css-inline-images
Simple node module for inlining images as base64 strings in CSS.
Installation
Install with NPM like any other package
npm install css-inline-images
Usage
Append ?embed
to the urls of the images that you want inlined
The module will search for url()
declarations in your CSS code so its use is not limited to background images.
Options
-
webRoot
The web root of your web project. This property will be used as a start point for all file paths. This is enough for absolute urls (e.g.url(/images/file.gif?embed)
) -
path
Used in addition towebRoot
to determine the paths for relative urls (e.g.url(images/file.gif?embed)
)
Example
With these options the following paths will be used to locate the images in the filesystem
webRoot: 'web' path: 'otherImages'
url(/images/file.gif?embed)
=>web/images/file.gif
url(file.gif?embed)
=>web/otherImages/file.gif
