ExportSlices

Important: Athens (2025.1) introduced fundamental changes to Sketch. API documentation may not be up to date.

Triggered whenever the user exports some artboards, layers or slices

Action Context

The action context for this action contains two keys:

document: the document that the change occurred in. Note: currently, this is an instance of MSImmutableDocumentData, and not the more usual MSDocument instance. This is likely to be corrected in a future update of Sketch.
exports: a list of the items that were exported. Each entry in this list is a dictionary – see Exports List below for more details.

Exports List

Each entry in the exports property of the action context is a dictionary containing two keys:

request: an MSExportRequest object, which contains the details of the export, such as the scale, the format, whether trimming was enabled, and so on.
path: the path of the exported file on disc. Examining the file extension of this path is a quick way to filter out exports of a particular type (eg “.svg”).

Example

For an example of this action, see the SVGO Export Plugin
