Before you run CLI utility, you must prepare your assets folder.
Every folder inside assets is sprite sheet with parameters.
Parameters is specified in JSON file named config.json
//config.json
{
"border": 2, //gap between images
"sheetDimension": 1024 //size of texture
}As a result, this is how the structure will look like:
📦assets
┣ 📂custom
┃ ┣ 📜config.json
┃ ┣ 📜dot.png
┃ ┣ 📜filled-circle.png
┃ ┣ 📜inner.png
┃ ┗ 📜lines.png
┣ 📂flags
┃ ┣ 📜ac.png
┃ ┣ 📜ad.png
┃ ┣ 📜ae.png
┃ ┣ 📜af.png
┃ ┣ 📜config.json
┗ 📂lucide
┃ ┣ 📜accessibility.png
┃ ┣ 📜activity-square.png
┃ ┣ 📜config.json
After this step you can execute command:
spritegen --a ./assets/ --o ./output/
The output is divided into folders that match the folder names in assets.
In a folder called by name of sprite sheet, you can see the texture and JSON file with meta-info and coordinates.
{
"name": "custom",
"coords": {
"inner": "2 2 512 512", //here is format "x y width heigth"
"lines": "518 2 512 512",
"dot": "1034 2 128 128",
"filled-circle": "1166 2 64 64"
}
}There is no API and it not planned yet.
