Currently the plugin has hard-coded font family, font size, and line height properties to test. Future release will have an option to import text styles from a file for validation.
This plugin can be great to enable teams to check sketch file consistency and enable agencies that may be working with you to double their sketch files.
-
Download or clone the contents, and copy/install DS-Textvalidator.sketchplugin to your Sketch plugins folder
-
From your plugins menu select "⛑Styleguide Validator"
-
Choose if you want to validate Web or Mobile font styles. Below is a table of the font styles this plugin currently compares to.
-
A popup should appear asking if you want to validate the full document or the page currently selected
Note: Validating the entire document may take a few minutes depending on the size. Your sketch application may lockup until it's completed.
- A report will generate and open in your web browser showing you the results, red columns meaning there was an error found with this property.
- If your font size is invalid, the line height will automatically become highlighted as invalid.
- If the layer style passes 100%, the layer will not appear in the page. If nothing appears in the report, all your layers pass 💯

I am not the most proficient in JS, and the Sketch APIs are not the most understandable in the world. If you know of a better algorithm do let me know ✌️
Updates soon!
