Rectangles

Here is an example of the code that will be generated when you select a rectangle showing the full set of properties that can be generated:

  , width $ V 200
  , background "#FF18294E"
  , stroke "1,#FFFFFFFF"
  , cornerRadius 4
  ][]

Text

textView
  [ height $ V 19 
  , width $ V 235
  , text "There’s a lot to share with others…"
  , fontStyle "Gilroy-Medium"
  , textSize 16
  , color "#9B9B9B"
  , letterSpacing (-0.33)
  ]

Groups

linearLayout
  [ height $ V 300
  , width $ V 400
  ][]

What layer styles can the plugin handle?

• Opacity

How include image assets

When the design of a layer cannot be represented using native code you will need to use an image asset:

imageView
  [ height $ V 200 
  , width $ V 200
  , imageUrl "avatar"
  ]

Here’s how:

1. Select the layer in Sketch and press 'CMD SHIFT P'

2. Enter the ImageUrl and press ok, it will be used to generate the asset naming and in generation imageView -> imageUrl.
