Import sketch

[clayrisser]

How do I import a sketch file?

[jaredp]

The open source code has a directory called sketch-importer that has the code

Should be super easy to turn into a command line tool if you’re up to it

Check out https://github.com/Pagedraw/pagedraw/blob/master/sketch-importer/importer-server.coffee

on line 16 it imports './importer' , which is the real sketch->pagedraw code

importer-server.coffee wrapped that in a microservice

if you're up to it, make a new script, sketch-to-pagedraw.coffee , that wraps the ./importer  code in a command line tool

@jaredp can't you guys just provide a build for all platforms with all features enabled like it was before in the documentation site under section electro app, there was links for different set of builds which now are broken, i have a hard time to make a build for windows and also can't figure out how to enable angular or the sketch importer

Create a file with the following content in importer-server/

path = require 'path'
temp_dir = 'tmp/'
{importFromSketch} = require './importer'

upload_to_s3 = (filename, data, content_type, callback) ->
    fs.writeFileSync("output/"+filename,data)
    data.Location = __dirname+"/output/"+filename
    callback(false, data)

scratch_dir = path.join(temp_dir, "test")

importFromSketch(process.argv[2], scratch_dir, upload_to_s3)
.then (docjson) ->
    fs.writeFileSync("output/output.json",JSON.stringify(docjson),"utf8")

Then execute using `coffee <your_script>.js <path_to_sketch>

• make sure install coffeescript
• make sure have sketchtool on your PATH
• If errors cd into importer-server/ and then run mkdir -p tmp/test/extracted; mkdir output before executing the script
