stylus-spritesmith-brunch

Adds Stylus support to Brunch with automatic sprite sheet generation.

Usage

Install the plugin via npm with npm install --save stylus-spritemith-brunch.

Or, do manual install:

  • Add "stylus-spritesmith-brunch": "x.y.z" to package.json of your Brunch app.
  • If you want to use the master branch of the plugin, add "stylus-spritesmith-brunch": "git+ssh://git@github.com:jas/stylus-spritesmith-brunch.git".

Note: This plugin is a replacement for stylus-brunch.

Using Sprites

This plugin defines Stylus mixins, variables, and functions that make using sprites in your stylesheets almost effortless.

Just drop images into app/assets/images/sprites, and a sprite sheet will be compiled to public/images/spritesheets/default.png.

If you need to configure the input and output directories, reference the Plugin Options section.

Mixin

The sprite mixin is the easiest way to use a sprite image. To use the mixin, you must first import it into your stylesheets.

@import "sprites"

Then use it like so...

.logo {
  sprite('logo.png') // finds "icon-star.png" in default sprite sheet
}

If you have multiple sprite sheets, a second argument can be given to specify the sprite sheet to which the image belongs.

.icon-star {
  sprite('icon-star.png', 'icons') // finds "icon-star.png" in sprite sheet named "icons"
}

Variables and Functions

The following variables and functions are also available for use in your stylesheets.

Variable Type Description
sprite-sheets List List of sprite sheets generated
default-sprite-sheet String Value of config option plugins.sprites.defaultSheet
extend-sprite-sheets Boolean Value of config option plugins.sprites.useExtendDirective

Sprite Sheet Functions

These functions return values about a given sprite-sheet.

Function Description
sprite-sheet-path String — absolute path to the sprite sheet image
sprite-sheet-width Unit, px — width of an entire sprite sheet
sprite-sheet-height Unit, px — height of an entire sprite sheet

Sprite Images

These functions return values about a given image. A second, optional sprite-sheet argument can be given to specify the sprite sheet to which the image belongs.

Function Description
sprite-image-width Unit, px — width of an individual sprite image
sprite-image-height Unit, px — height of an individual sprite image
sprite-image-x Unit, px — x-position of a sprite
sprite-image-y Unit, px — y-position of a sprite
