A collection of Sketch Plugins for creating placeholder images.
It allows you to insert a customized placeholder image into any Sketch document from a number of different placeholder image services.
There are two different ways to install Day Player. Official Sketch Plugin installation documentation can be found in the plugin docs.
- Using a command line app (Terminal, iTerm, etc) navigate to the Sketch Plugins directory. This is different depending on your set up. If you're unsure, open Sketch and go to the Plugins menu > Reveal Plugins Folder
- Once you're in the Plugins directory
git clone https://github.com/tylergaw/day-player.gitor your fork. - You can find the plugins in the Plugins Menu > day-player
- If you're reading this on GitHub, there should be a Download Zip button to the right of this text. Download the zip file.
- Open your Sketch Plugins folder by going to the Plugins menu > Reveal Plugins Folder
- Unzip the Day Player zip file. Place the entire folder in the Sketch plugins folder
- You can change the name of that folder to anything you want.
- You can find the plugins in the Plugins Menu > day-player (or the name you gave it)
- Open a new or existing Sketch document
- Plugins > Menu > day-player > Choose the service you want an image from
- Update the options to your liking, hit OK
- The image should be created on the canvas
If you want the image created on a specific artboard or within a group, select the artboard or group before running the plugin.
Day Player 2.x works with Sketch 3.3+ only. If you are using an earlier version of Sketch, use Day Player 1.1.0.
You'll need the latest release of Sketch 3, version 3.0.2. It's in the App Store. This version is needed because I'm making use of features that are available now that they've switched from JSTalk to CocoaScript. Mainly the COSAlertWindow class.
