Set "Export group contents only"

evan-dickinson

I have a plugin that creates a new slice, and I want to set the "Export group contents only" setting to true. How can I do that?

I can't find anything relevant in MSSliceLayer or MSExportOptions.

if (slice.parentGroup().class() == "MSLayerGroup") {
    slice.exportOptions().setLayerOptions(2);
    context.document.reloadInspector();
}

Ashung is this assuming the slice is selected? How can set this property if my slice layer is not selected.

I keep getting error:

TypeError: exportSlice.exportOptions is not a function

For reference I'm using the following to create my slice:

let Slice = sketch.Slice
let exportSlice = new Slice({
})

Thanks! That worked perfectly.

Don’t think that option is exposed in the sketch JS API just yet. You can do something like this:

let sketch = require('sketch');
let Slice = sketch.Slice
let Rectangle = sketch.Rectangle

let document = sketch.getSelectedDocument()
let parentGroup = document.pages[0].layers[0].layers[0] //position your slice inside some group

let exportSlice = new Slice({
  frame: new Rectangle(10,10,40,40),
  parent: parentGroup
})
exportSlice.sketchObject.exportOptions().layerOptions = 2

got it working:

exportSlice.sketchObject.exportOptions().setLayerOptions(2)
context.document.reloadInspector();
