Create folder & file plugin Sketch

I'm trying to create a plugin for Sketch that creates a folder and a file inside it on a specific location.

Since the sketch plugins are written with JavaScript I've been searching how to create a folder and/or a file with JavaScript, and then think about the path, but i'm stuck, i couldn't find the answer so i decided to open a thread myself.

The question is: How can i create a folder/file with JavaScript? and how i can choose where i put it?

Any feedback is welcome I'm new to posting here and a noob with programming so feel free to redirect me to documentation and/or tutorials that may be useful for my issue.

Solution

  • The simple answer is you can't. Imagine if any old website could create files and folders on your disk whenever it liked. The security implications would be horrendous.
