Convert a set of images into a spritesheet and CSS variables via gulp
This is the official port of grunt-spritesmith, the grunt equivalent of a wrapper around spritesmith.
Alternative output formats include SASS, Stylus, LESS, and JSON.
As of gulp.spritesmith@3.5.0, retina spritesheets/templates are supported. See the Retina parameters section for more information.
gulp.spritesmith?Support us via donations or spread word on Twitter
We are normalizing sprite variables even further to convert any non-alphanumeric/non-dash/non-underscore character to a delimiter character (e.g. -). This allows us to support naming retina sprites with @2x suffixes, to prevent regressions like grunt-spritesmith#137.
We have moved from spritesmith-engine-spec@1.1.0 to spritesmith-engine-spec@2.0.0. This means if you use an custom engine (e.g. gmsmith, canvassmith), then you will need to upgrade it.
npm install my-engine-smith@latest --save-dev
This is enables us to use streaming outputs from engines in a future release.
Additionally, we have added support for buffer and stream content for in-memory engines (e.g. pixelsmith, canvassmith) which resolves #53.
We have completed our integration with streaming outputs from engines. As a result, Vinyl img files will have stream contents which were previously buffers.
If your img pipeline requires Buffer contents, then this can be remedied via vinyl-buffer:
// Throws error due to not supporting streams
spriteData.img.pipe(imagemin());
// Back to operational
var buffer = require('vinyl-buffer');
spriteData.img.pipe(buffer()).pipe(imagemin());
Install the module with: npm install gulp.spritesmith
var gulp = require('gulp');
var spritesmith = require('gulp.spritesmith');
gulp.task('sprite', function () {
var spriteData = gulp.src('images/*.png').pipe(spritesmith({
imgName: 'sprite.png',
cssName: 'sprite.css'
}));
return spriteData.pipe(gulp.dest('path/to/output/'));
});
In addition to the spriteData stream, we offer individual streams for images and CSS. This allows for image optimization and CSS minification.
var gulp = require('gulp');
var buffer = require('vinyl-buffer');
var csso = require('gulp-csso');
var imagemin = require('gulp-imagemin');
var merge = require('merge-stream');
var spritesmith = require('gulp.spritesmith');
gulp.task('sprite', function () {
// Generate our spritesheet
var spriteData = gulp.src('images/*.png').pipe(spritesmith({
imgName: 'sprite.png',
cssName: 'sprite.css'
}));
// Pipe image stream through image optimizer and onto disk
var imgStream = spriteData.img
// DEV: We must buffer our stream into a Buffer for `imagemin`
.pipe(buffer())
.pipe(imagemin())
.pipe(gulp.dest('path/to/image/folder/'));
// Pipe CSS stream through CSS optimizer and onto disk
var cssStream = spriteData.css
.pipe(csso())
.pipe(gulp.dest('path/to/css/folder/'));
// Return a merged stream to handle both `end` events
return merge(imgStream, cssStream);
});
gulp.spritesmith presents the spritesmith function as its module.exports.
spritesmith(params)gulp plugin that returns a transform stream with 2 readable stream properties.
The input/output streams interact with Vinyl objects which are gulp's format of choice.

Repeated parameters have the same properties as above but are repeated for clarity with respect to retina spritesheets.
An example retina spritesheet setup can be found in the Examples section.
We receive both normal and retina sprites from the same gulp.src so please include them in your original glob. (e.g. *.png should include icon-home.png and icon-home@2x.png).
We strongly encourage using the @2x suffix for retina sprites over -retina or -2x. There are known ordering issues caused when sharing a - delimiter between sprite names and the retina suffix (see grunt-spritesmith#137).

The cssTemplate option allows for using a custom template. An example template can be found at:
The parameters passed into your template are known as data. We add some normalized properties via spritesheet-templates for your convenience.

