Super Simple CSS Sprites

A super simple retina css sprite maker built with Gulp and Spritesmith to automate your sprite workflow

Getting Started

The following steps will help you get up and running with a simple sprite automation which spits out a retina and non retina sprite, and the css to go with it.

Install pre-requisites

  • Make sure you install Homebrew first.
  • Then install Node.js with brew install node
  • Install Gulp globally npm install -g gulp

Setup

git clone https://github.com/harrycresswell/super-simple-css-sprites.git
cd super-simple-css-sprites
  • Run npm install to install the node dependencies.

usage

  • Run rm -rf dist to delete the current example contents from the dist folder.
  • Update the contents of src folder with the images you want to sprite
  • run gulp sprite to create the sprite image and css in /dist.

For retina images, be sure to use the suffix @2x in order to generate a @2x sprite. For example github@2x.png.

I've left a index.html file in the root, so you can check everything is working correctly. Just update the class names accordingly.
