Parameters

​

Response

{
  "name": "Button"
}

​

Examples

​

Move a button to the top-left

await move_node({
  nodeId: "123:456",
  x: 0,
  y: 0
});

​

Position an element in the center

// Assuming a 1920x1080 canvas
await move_node({
  nodeId: "789:012",
  x: 960,
  y: 540
});

​

Offset an element from its original position

// First get the node's current position
const nodeInfo = await get_node_info({ nodeId: "123:456" });
const currentX = nodeInfo.absoluteBoundingBox.x;
const currentY = nodeInfo.absoluteBoundingBox.y;

// Move it 100px right and 50px down
await move_node({
  nodeId: "123:456",
  x: currentX + 100,
  y: currentY + 50
});

​

Notes

• Coordinates are in pixels and relative to the canvas origin (top-left)
• Moving a parent frame will move all its children with it
• For precise alignment, use get_node_info to retrieve current position first
• Negative coordinates are allowed and will position nodes outside the visible canvas area
