This makes it easy to migrate data, create backups, or prepare content outside the plugin before using it in Figma.
CSV format
DataTyper expects CSV files with exactly two columns:
datatype_name,datatype_value
- datatype_name — the name of the datatype
- datatype_value — a single value for that datatype
Each row represents one value.
Example CSV
Here is a simple example you can copy and adjust:
| datatype_name | datatype_value |
|---|---|
| Names | John Smith |
| Names | Jane Doe |
| Emails | john@example.com |
| Emails | jane@example.com |
This creates:
- One datatype named
Nameswith two values - One datatype named
Emailswith two values
Tip
When exporting CSV from Google Sheets or Excel, you can enter multiple values in one cell using line breaks. Each line will be imported as a separate value in DataTyper.
