cordova-icon-cli

cordova-icon

Automatic icon resizing for Cordova. Create an icon in the root folder of your Cordova project and use cordova-icon to automatically resize and copy it for all the platforms your project supports (currenty works with iOS and Android).

Installation

 $ sudo npm install cordova-icon-cli -g

Usage

Create an icon.png file in the root folder of your cordova project and run:

 $ cordova-icon

To specify a custom splash image or config file use it like this:

$ cordova-icon --icon path/to/icon --config /path/to/config     

For optimal results, your file has to be square, and at least 180*180px. To be future-proof, since the generated file dimensions are going to evolve, you should probably use 512*512px or 1024*1024px.

Creating a cordova-cli hook

Since the execution of cordova-icon is pretty fast, you can add it as a cordova-cli hook to execute before every build. To create a new hook, go to your cordova project and run:

$ mkdir hooks/after_prepare
$ vi hooks/after_prepare/cordova-icon.sh

Paste the following into the hook script:

#!/bin/bash
cordova-icon

Then give the script +x permission:

$ chmod +x hooks/after_prepare/cordova-icon.sh

That's it. Now every time you cordova build, the icons will be auto generated.
