grunt-sprites

Generate sprites separated by folders, with grunt-spritesmith. Main idea is generate files in separate folders. It's a wrapper for grunt-spritesmith.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-sprites --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-sprites');

The "sprites" task

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named sprites to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  sprites: {
    options: {
      baseDir : 'path/to/dir/with/subdirs',
      imgType : ['png, jpeg'],
      //Support all grunt-spritesmith options
      initSpritesmithConfig : function(folderName) {
        return {
          //src : '', NO NEED
          engine : 'pngsmith',
          cssTemplate: 'app/css/less.template.mustache',
          destImg : 'app/images/sprites/' + folderName + '.png',
          destCSS : 'app/css/less/' + folderName + '.less',
