Convert spritesheet data into CSS or CSS pre-processor data

Package Exports

  • spritesheet-templates

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (spritesheet-templates) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

spritesheet-templates Build status

Convert spritesheet data into CSS or CSS pre-processor data

spritesheet-templates, formerly json2css, was built as part of spritesmith, a tool that converts images into spritesheets and CSS variables.

Getting Started

Install the module with: npm install spritesheet-templates

// Compilation
var templater = require('spritesheet-templates');
templater({
  sprites: [{
    name: 'github', x: 0, y: 0, width: 10, height: 20
  }, {
    name: 'twitter', x: 10, y: 20, width: 20, height: 30
  }, {
    name: 'rss', x: 30, y: 50, width: 50, height: 50
  }],
  spritesheet: {
    width: 80, height: 100, image: 'url/path/to/spritesheet.png'
  }
}, {format: 'stylus'}); /*
// Result stylus
$github_x = 0px;
$github_y = 0px;
...
$github = 0px 0px 0px 0px 10px 20px 80px 100px 'url/path/to/spritesheet.png' 'github';
...
$twitter = 10px 20px -10px -20px 20px 30px 80px 100px 'url/path/to/spritesheet.png' 'twitter';
...
$rss = 30px 50px -30px -50px 50px 50px 80px 100px 'url/path/to/spritesheet.png' 'rss';
...
spriteWidth($sprite) {
  width: $sprite[0];
}
...
sprite($sprite) {
  spriteImage($sprite)
  spritePosition($sprite)
  spriteWidth($sprite)
  spriteHeight($sprite)
}

// Inside of your Stylus
.github-logo {
  sprite($github);
}

spritesheet-templates is exports the funciton templater as its module.exports.

templater(params, options)

Converter for spritesheet/sprite info into spritesheet

  • params Object - Container for parameters
    • items Object[] - Deprecated alternative key to define params.sprites
    • sprites Object[] - Array of objects with coordinate data about each sprite on the spritesheet
        • Object - Container for sprite coordinate data
          • For reference, * symbolizes any index (e.g. params.sprites[0])
          • name String - Name to use for the image
          • x Number - Horizontal coordinate of top-left corner of image
          • y Number - Vertical coordinate of top-left corner of image

        • For example, background-image: url({{spritesheet.image}});
  • options Object - Optional settings
    • spritesheetName String - Prefix to use for all spritesheet variables
      • For example, icons will generate $icons-width/$icons-image/etc in a Stylus template

    • format String - Format to generate output in
    • formatOpts Mixed - Options to pass through to the formatter

Returns:

  • retVal String - Result from specified formatter

Templates

Below are our template options for options.format.

Handlebars-based templates support inheritance via handlebars-layouts (e.g. {{#extend "css"}}). Inherited templates must copy/paste JSON front matter. An example can be found in the Examples section.

css

Ouput CSS variables as CSS rules.

Options:

  • cssSelector Function - Override mapping for CSS selector
    • cssSelector should have signature function (sprite) { return 'selector'; }
    • By default this will return '.icon-' + sprite.name
    • It will receive sprite with all parameters designed for template

Handlebars blocks:

css is a Handlebars based template. We allow for overriding the following sections:

  • {{#content "sprites-comment"}} - Comment before CSS rules
  • {{#content "sprites"}} - CSS rules

Example:

.icon-sprite1 {

  background-position: 0px 0px;
  width: 10px;

Examples

Inheriting from a template

In this example, we will extend the SCSS template to output a minimal set of template data.

It should be noted that we must include the JSON front matter from the original template we are inheriting from to preserve default casing and options.

scss-minimal.handlebars:

{
  // Default options
  'functions': true,
  'variableNameTransforms': ['dasherize']
}

{{#extend "scss"}}
{{#content "sprites"}}
{{#each sprites}}
${{strings.name}}: ({{px.x}}, {{px.y}}, {{px.offset_x}}, {{px.offset_y}}, {{px.width}}, {{px.height}}, {{px.total_width}}, {{px.total_height}}, '{{{escaped_image}}}', '{{name}}', );
{{/each}}
{{/content}}
{{#content "spritesheet"}}
${{spritesheet.strings.name_sprites}}: ({{#each sprites}}${{strings.name}}, {{/each}});
${{spritesheet.strings.name}}: ({{spritesheet.px.width}}, {{spritesheet.px.height}}, '{{{spritesheet.escaped_image}}}', ${{spritesheet.strings.name_sprites}}, );
{{/content}}
{{/extend}}

index.js:

// Load in our dependencies
var fs = require('fs');
var templater = require('spritesheet-templates');

// Register our new template
var scssMinimalHandlebars = fs.readFileSync('scss-minimal.handlebars', 'utf8');
templater.addHandlebarsTemplate('scss-minimal', scssMinimalHandlebars);

// Run our templater
templater({
  sprites: [{
    name: 'github', x: 0, y: 0, width: 10, height: 20
  }, {
    name: 'twitter', x: 10, y: 20, width: 20, height: 30
  }, {
    name: 'rss', x: 30, y: 50, width: 50, height: 50
  }],
  spritesheet: {
    width: 80, height: 100, image: 'url/path/to/spritesheet.png'
  }
}, {format: 'scss-minimal'}); /*
