TextLayerCreateOptions

An object literal can be constructed with any of the following properties and passed to Document.createTextLayer. As a type, TextLayerCreateOptions can be used in Typescript development.

Note: When using the position option, keep in mind that the top-left corner of the text layer will vary based on the properties. When using the Text Tool, the click sets the bottom-left corner of the layer. The position option here uses that bottom-left corner. A value of {x: 0, y: 0}` will likely result in the new layer not appearing "on the canvas" since it landed just above at y of 0. For this reason, the default position is the center of the document.

Copy
const options = {
  name: "myTextLayer",
  contents: "Hello, World!",
  fontSize: 24,
  position: {x: 200, y: 300}
};
await require('photoshop').app.activeDocument.createTextLayer(options);
