My Sketch Plugins

First, download Sketch Runner to help you install these plugins easier. It's like Spotlight (or Alfred) for Sketch.

These are the plugins I can count on to get the job done. Now, since there is such a huge variety, don't feel like you have to take my word and download every single one. Even I don't have every one of these installed on my machine right now 🙃

This was compiled for the attendees of "A Really Good Beginner Sketch Workshop for Designers" for the Columbus Web Group, but why not share the love?

Alrighty, on the with the show 🎉

    var docViewTop = $window.scrollTop();
    var docViewBottom = docViewTop + $window.height();

    var elemTop = $elem.offset().top;
    var elemBottom = elemTop + $elem.height();

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics

• elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent
