Grid & Layout Components

These are for setting up grids and layouts in Sketch. You create all of them in Sketch by creating Groups (⌘G) and renaming the groups accordingly.

{container}

{container}

Creates a Bootstrap Container element. This is the outermost element in a Bootstrap grid.

Note: You can also have {container} elements inside of {col} elements (known as nesting).

Supports:

Since: v0.0.5

How to add in Sketch:

Create a text node (T)
Group that text node (⌘+G)
Rename group {container}
Delete text node or name it {text}

{container-fluid}

{container-fluid}

Creates a Bootstrap Container-fluid element. This element (as opposed to {container}) always covers 100% of the available width (screensize or, if nested, the width of the parent {col} element)

Supports:

Since: v0.0.5

How to add in Sketch:

Create a text node (T)
Group that text node (⌘+G)
Rename group {container-fluid}
Delete text node or name it {text}

{row}

{row}

Creates a Bootstrap Row element. A {row} is a direct child to {container} or {container-fluid}. This element's height is always at least as high as the corresponding element in the Sketch document.

Supports:

Pro tip!

By adding the Bootstrap 4 class no-gutters you will remove gutters from child {col}.

Example:

{row} [no-gutters]

Since: v0.0.5

How to add in Sketch:

Create a text node (T)
Group that text node (⌘+G)
Rename group {row}
Delete text node or name it {text}

{col}

{col}

Creates a Bootstrap Column element. A {col} is a direct child to {row}. {col} can contain {container} or {container-fluid} elements (Known as nesting). It is within this element you place all your content.

Supports:

Since: v0.0.5

How to add in Sketch:

Create a text node (T)
Group that text node (⌘+G)
Rename group {col}
Delete text node or name it {text}

{group}

{group}

This is a structural component used as a helper to align it’s child-elements (vertically or horizontally). It supports classes, but not Sketch-styling.

Horizontally:

If you, within a {group} place X number of Sketch2React elements next to each other horizontally, {group} will make sure they end up horizontally in code. They will also be automatically centered vertically.

The remaining space (the difference/delta between the child-elements total width and the {group}’s own width) will be distributed evenly between the children.

Vertically:

If you, within a {group} place X number of Sketch2React elements stacked vertically in Sketch, {group} will make sure they end up vertically in code.

The remaining space (the difference/delta between the child-elements total height and the {group}’s own height) will be distributed evenly between the children.

Supports:

Since: v0.6.0

{group-fixed}

{group-fixed}

This element is identical to {group} except that it always keeps the same width (taken from Sketch) even when you resize it’s parent component (e.g. a {col}).

Note! {group-fixed} is never wider that the size of it's parent element.

Supports:

Since: v0.6.0

{div}

A generic component well suited for implementing things such as other grid systems (e.g. MaterialUI grid) or construct your own components!

Since: 1.6.4 pre-release

Basic Components

These are for common design tasks such as texts, images & backgrounds. You create all of them in Sketch by using the Shape Tools. Images you import.

{text}

{text}

The text-layers created in Sketch needs to be named {text} in order for the code app to find them and parse them properly. By default {text} generates an HTML paragraph tag.

You can set which kind of HTML element should be created by specifying e.g. {text.span}. Available types are:

{text.p} (same as default {text}) - This creates an HTML paragraph tag

{text.p}

{text.span} - This creates an HTML span tag

{text.span}

Supports: Text styles

{image}

{image}

Creates an image with a responsive size. It scales according to available width.

Supports:

Since: v0.0.5

ProTip! Make sure to export/reimport your assets at the @2x resolution so that you don't get fuzzy edges on retina resolution screens.

{image-fixed}

{image-fixed}

Creates an image with fixed width and height (taken from Sketch).

Supports:

Since: v0.0.5

{image-external}

{image-external}

Host images, GIFs and even animated SVGs externally. Download these .sketchfiles and grab the component

Supports:

classes [ ]

Since: v2021.2.7

{rectangle}

{rectangle}

Creates a HTML-div element that is 100% of it's parent elements height and 100% width of it's parent element. This element's height is always at least as high as the corresponding element in the Sketch document.

By adding the Bootstrap class [rounded-circle] to the {rectangle} you'll get a rounded circle.

{rectangle} [rounded-circle]

This is a Sketch "Rectangle"-Shape

Pro tip! This is an awesome way to create responsive wireframes 🎉

Supports:

Since: v0.0.55

{BG}

{BG}

Can be a rectangle or an image.

Pro tip! Fill the {BG} with a nice linear gradient for really nice website backgrounds that are super lightweight in size. Use {container-fluid} and put the {BG} like below:

Since: v0.0.5

Supports: Layer styles

{oval}

{oval}

Using the O inside of Sketch you can create an oval element.

Supports:

Since: v0.60

Fluid fonts

Pro tip! By adding the class js-font-fluid-12 you will have fluid font-size. The last part (12) refers to the number of px the font will span between. This is also dependent of the artboard size.

First example

You have a mobile-size artboard (576px wide).
You have a {text} with font-size 18px.
You have a {text} with the class js-font-fluid-10

{text} [js-font-fluid-10]

The font-size will then flow between 18px at the smallest screen-size and 28px at the largest screen-size.

Second example

You have a desktop-size artboard (>576px wide).
You have a {text} with front-size 18px.
You have a {text} with the class js-font-fluid-12

{text} [js-font-fluid-12]

The font-size will then flow between 6px at the smallest screen-size and 18px at the largest screen-size.

Supports:

Since: v0.0.5

Updates: v0.0.55 - Fluid font support