"total_width": 80,
"total_height": 100,
"image": "nested/dir/spritesheet.png",
"escaped_image": "nested/dir/spritesheet.png",
"source_image": "path/to/original/sprite.png",
"offset_x": -10,
"offset_y": -20,

}
}
If you are defining a Handlebars template, then you can inherit from an existing template via handlebars-layouts (e.g. {{#extend "scss"}}). An example usage can be found in the Examples section.
Example usages can be found as:
The cssVarMap option allows customization of the CSS variable names
If you would like to customize CSS selectors in the
csstemplate, please see https://github.com/twolfson/spritesheet-templates#css
Your cssVarMap should be a function with the signature function (sprite). It will receive the same parameters as sprites from Templating except for escaped_image, offset_x, offset_y, and px.
// Prefix all sprite names with `sprite-` (e.g. `home` -> `sprite-home`)
cssVarMap: function (sprite) {
sprite.name = 'sprite_' + sprite.name;
}
// Generates:
// $sprite_fork_x = 0px;
// $sprite_fork_y = 0px;
// As oppposed to default:
// $fork_x = 0px;
// $fork_y = 0px;
An engine can greatly improve the speed of your build (e.g. canvassmith) or support obscure image formats (e.g. gmsmith).
All spritesmith engines adhere to a common specification:
https://github.com/twolfson/spritesmith-engine-spec
This repository adheres to specification version: 2.0.0
Below is a list of known engines with their tradeoffs:
pixelsmith is a node based engine that runs on top of get-pixels and save-pixels.
Key differences: Doesn't support uncommon image formats (e.g. tiff) and not as fast as a compiled library (e.g. canvassmith).
phantomjssmith is a phantomjs based engine. It was originally built to provide cross-platform compatibility but has since been succeeded by pixelsmith.
Requirements: phantomjs must be installed on your machine and on your PATH environment variable. Visit the phantomjs website for installation instructions.
Key differences: phantomjs is cross-platform and supports all image formats.
canvassmith is a node-canvas based engine that runs on top of Cairo.
Requirements: Cairo and [node-gyp][] must be installed on your machine.
Instructions on how to install Cairo are provided in the [node-canvas wiki][].
[node-gyp][] should be installed via npm:
npm install -g node-gyp
Key differences: canvas has the best performance (useful for over 100 sprites). However, it is UNIX only.
[node-canvas wiki]: (https://github.com/LearnBoost/node-canvas/wiki/_pages [node-gyp]: https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp/
gmsmith is a gm based engine that runs on top of either Graphics Magick or Image Magick.
Requirements: Either Graphics Magick or Image Magick must be installed on your machine.
For the best results, install from the site rather than through a package manager (e.g. apt-get). This avoids potential transparency issues which have been reported.
Image Magick is implicitly discovered. However, you can explicitly use it via engineOpts
{
engineOpts: {
imagemagick: true
}
}
Key differences: gmsmith allows for configuring image quality whereas others do not.
In this example, we are using the alt-diagonal algorithm to guarantee no overlap if images overflow.
Configuration:
{
imgName: 'sprite.png',
cssName: 'sprite.styl',
algorithm: 'alt-diagonal'
}
Output:
In this example, we are using the phantomjssmith engine as an alternative to the pixelsmith default.
Requirements:
Install phantomjssmith to our node_modules via npm install.
npm install phantomjssmith
Alternatively, we can use --save or --save-dev to save to our package.json's dependencies or devDependenices.
npm install phantomjssmith --save # Updates {"dependencies": {"phantomjssmith": "1.2.3"}}
npm install phantomjssmith --save-dev # Updates {"devDependencies": {"phantomjssmith": "1.2.3"}}
Configuration:
// var phantomjssmith = require('phantomjssmith');
{
imgName: 'sprite.png',
cssName: 'sprite.styl',
engine: phantomjssmith
}
Output:
