I’m trying to iterate over all layers in the document to get the “layerID” property for each layer.
This is easy for the “name” property using
const photoshop = window.require("photoshop").app;
const activeDocument = await photoshop.activeDocument;
const layers = await activeDocument.layers;
for (i = 0; i < layers.length; i++){
let layerName = await layers[i].name;
console.log(layerName)
}
But is there way to do this for the “layerID” property instead of the “name” property? I don’t see a way to do it with an API, and batchPlay doesn’t accept “layers[i]” as a reference.
Try
let layer_id = await layers[i]._id;
Alternatively, you can use:
const allLayer_ID = layers.map(layer => layer._id);
console.log("allLayer_ID", allLayer_ID)
Now allLayer_ID is an array with PS stack layer IDs from top to bottom.
Yeah, that’s it. Thank you. I tried:
layers[i].id
layers[i].ID
layers[i].layerID
layers[i].layerId
and probably about a half dozen more.
Is this documented somewhere? I couldn’t find the documentation on layers[i].name either, but had used it successfully previously, so figured there must be and “id” option too.
Yep. Using the DevTools Console, you can spot some props:
