Rendering different code based on the parent component. Is it possible?

[rkieru]

In Figma we rely on a List primitive to output a type of UI across multiple components. So for example:

• Select Dropdown
• Side Navigation
• Mobile Navigation

These 3 components may all use the List primitive. But in our SDK implementation we do not use the same component for each.

Is there a way to identify through code connect when a "List" is being consumed in "Component A" vs. "Component B" and based on that offer a different output?

@rkieru I had this same exact question. I gave a longer, more annoying version of this question here 😛

I think it would be nice if we could provide an optional param to figma.children. I could see it looking like:

children: figma.children("_ / ListItem", <DropdownListItem>),

or:

children: figma.children(["_ / ListItem", "_ / Icon"], [<DropdownListItem>, <DropdownIcon>]),

Figma friends, do you accept PRs from forks?
