Version 3.8.3 (29802)
I’ve reviewed .sketch docs and tried many different solutions, but I couldn’t add a MSSliceLayer with the same frame as the selected layer.
So here’s my failed attempt at creating a .sketch script. When I added MSSliceLayer to the current document it’s center point is the current document center point and not the selected layer.
Maybe, I’m missing something simple.
var documentName = context.document.displayName();
var selectedLayers = context.selection;
var selectedCount = selectedLayers.count();
if (selectedCount == 0) {
log('No layers are selected.');
} else {
log('Selected layers:');
for (var i = 0; i < selectedCount; i++) {
var layer = selectedLayers[i];
var sliceLayer = MSSliceLayer.alloc().init();
var rect = MSRect.alloc().init();
rect.x = layer.frame().x();
rect.y = layer.frame().y();
rect.width = layer.frame().width();
rect.height = layer.frame().height();
sliceLayer.frame = rect;
context.document.addLayer(sliceLayer);
}
};###Solution Thanks to BohemianCoding:
var documentName = context.document.displayName();
var selectedLayers = context.selection;
var selectedCount = selectedLayers.count();
if (selectedCount == 0) {
log('No layers are selected.');
} else {
log('Selected layers:');
for (var i = 0; i < selectedCount; i++) {
var layer = selectedLayers[i];
var sliceLayer = MSSliceLayer.sliceLayerFromLayer(layer);
context.document.addLayer(sliceLayer);
}
};As you can see this solution uses MSSliceLayer.sliceLayerFromLayer() which is not apart of the official docs, at least currently, but apart of MSSliceLayer’s unofficial header.
###Extra I've also noticed a few other things not working properly. Updating a MSSliceLayer.frame in order to add a 10px padding,
MSSliceLayer.frame.scaleBy()will update the frame.size, but not maintain its center point. So since I do have access to NSFoundation I can simply call CGRectInset(), which will returns a rectangle that is smaller or larger than the source rectangle, with the same center point, and update MSSliceLayer.rect.
var sliceLayer = MSSliceLayer.sliceLayerFromLayer(layer);
sliceLayer.rect = CGRectInset(sliceLayer.frameForTransforms(), -10, -10)
