# 📏 Sketch Constraints

![Banner](docs/[email protected])

Sketch Constraints is a plugin that integrates constraints in Sketch to lay out layers. These constraints are relative to the parent, either a group or an artboard.

[Constraints are now available natively in Sketch. 🎉](#native)

## Usage

### Edit Constraints `⌘ + E`



### Update Layout `⌘ + L`



### Example



[👀 Watch on Vimeo](https://vimeo.com/140962822)

## Installation

### Using Sketch Runner

With Sketch Runner, just go to the `install` command and search for `Sketch Constraints`. Runner allows you to manage plugins and do much more to speed up your workflow in Sketch. [Download Runner here](http://www.sketchrunner.com).



### Manually

Make sure you have the latest version of Sketch installed. **(Sketch 40+)**

1. [Download the ZIP file of this repository](https://github.com/bouchenoiremarc/Sketch-Constraints/archive/master.zip)

2. Double click on `Sketch Constraints.sketchplugin`

## Notes

* **Constraints are not relative to other layers, only to the parent.**

* `Update Layout` updates every artboard of the current page.

* When a group is resized, all the children layers are resized. If you want a child layer to keep its size, check `Width` and/or `Height`.

## Inspiration

## Native

As of [Version 44](https://sketchapp.com/updates/#version-44), constraints are available natively in Sketch. 🎉 It's similar to Sketch Constraints except that the constraints are based on current value **only**.
