About Roller

Roller is a free Figma plugin published by Toybox in 2019. It works in Figma Design and has 20,647 users and 613 likes on the Figma Community.

In the developer's words

Roller is the first ever Design Linter - giving you the power to automatically find and fix style inconsistencies in your files. Be confident every design you hand-off is 100% consistent with your Style Guide or Design System.

How to use Roller

1 - Import or add your styles to the Roller Library

2 - Roller then automatically finds any inconsistencies (Errors) on the page that don’t match what is in your Library

3 - Replace the Error with one of your Library’s styles

4 - Rinse & repeat to reach 100% consistency

Lint in the following categories

• Colors - Quickly fix the 50 (or 5,000) shades of gray that are lurking in your designs.

• Text - If a subtle line-height or letter-spacing is off, Roller will pick them up and get you back on system.

• Borders - Roller lets you add the width and colors of your borders - making it easy to find any rogue input field or card.

• Shadows - Roller gives you superhuman eyes - making it possible to detect subtle differences in shadow blurs or x, y offsets.

• Radiuses - Be confident that any button, card, input etc. has the correct border-radiuses applied.

Keep your team in-sync

Roller lets you store and share your Library with teammates. Make sure everyone on your team has up-to-date resources and styles when linting.
