Alternatives? about sprite-factory HOT 6 CLOSED

I've used sprite-factory with no problems in the past, but since I moved my workflow to node, I'm using Sprite Packer now, which runs on Grunt as a task.

Hey,

Thanks for reply

How easy is this to setup if you have no Node/Grunt experience?

It's not that hard, it's different though. To make it easy I've setup a simple example here, so to get it running you need to do this:

• install node.js
• install grunt globally: (sudo) npm install grunt-cli -g
• clone the example
• install the dependencies: npm install
• run the task: grunt spritepacker

This task will create an image on img folder and a sass fille on sass.

Hope that helps.
Cheers!

Hey,

Thanks so much for this - really kind

I got your cloned repo' grunting sprites straight away (I guess it's configured perfectly). More than I can say for https://github.com/karfcz/grunt-sprite-packer , which has a lot more cruft - not the easiest thing for a beginner to grunt.

After taking what a gleaned from http://gruntjs.com/getting-started and your repo' I managed to get the https://github.com/karfcz/grunt-sprite-packer clone up and running by adding a few directories (the reason I couldn't get it working earlier).

Thanks again,

PS have you looked into SVG tools of this ilk?

@ldexterldesign I've never used Grunt to deal with SVGs, but I think https://github.com/sindresorhus/grunt-svgmin might help.

Great, thanks - will check it out
