How can I check what version of Sketch is running?

perrysmotors

I want to include code in my plugin that checks what version of Sketch is running so I can handle different API versions.

markh

NSBundle.mainBundle().infoDictionary()["CFBundleShortVersionString"]

This will return something like 51.3

It might be better to check for the existence of methods/properties.

markh What would the code look like for checking for the existence of a method? For example:

MSAvailableOverride.isAffectedLayerOrParentHidden()

markh

You could do the following:

MSAvailableOverride.instancesRespondToSelector(NSSelectorFromString("isAffectedLayerOrParentHidden"))

markh Thanks. Works perfectly!

Now I need to figure out how to cope without this method, which seems to have gone missing in Sketch 52.

Alternatively, you can do this:

const sketch = require('sketch')
console.log(sketch.version.sketch) // Sketch version, currently 52
console.log(sketch.version.api) // API version, currently 2.0.0

Hope it helps!
