Clone node

[1111357]

Good day!

How can i clone or copy node?

I want get selection nodes from page (currentPage.selection)

Clone selection nodes and group

Export group to image and submit image to REST API url

Or is there another way, to get one image from selection nodes?

Need NODES (all) save to one IMAGE

I know, that i can group nodes, and group export to image…

But group with original nodes are not good for me, don’t want doing manipulation with original user nodes

Excelent if i take selection nodes, create temp group with clone selection nodes, export image and remove temp group

You can clone each node by calling node.clone(), push this cloned node to an array and then put this array into figma.group(nodesArray, parentNode) to create a group from them. group · Figma Developers

You can clone each node by calling node.clone(), push this cloned node to an array and then put this array into figma.group(nodesArray, parentNode) to create a group from them.

Property ‘clone’ does not exist on type ‘SceneNode’.

  switch (msg.type) {
    case MessageTypes.select:
      const { currentPage } = figma
      const selectedNode = currentPage.selection;

      if (selectedNode.length > 0) {

        const clonedNodes: SceneNode[] = []

        selectedNode.forEach(node => clonedNodes.push(node.clone()))

        const group = figma.group(clonedNodes, currentPage)
      }
      break;
    case MessageTypes.cancel:
      figma.closePlugin();
      break;
  }

Not work

selectedNode.forEach(node => clonedNodes.push(JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(node.clone()))))

Get all nodes that are red

In simplest terms, this is TypeScript warning you about the fact that a specific property you are trying to access may not be present on the nodes depending on the type. It’s a TypeScript error, which doesn’t mean your code is wrong, it means TypeScript thinks it’s wrong. It knows that findAll function and other similar functions can return all types of nodes (SceneNode), and it doesn’t know that your condition will only return objects of a specific type. There are four ways to “fix” this: U…

You are right, thank you very much!

Ts ignore help me =) and nodes success cloned and grouped

// @ts-ignore
selectedNode.forEach(node => clonedNodes.push(node.clone()))

@ts-ignore will disable TS for the rest of the file. Maybe you can do: (node as ComponentNode).clone()
