cordova-res

Resource Generator

This tool will crop and resize JPEG and PNG source images to generate images for modern iOS and Android devices.

cordova-res must run at the root of a Cordova project, such as:

resources/
├── icon.png
└── splash.png
config.xml

• resources/icon.png must be at least 1024×1024px
• resources/splash.png must be at least 2732×2732px

Android Adaptive Icons are also supported. If you choose to use them, create the following additional file(s):

• resources/android/icon-foreground.png must be at least 432×432px
• resources/android/icon-background.png must be at least 432×432px

If adaptive icons are used, regular Android icons are not generated.

A color may also be used for the icon background by specifying the --icon-background-source option with a hex color code, e.g. --icon-background-source #FFFFFF.

Install

$ npm install -g cordova-res

Usage

See the help documentation on the command line with the --help option.

$ cordova-res --help

Programmatic API

cordova-res can be used programmatically.

CommonJS Example

const run = require('cordova-res');

await run();

TypeScript Example

run() takes an options object described by the interface Options. If options are provided, resources are generated in an explicit, opt-in manner. In the following example, only Android icons and iOS splash screens are generated.

import { Options, run } from 'cordova-res';

const options: Options = {
  directory: '/path/to/project',
  resourcesDirectory: 'resources',
  logstream: process.stdout, // Any WritableStream
  platforms: {
    android: { icon: { sources: ['resources/icon.png'] } },
    ios: { splash: { sources: ['resources/splash.png'] } },
  },
};

await run(options);
