SassyIcons

SassyIcons

Flexible system to manipulate icons, SVG, PNG, sprites.

Works on top of compass sprite API.
It was designed to easily switch between SVG and PNG while working with icons as background-images.
So you have more granular control over which icons to use as SVG or PNG.
SVG first with PNG sprite fallback, or PNG first with hidpi sprite support.

Also managing several "thematic" sprites a breeze.

Best workflow used in conjunction with grunt-svg2png.

Mixins

sprite-map-create($name [, $spacing])
icon($map, $sprite [, $offset, $format])
icon-single($map, $sprite [, $format])
icon-generated($map, $sprite [, $pos, $centered, $format])

Configuration

// Default settings.
$icons-defaults: (

  // Space around sprites in generated spritemap.
  // Useful with `$offset` parameter.
  // This setting is global for all spritemaps.
  // Can be set per spritemap with the `$spacing` parameter.
  spacing: 0,

  // Main icons directory. `sprite-map-create()`, base for sub dirs.
  dir: "icons",

  // Name of the png sub-folders.
  dir-png: "png",

  // Name of the hidpi png sub-folders.
  dir-hidpi: "png_2x",

  // Scale of the hidpi pngs.
  hidpi-scale: 2,

  // Minimum resolution ratio used in the hidpi media query.
  hidpi-ratio: 1.3,

  // Whether to embed icons as data URI in the `icon-single()` mixin.
  single-embed: true,

  // Default file format unless overridden by parameter, svg | png.
  format: "svg",

  // Whether to support legacy browsers, svg fallback.
  legacy: true

);

Override default values in a new $icons-settings map.

• Rewrite generated() mixin
• icon-generated() configurable calc() fallback
• Helper mixin to work with background-size
• Support for SVG sprites ?
• Support for SVG stacks ?
• Try to further improve output CSS
• More control over print position in the stylesheet ?
• Abstract and move away from compass sprites ?
• Move away from Modernizr classes ? Or make it an option.
• Clarify or remove the @content thing to pass additional rules to .svg.
