Try use Sketch Dynamic Button. It's primarily for buttons, but it should work well for the thing you want to achieve. See more: github.com/fuggfuggfugg/sketch-dynamic-button-3.5

I don't see the need for a plugin for that:


Create a text-layer (T) and set the width to auto.
Then add a rectangle (R), set a background color and give the rectangle the same width & height properties as your text-layer.
Then select both and align them to each other (horizontal & vertical centering) and send the rectange behind the text-layer.
