Detect Shape Layer Path

[Julian Chojnacki]

Hi Michael,

you can check if a layer is a shape layer like this:

isShapeLayer = thisLayer.content instanceof Group;
isShapeLayer; // Returns 1/true or 0/false

Regarding the path detection: do you explicitly need to check for Bezier Paths, or would it be enough to check for any existing content (groups, primitives, paths)?

The latter could look like this:

hasContent = thisLayer.content.numProperties > 0;
hasContent; // Returns 1/true or 0/false

Both combined:

L = thisLayer;
isShapeLayer = L.content instanceof Group;
hasContent = L.content.numProperties > 0;
isShapeLayer && hasContent; // Returns 1/true or 0/false

Thanks very much! This is what I needed 🙂
