| 16 | + |
| 17 | +```javascript |
| 18 | +var postcss = require('postcss'); |
| 19 | +var sprites = require('postcss-sprites'); |
| 20 | +var opts = { |
| 21 | + externalStyle: './dist/sprite.css', |
| 22 | + spritePath : './dist/images', |
| 23 | + spriteName : 'sprite.png', |
| 24 | + retina : true |
| 25 | +}; |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +postcss(sprites(opts)) |
| 28 | + .process(css, { from: 'src/app.css', to: 'app.css' }) |
| 29 | + .then(function (result) { |
| 30 | + fs.writeFileSync('app.css', result.css); |
| 31 | + }); |
| 32 | +``` |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +## Options (plugin) |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +#### spriteName |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +Type: `String` |
| 39 | +Default: `sprite.png` |
| 40 | +Example: `all.png` |
| 41 | +Required: `true` |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Defines the base of output sprite. Base means that if you will group your sprites by some criteria, name will change. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +#### spritePath |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +Type: `String` |
| 48 | +Default: `null` |
| 49 | +Example: `./dist` |
| 50 | +Required: `true` |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +Can define relative path of references in the output stylesheet. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +#### externalStyle |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +Type: `String` |
| 57 | +Default: `false` |
| 58 | +Example: `./dist/sprite.css` |
| 59 | +Required: `false` |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +Can define standalone CSS file that will be generated from the sprite. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +#### filterBy |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +Type: `Function[], Function` |
| 66 | +Default: `[]` |
| 67 | +Example: [filterByFolder](#) |
| 68 | +Required: `false` |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +Defines which filters apply to images found in the stylesheet. Each filter will be called with an image object. Each filter must return `Boolean` or thenable `Promise`, that will be resolved with `Boolean`. Each filter applies in series. |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +Built in filters: |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +- based on `fs.exists`, which is used to remove non existing images. |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +#### groupBy |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +Type: `Function[], Function` |
| 79 | +Default: `[]` |
| 80 | +Example: `./dist/sprite.css` |
| 81 | +Required: `false` |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +Defines logic of how to group images found in the stylesheet. Each grouper called with an image object. Each filter must return `String|Null` or thenable `Promise`, that will be resolved with `String|Null`. Each grouper applies in series. |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +Built in groupers: |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +- based on `@2x` image naming syntax, will produce `sprite.@{number}x.png` naming. (`@{number}x` image group). |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +#### retina |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +Type: `Boolean` |
| 92 | +Default: `false` |
| 93 | +Example: `true` |
| 94 | +Required: `false` |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +Defines whether or not to search for retina mark in the filename. If true then it will look for `@{number}x` syntax. For example: `image@2x.png`. |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +#### verbose |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +Type: `Boolean` |
| 101 | +Default: `false` |
| 102 | +Example: `true` |
| 103 | +Required: `false` |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +Suppress `console.log` messages. |