The padding option allows for inserting spacing between images.
Configuration:
{
imgName: 'sprite.png',
cssName: 'sprite.styl',
padding: 20 // Exaggerated for visibility, normal usage is 1 or 2
}
Output:
In this example, we will use generate a normal and retina spritesheet via the retinaSrcFilter and retinaImgName parameters.
Configuration:
{
// This will filter out `fork@2x.png`, `github@2x.png`, ... for our retina spritesheet
// The normal spritesheet will now receive `fork.png`, `github.png`, ...
retinaSrcFilter: ['images/*@2x.png'],
imgName: 'sprite.png',
retinaImgName: 'sprite@2x.png',
cssName: 'sprite.styl'
}
Normal spritesheet:
Retina spritesheet:
In this example, we will use cssTemplate with a handlebars template to generate CSS that uses :before selectors.
Template:
{{#sprites}}
.icon-{{name}}:before {
display: block;
background-image: url({{{escaped_image}}});
background-position: {{px.offset_x}} {{px.offset_y}};
width: {{px.width}};
height: {{px.height}};
}
{{/sprites}}
Configuration:
{
imgName: 'sprite.png',
cssName: 'sprite.css',
cssTemplate: 'handlebarsStr.css.handlebars'
}
Output:
.icon-fork:before {
display: block;
background-image: url(sprite.png);
background-position: 0px 0px;
width: 32px;
height: 32px;
}
.icon-github:before {
/* ... */
In this example, we will extend the SCSS template to provide minimal variables. The JSON at the front comes from the original template and is required to provide consistent casing and default options.
Different block sections for each template are documented in:
https://github.com/twolfson/spritesheet-templates
Template:
{
// Default options
'functions': true,
'variableNameTransforms': ['dasherize']
}
{{#extend "scss"}}
{{#content "sprites"}}
{{#each sprites}}
${{strings.name}}: ({{px.x}}, {{px.y}}, {{px.offset_x}}, {{px.offset_y}}, {{px.width}}, {{px.height}}, {{px.total_width}}, {{px.total_height}}, '{{{escaped_image}}}', '{{name}}', );
{{/each}}
{{/content}}
{{#content "spritesheet"}}
${{spritesheet_info.strings.name_sprites}}: ({{#each sprites}}${{strings.name}}, {{/each}});
${{spritesheet_info.strings.name}}: ({{spritesheet.px.width}}, {{spritesheet.px.height}}, '{{{spritesheet.escaped_image}}}', ${{spritesheet_info.strings.name_sprites}}, );
{{/content}}
{{/extend}}
Configuration:
{
imgName: 'sprite.png',
cssName: 'sprite.scss',
cssTemplate: 'handlebarsInheritance.scss.handlebars'
}
Output:
$fork: (0px, 0px, 0px, 0px, 32px, 32px, 64px, 64px, 'sprite.png', 'fork', );
$github: (32px, 0px, -32px, 0px, 32px, 32px, 64px, 64px, 'sprite.png', 'github', );
$twitter: (0px, 32px, 0px, -32px, 32px, 32px, 64px, 64px, 'sprite.png', 'twitter', );
$spritesheet-sprites: ($fork, $github, $twitter, );
$spritesheet: (64px, 64px, 'sprite.png', $spritesheet-sprites, );
/* ... */
In this example, we will use cssTemplate with a custom function that generates YAML.
Configuration:
// var yaml = require('js-yaml');
{
imgName: 'sprite.png',
cssName: 'sprite.yml',
cssTemplate: function (data) {
// Convert sprites from an array into an object
var spriteObj = {};
data.sprites.forEach(function (sprite) {
// Grab the name and store the sprite under it
var name = sprite.name;
spriteObj[name] = sprite;
// Delete the name from the sprite
delete sprite.name;
});
// Return stringified spriteObj
return yaml.safeDump(spriteObj);
}
}
Output:
fork:

'y': 0
width: 32
height: 32

gulp.spritesmith doesn't directly support cache busting but gulp-spritesmash is a plugin that takes gulp.spritesmith's output and generates cache busted filenames and CSS URLs. Here's an example usage:
https://github.com/MasterOfMalt/gulp-spritesmash
var gulp = require('gulp');
var buffer = require('vinyl-buffer');
var spritesmash = require('gulp-spritesmash');
var spritesmith = require('gulp.spritesmith');
gulp.task('sprite', function () {
return gulp.src('images/*.png')
.pipe(spritesmith({
imgName: 'sprite.png',
cssName: 'sprite.css'
}))
.pipe(buffer())
.pipe(spritesmash());
.pipe(gulp.dest('path/to/output/'));
});
