The example imports SVG files from URLs copied to the macOS pasteboard and places them onto a selected artboard in Sketch. It uses the Sketch JavaScript API with `sketch.ShapePath`, `sketch.getSelectedDocument`, and `MSSVGImporter` to parse and convert each SVG into a native layer. The script reads URLs via `NSPasteboard` and `readObjectsForClasses_options`, then positions each imported layer horizontally with an offset of 50 pixels. The code demonstrates batch SVG ingestion from clipboard data into a design document.

Paste In SVG code

This example demonstrates how to insert raw SVG markup directly into a Sketch document using the Sketch DOM API and the `sketch/createLayerFromData` function with an 'svg' format. The code prompts the user for an SVG string through `UI.getInputFromUser`, then assigns the resulting layer to the selected page. It relies on the `sketch/dom` module to handle document and page selection, and `sketch/ui` for the input dialog, creating a quick bridge between external SVG code and Sketch’s native layer hierarchy.

Sketch Global colors to Layers

This example demonstrates how to extract the global color palette from Sketch’s asset library and render each color as a square swatch on the selected page. It iterates through the document’s color assets, converts each color from its native color space to a hexadecimal string, and creates a new `ShapePath` for every swatch, positioning them in a horizontal row. The script uses the Sketch JavaScript API, specifically `MSPersistentAssetCollection`, `ShapePath`, and `Rectangle`, with custom helper functions for RGB-to-hex conversion.

Read/Write Sketch objects from the pasteboard

This example demonstrates how to copy and paste Sketch layer objects through the system pasteboard, showing both read and write operations. The read script retrieves layers from the pasteboard using `MSPasteboardManager.readPasteboardLayersFromPasteboard` and wraps them with the Sketch JavaScript API. The write script takes a selected layer from `doc.selectedLayers`, wraps it in an `MSLayerArray`, and writes it using `MSPasteboardLayers.pasteboardLayersWithLayers` and `MSPasteboardManager.writePasteboardLayers_toPasteboard`. The code relies on the `sketch` module and native Objective-C class access, with `context.document` providing the document’s color space.

Gist b3b904582eaa49475bc90dacbb6d92c9

This example demonstrates how to construct and arrange basic geometric shapes within a Sketch document using the `sketch` JavaScript API. The code programmatically creates an artboard and populates it with a square, a triangle, a hexagon, and a circle, each styled with distinct fill colors or a bordered outline. The `ShapePath` class and its `ShapeType` enumerations are the core components, with coordinates and dimensions set through `frame` objects. The rendering approach is code-driven, defining visual elements directly without external data sources, showcasing the library’s programmatic drawing capabilities.

Pasteboard

This example demonstrates the various formats a copied Sketch object can take when retrieved from the system pasteboard. It shows that a single clipboard item contains multiple simultaneously available data representations, including native Sketch JSON, Adobe PDF, and TIFF image data. The visualization uses AppleScript’s `NSPasteboard.generalPasteboard().pasteboardItems()` API to access clipboard contents, then calls `items[0].types()` to list the available MIME types and `items[0].dataForType('com.bohemiancoding.sketch.v3')` to extract the raw binary data, which appears as a hexadecimal dump. The code reveals the clipboard’s multi-format nature without rendering any graphical output.

Making cool lines in Sketch

A generative drawing built with the Sketch JavaScript API draws a symmetric, web-like pattern of red lines on a black artboard. The example shows how four nested loops create a series of straight ShapePath segments, each with semi-transparent red borders, that collectively form a repeating geometric motif. It demonstrates programmatic layer creation, setting frame and style properties, and using the `adjustToFit` method to size the group. The code uses `sketch.getSelectedDocument`, `Artboard`, `Group`, and `ShapePath` to generate the composition directly within Sketch's document model.

A Sketch snippet to copy global colors to the pasteboard

This sketch copies all global color assets from a Sketch document to the clipboard as CSS rules, converting each color to hex and generating class names. It uses the Sketch JavaScript API (`sketch.globalAssets`) to access color assets and `NSPasteboard` to write the formatted string. The code iterates through every saved color, builds a CSS block with a `.colorN` selector or the asset’s name, and trims trailing whitespace before showing a confirmation message.

SketchPreset NSData

An interactive Node.js visualization uses d3.forceSimulation to position a network of SVG circles, each colored by a sketch preset. The sketch data is loaded from a JSON archive and rendered as a force-directed graph. The example demonstrates force layout with drag behavior and visual encoding of categorical data through node fill colors.
