alonso.torres a0f167d1f2 ✨ Build library files with current features and migrations
The file builder behind @penpot/library pinned the features and
migrations it writes to the ones Penpot 2.7 accepted, so its files
could open there. It now writes the current defaults: the features a
new file gets and every available migration. Generated files were
already in the current format (paths, for one, are stored as path
data), so they now declare fdata/path-data and components/swap-group
as they should, and the import runs no migration on them.

Files built this way need the Penpot version the library is built with,
or a later one.

Penpot Library

A library that exposes a limited set of Penpot's features for programmatic use. Currently, it provides methods to build Penpot files in memory and export them as .penpot files (ZIP archives containing all the necessary data to import them into a Penpot application).

User Guide

How to install

pnpm add @penpot/library

Example of use

import * as penpot from "@penpot/library";
import { createWriteStream } from 'fs';
import { Writable } from "stream";

const context = penpot.createBuildContext();


context.addFile({name: "Test File 1"});
context.addPage({name: "Foo Page"});

context.addBoard({
  name: "Foo Board",
  x: 0,
  y: 0,
  width: 500,
  height: 300,
});

context.closeBoard();
context.closeFile();

// Create a file stream to write the zip to
const output = createWriteStream('sample-stream.zip');

// Wrap Node's stream in a WHATWG WritableStream
const writable = Writable.toWeb(output);
await penpot.exportStream(context, writable);
