sketch-image-downloader

A Sketch module to handle image downloads and insertion in documents

Usage

insertImage(url, parentLayer)

Inserts a bitmap layer in parentLayer with the contents of the image at url. Returns the image layer as a Promise, so you can chain the function.

import sketch from 'sketch'
import insertImage from 'sketch-image-downloader'

insertImage('https://source.unsplash.com/random', sketch.getSelectedDocument().selectedPage)

With promises:

import sketch from 'sketch'
import insertImage from 'sketch-image-downloader'

insertImage('https://source.unsplash.com/random', sketch.getSelectedDocument().selectedPage).then(layer => {
  console.log(`Inserted layer: ${layer.name}`)
})

getImageFromURL(url)

Downloads the image at url and returns a path to the local file, ready to use in your DataProvider plugins. Returns the image path as a Promise, so you can chain the function.

import sketch from 'sketch'
import getImageFromURL from 'sketch-image-downloader'

getImageFromURL('https://source.unsplash.com/random')

With promises:

import sketch from 'sketch'
import getImageFromURL from 'sketch-image-downloader'

getImageFromURL('https://source.unsplash.com/random').then(path => {
  console.log(`Image saved to ${path}`)
})
