Populate - use JSON, CSV and AI-generated data to create design with real data

About this plugin

The Populate plugin is a powerful tool designed to automate the process of filling Figma components with real or placeholder data. It saves time by dynamically creating multiple instances of a component and populating them with data from various sources.

Key Capabilities:

1. Data Integration: Import data from JSON or CSV files, or directly from a URL API.
2. AI Data Generation: Generate relevant placeholder data on the fly using AI, which is perfect for rapid prototyping when real data isn't available.
3. Smart Mapping: Automatically maps data to text layers using simple variable syntax (e.g., {{.name}}).
4. Dynamic Visibility: Toggles the visibility of layers within groups based on the data provided, allowing you to show different states (like icons or status badges) for each instance.
5. Bulk Instance Creation: Quickly generate multiple instances of a selected component, each pre-filled with a different row of data from your source.
6. Randomization: Option to randomly select items from your data source to ensure variety in your designs.

In short, it transforms static components into dynamic layouts powered by real data, making it ideal for designing lists, tables, and content-heavy interfaces.

There is 7 day trial to try and play around with the plugin. After this - 4$/month.
