Sketch File Format TS

TypeScript types for the Sketch File Format

Overview

This repo contains TypeScript types automatically generated from the Sketch File Format JSON Schemas.

Types are maintained and exported for each Sketch File Format major version. See usage instructions below for more information.

Use cases

• Strongly type objects representing Sketch documents, or fragments of Sketch documents in TypeScript projects

Related projects

• sketch-file-format
• sketch-reference-files

Usage

Add the npm module using npm or yarn

npm install @sketch-hq/sketch-file-format-ts

Types for the latest file format are on the default export

import FileFormat from '@sketch-hq/sketch-file-format'

Types for historical file formats are accessible via named exports

import {
  FileFormat1,
  FileFormat2,
  FileFormat3,
} from '@sketch-hq/sketch-file-format'

Read about how file format versions map to Sketch document versions here

Examples

Create a typed layer blur object

import FileFormat from '@sketch-hq/sketch-file-format'

const blur: FileFormat.Blur = {
  _class: 'blur',
  isEnabled: false,
  center: '{0.5, 0.5}',
  motionAngle: 0,
  radius: 10,
  saturation: 1,
  type: FileFormat.BlurType.Gaussian,
}

Layer types can be narrowed using discriminated unions

import FileFormat from '@sketch-hq/sketch-file-format'

const mapLayers = (layers: FileFormat.AnyLayer[]) => {
  return layers.map(layer => {
    switch (layer._class) {
      case 'bitmap':
      // type narrowed to Bitmap
      case 'star':
      // type narrowed to Star
    }
  })
}

Work with representations of Sketch files that could have a range of document versions

import {
  FileFormat1,
  FileFormat2,
  FileFormat3,
} from '@sketch-hq/sketch-file-format'

const processDocumentContents = (
  contents: FileFormat1.Contents | FileFormat2.Contents | FileFormat3.Contents,
) => {
  if (contents.meta.version === 119) {
    // type narrowed to file format v1, i.e. Sketch documents with version 119
  } else {
    // type narrowed to a union of document versions 120 and 121
  }
}
