Javascript for using Asset Export

[placeit_1800]

I'm trying to create a code that selects the whole artboard and drags it to the Asset Export to save them as svg and png. Is it possible?

Hi @placeit_1800, here is a script I wrote last year that export in various formats. Perhaps you will learn something that will help. You need to edit it to suit your needs, in particular the export paths.

Thank m1b!
In the end I used 

ExportOptionsSVG() and 

ExportOptionsPNG24()

Thanks for the snippet!
