The spritesheet creation tool for Node.js

SpriteMe designed as core module which do not create or modify any files.

If you want build sprites during build procces look at Sprite-me webpack plugin

• Install ImageMagic V7.

  Version 7 is required. Check it by running magick --version

  I recomend to use ImageMagick Easy Instal
  Some package managers like brew can install imagemagick with version 6

Base usage spriteMe(images: string[], options?: Object).

Script example to create and save sprite:

const fs = require('fs');
const spriteMe = require('sprite-me');

const imageName = 'spriteMe.png';
const jsonName = 'spriteMe.json'
const images = ['./img1.png', './img2.png'];

(async () => {
    const { meta, frames, image } = await spriteMe(images);
    
    const json = JSON.stringify({
        meta: {
            ...meta,
            image: imageName,
        },
        frames,
    });

    fs.writeFileSync(imageName, image);
    fs.writeFileSync(jsonName, json);
})();
