How to get shared style of symbol override?

Slaaavo

Hey guys,
I made a plugin that does this:

get layer
get its shared style
getLibrary of that style
based on the name of the style, find its "buddy" in the same library
assign new style to the layer

It's easy with regular layers, but how do I do this with a symbol? When I try to do override.sharedStyle I get always null. It only exposes sharedStyleId.

I also tried to get the style by finding it in references, but I can't seem to get it. Check out what I've tried in playground

const doc = sketch.getSelectedDocument()
const selectedLayers = doc.selectedLayers
let Library = sketch.Library
let libraries = Library.getLibraries()
let textStyleReferences = []

for (let library of libraries) {
  textStyleReferences = textStyleReferences.concat(library.getImportableTextStyleReferencesForDocument(doc))
}

let sharedStyleImportedId = selectedLayers.layers[0].overrides[1].value
let sharedStyleId = sharedStyleImportedId.substring(sharedStyleImportedId.search(/\[[A-Z|0-9|\-]*\]/) + 1, sharedStyleImportedId.length-1) //this isolates the layer ID
let sharedStyle = textStyleReferences.find(layerStyle => layerStyle.id == sharedStyleId)
console.log(sharedStyle) // I get null

Ah, remember that shared styles can come from two places - the current document or any libraries. Looks like your textStyleReferences only include styles from libraries. You will also want to append doc.sharedTextStyles to that array of style objects.

kevgski that's not what I mean, I'm sorry I didn't make myself clear. I meant that the style comes from a library, but its ID is in a form of FBFF821E-20F3-48C5-AEDC-89F97A8C2344[D1A683E0-5333-4EBE-977C-48F64F934E99] and I can't find it using this id. When it's simple ID without the brackets, it's ok. But with this I can't find it. I tried to isolate the layer id just within the brackets (that's what the regex is doing there) but still nothing. Any help?

So, this is weird. When I appended the doc.sharedTextStyles and just put the entire value there, it worked. Why is a reference to style in a library in document?
