Zeplin XAML Extension

Zeplin extension that generates XAML (Universal Windows Platform) snippets from colors, text styles and layers.

It is open source and available on GitHub.

Samples

Sample colors output:

<Color x:Key="PrimaryColor">#FFFF0000</Color>
<Color x:Key="SecondaryColor">#FF00FF00</Color>
<Color x:Key="TertiaryColor">#FF0000FF</Color>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="PrimaryColorBrush"
                 Color="{StaticResource PrimaryColor}" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="SecondaryColorBrush"
                 Color="{StaticResource SecondaryColor}" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="TertiaryColorBrush"
                 Color="{StaticResource TertiaryColor}" />

Sample text style output:

<Style x:Key="SampleTextStyle"
       TargetType="TextBlock">
    <Setter Property="CharacterSpacing"
            Value="0" />
    <Setter Property="FontFamily"
            Value="SFProText" />
    <Setter Property="FontSize"
            Value="20" />
    <Setter Property="FontStyle"
            Value="Normal" />
    <Setter Property="FontWeight"
            Value="Normal" />
    <Setter Property="Foreground"
            Value="{StaticResource PrimaryColorBrush}" />
    <Setter Property="LineHeight"
            Value="20" />
    <Setter Property="TextTrimming"
            Value="CharacterEllipsis" />
</Style>

Sample text layer output:

<TextBlock Text="Hello"
           Style="{StaticResource SampleTextStyle}"
           TextAlignment="Center">

Sample gradient layer output:

<LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0.5,0.5" 
                     EndPoint="0.5,1">
    <GradientStop Color="{StaticResource SecondaryColor}" 
                  Offset="0" />
    <GradientStop Color="{StaticResource TertiaryColor}" 
                  Offset="1" />
</LinearGradientBrush>

Options

Sort styleguide resources

Toggle whether styleguide resources should be sorted alphabetically or not.

Consolidate duplicates

Define the suffix that indicates that a resource is a duplicate and should be consolidated.

For example, using the value _duplicate would replace all instances of PrimaryColor_duplicate with PrimaryColor in generated snippets.

This is useful when dealing with values that are almost identical (i.e., #FFFFFF vs #FFFFFE) or properties that don't warrant a distinct style (i.e., TextAlignment).

Define TextAlignment on

Pick whether TextAlignment should be defined on Style or TextBlock.

This is useful if you consider text alignment to be part of the layout rather than the style. Can be used in conjunction with duplicate consolidation.

Ignore CharacterSpacing

Toggle whether CharacterSpacing should be generated or not.

Ignore FontFamily

Toggle whether FontFamily should be generated or not.

IgnoreLineHeight

Toggle whether LineHeight should be generated or not.

Add TextTrimming.CharacterEllipsis to all text styles

Toggle whether TextTrimming.CharacterEllipsis should be added to all text styles.

This can be useful to prevent unwanted clipping, considering that the platform's default value is None.

Development

This extension is developed using zem, Zeplin Extension Manager. zem is a command line tool that lets you quickly create and test extensions.
