Sprite Generator for brunch. It uses Spritesmith and spritesheet-templates to generate sprites in language agnostic styles.
If using Less, SASS, etc., this should be ordered before their brunch compilers in package.json so that sprite styles compile before other styles. To improve speed, consider an engine such as canvassmith or gmsmith. Check out the Spritesmith website for details.
sprites: {
path: 'app/assets/images/sprites', // Path to your sprites folder
destCSS: 'app/css/sprites.css', // Destination sass/less/stylus files
destSprites: 'app/assets' // Destination of generated sprite files
cssFormat: 'css', // less, sass, scss, stylus
algorithm: 'top-down', // algorithm: top-down, left-right, diagonal (\ format), alt-diagonal
engine: 'pixelsmith', // pixelsmith, canvassmith, gmsmith
imgOpts: {
format: 'auto', // auto, jpg, png (If auto is used and there is png and jpg in a folder the sprite will be jpg)
quality: 90 // Quality of the output image
}
}
It expects the following folder structure and uses the folder name as first value and the filename as the second
app/assets/images/sprites/icons
icona.png
iconb.png
app/assets/images/sprites/backgrounds
For CSS languages/preprocessors, the plugin only generates the variables and the mixins. The mixins have to be called from another stylesheet to be included in your project.
.icon-name {
.sprite(@icon-name);
}
If you want to use git version of plugin, add
"sprite-brunch": "git+ssh://[email protected]:aedryan/sprite-brunch.git"
