: "images", intValue: nil)], debugDescription: "Expected to decode Mapping but found Node instead.", underlyingError: nil))

Do you know how we can resolve this? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Elena

Hi!

we received a request to import another group of images called "shapes."

What is “shapes”?

We’re setting it up as follows:
…
shapes:
assetsFolder: Shapes
format: pdf
…

Config file doesn’t support “shapes” parameter.

Use two separate figma-export.yaml files for different image groups. You cannot specify two Figma frames for exporting images in one config file.

Thank you for the answer @subdan.
The shapes are another type of images that is as part of a separate frame.
Would it work with a same figma fileId or only having two separate figma-export.yaml files should be enought?

Only two separate figma-export.yaml files

FWIW, I am doing this with a "template" figma-export.yaml, and using a bash script to automate the process from a list of "frames", generating temporary figma-export.yaml files with the appropriate settings.
