Options.stylesheet does not accept javascript

[elmpp]

Hi there,

I'm seeing an error when trying to output javascript styles.

I have tried this with both gm and jimp compositors.

error message:

ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'javascript'
error Command failed with exit code 1.

config:

{
    src: [path.resolve(__dirname, './assets/spriteable/horizontal/*')],
    spritePath: path.resolve(__dirname, 'assets/__generated__/spritesheet/allbookies-hz.png'),
    stylesheetPath: path.resolve(__dirname, 'assets/__generated__/spritesheet-style/allbookies-hz.js'),
    stylesheet: 'javascript',
    compositor: 'gm',
    compositorOptions: {
      compressionLevel: 6,
    },
  }

package.json:

{
  "name": "org-image",
  "version": "0.86.0",
  "description": "image processing stuff",
  "license": "ISC",
  "main": "lib/org-image.js",
  "scripts": {
    "build": "tsc",
    "postinstall": "cd ../.. && yarn postinstall",
    "postuninstall": "cd ../.. && yarn postinstall",
    "transpile": "npm run build",
    "transpile:watch": "npm run build -- --watch",
    "type-check": "tsc --noEmit"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/node-sprite-generator": "^0.10.1",
    "node-sprite-generator": "^0.10.2",
    "ts-node": "8.2.0"
  },
  "bin": {
    "spritesheet": "scripts/spritesheet.sh"
  }
}

@elmpp did you find a sol to this?

Same, there is no "javascript" template in this repository.
I found two workarounds, these examples will create a json format, adjust the output to your likings.

Workaround 1: write custom output function

I think the easiest way is to set options.stylesheet to a custom function:

var nsg = require('node-sprite-generator');
var fs = require('fs');

nsg({
    src: [
        'faces-128/*.jpg'
    ],
    spritePath: 'faces-128/all.png',
    stylesheetPath: 'faces-128/all.json',
    stylesheet: function(layout, stylesheetPath, spritePath, options, callback) {
      const data = layout.images.map((img) => {
        const {x, y, width, height, path} = img;
        return { x, y, width, height, path }
      })

      fs.writeFileSync(stylesheetPath, JSON.stringify(data, null, 2))
    },
    compositor: 'jimp'
}, function (err) {
    console.log('Sprite generated!');
});

Workaround 2: add missing templates

You can also create the missing templates.

create new file node-sprite-generator/lib/stylesheet/javascript.js:

'use strict';

var getTemplatedStylesheet = require('./templatedStylesheet'),
    path = require('path');

module.exports = getTemplatedStylesheet(path.join(__dirname, '/templates/javascript.tpl'));

create new file node-sprite-generator/lib/stylesheet/templates/javascript.tpl:

[<% layout.images.forEach(function (image) { %>
  {
    "path": "<%= image.path %>",
    "x": <%= image.x %>,
    "y": <%= image.y %>,
    "width": <%= image.width %>,
    "height": <%= image.height %>
  }, <% }); %>
]
