Takes a Sketch file, and generates Elm out of it. This is particularly useful if you want to quickly export some part of a design into Elm.
This is a work in progress. PRs are welcome!
This readme is also available in:
We use elm-format in order to format the output correctly. It is recommeneded that you have this installed globally, via
npm install -g elm-format
Installing the elm-sketch-importer itself is pretty easy.
npm install -g elm-sketch-importer
Usage: [sketchfile]
Options:
-h, --help Show help [boolean]
-o, --output Configure the output directory for generated Elm
[default: "generated"]
--ef, --elmformat Specify the location of the elm-format binary
[default: "elm-format"]
Examples:
elm-sketch-importer ~/Documents/example.sketch

Right now, long text is not correctly exported. This is down to the fact that BPLists are a little difficult to parse in Elm. Support will be coming soon, once I've finished the parser!

This roadmap intends to be a rough priority list. No dates nor time are fixed -- but the more PRs to help, the faster things get done :)
- Relative layout instead of fixed pixels
- Full support for importing Sketch files
- Make sure that no features remain unsupported
- Export views to Sketch
- Generating elm-css or style-element based views
