tbrasington/rename-layers-based-on-textstyle

A Sketch plugin to rename layers based on the text style applied

rename-layers-based-on-textstyle

What?

This plugin will go through your current pages' text styles and prepend or replace their Text Style name to the layer.

It will go through your local document text styles first, then look for any text styles that are linked from your libraries.

Why?

When developers are picking through tools like InVision and Zeplin they can't easily sync up the style reference to your design system. They only get the attributes of the font like size or letter spacing. This tool allows them to see the style name and reference it with their codebase.

Installation

Either install via Sketchpacks, Sketch Runner or...

1. Download from the release page

Commands

Replace

rename-layers-based-on-textstyle's Issues

This...but also for layer styles

Please and thank you. :)

Doesn't work in Sketch 58

When I use the plugin in Sketch 58, nothing happens. The layers do not rename to the text style, everything remains the same as if I didn't run the plug in.

Sketch 52

Stopped working on Sketch 52
