# AbstractConnect
### A Design-Token extractor for teams using Abstract & Javascript
[![NPM Version and link](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/abstractconnect)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/abstractconnect)

This package retrieves symbols from a specified sketch file stored in abstract, models the data neatly and transposes sketch format styles into more webdev(tm) friendly values.

### Usage

```javascript
import { getSymbols } from 'abstractconnect';

getSymbols({
filter: symbol => symbol.name === 'MySymbol'
}).then(({ MySymbol }) => {

//select your layer by name
const MyLayer = MySymbol.layers.MyLayerName

//do whatever it is you want to do with design information
const someCSS = `
font-size: ${MyLayer.style.text.fontSize}px;
background: ${MyLayer.style.background};
`;

//etc
});

```
#### getSymbols
takes a single parameter, an object with config:
- `filter`: expects a standard js filter function
- `raw`: set to `true` to get the 'raw' symbol data from sketch
- `fromSHA`: target a specific commit in abstract
- `withFS`: force download to FS (ends up in the TEMP_PATH setup var below)

### Setup

This package is configured using environment values. Simplest setup is to drop a `.env` file in your project directory.

```
ABSTRACT_TOKEN=
ABSTRACT_PROJECT_ID=
ABSTRACT_FILE_NAME=
ABSTRACT_BRANCH=
LOG_LEVEL=
TEMP_PATH=/temp

```

**finding your project id**
The simplest way to find your project id is to open your project in browser, and collect the id from the url: `https://app.abstract.com/projects//`;
