Generate skeleton screen from sketch

Skeleton screens are often used in our web applications, but how to generate skeleton screens quickly and accurately is a problem.

Sketch is a commonly used UI design software. It is a good way to generate a skeleton screen through a sketch design draft.

npm i sketch-skeleton -g

skeleton build demo.sketch -d destDir

You can get demo.sketch here.

If you don't set dest dir, the tool will use working-dir/sketch-file-name instead.

So you can view measure pages in destDir.

skeleton build receives the following parameters：

• -d, --dest <dir> dest directory which html skeleton pages generate to.
• -l, --useLoading <useLoading> add loading in generated skeleton. (default: "true")
• -a, --useAdaptive <useAdaptive> generated skeleton page can be adaptive. (default: "true")
• -m, --generateHtml <generateHtml> generate html skeleton pages. (default: "true")
• -t, --generateTemplate <generateTemplate> generate template skeleton pages. (default: "true")
• -v, --verbose print details when execute commands.

You can use getSketchString to get the skeleton screen content。

parameter：

• sketchFile <String> sketch file path
• options <Object>
  • useLoading <Boolean> add loading in generated skeleton. (default: "true")
  • useAdaptive <Boolean> generated skeleton page can be adaptive. (default: "true")

retrun: <String> skeleton screen content

const { getSketchString } = require('sketch-skeleton')

async function main() {
  const sketch = await getSketchString('demo.sketch')
  console.log('----sketch---:', sketch)
}
main()
