plugin Callable by Command Line? (like or with sketchtool)

[dimitrieh]

@utom This is an awesome plugin, congrats on the work already done on this!

I was wondering if we could call this plugin to generate exports from the command line, like www.sketchapp.com/tool/ ?

something like: sketchtool --useplugin sketch-measure:spec-export -o outputfolder/ sketchfile.sketch

or

sketch-measure --spec-export -o outputfolder/ sketchfile.sketch

That would be great!

I discussed this idea with the Sketch team and they told me :

that's currently not possible, but it's definitely a good idea, so I've filed a request in our issue tracker and we'll see what we can do : )

@SUPK187 thats amazing news ;)

@SUPK187 check the current implementation we use at GitLab ;) https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-design#repository-superpowers-

@dimitrieh & @utom

We have added a feature to sketchtool that allows it to tell Sketch to run plugins (I should probably document this on a new thread). Try running sketchtool run with SketchTool 43 : )

@kevinbaes very nice!

@utom how would we be able to run this with sketchtool run ? 😄

sketchtool run com.utom.measure commandExport --application=/Applications/Sketch\ Beta.app test.sketch doesn't seem to work

@kevinbaes did you figure out how to use this? :)

[kevinbaes]

@dimitrieh No... :(
