========

Blender is tool for converting media assets from svg format to png format in a specified array of sizes. This module is perfect for genreating icons to be used on a variety of screen sizes. Output folder structure, output sizes, icon types, and output icon names can be configured via a JSON object input.

Usage

You can use _blender_ either via command line or as a node library.

$3

$ npm install -g blender
$ ulimit -n 2048

To convert assets:

blender input output --config --size [platform(s)]

example uses:
blender ./input/svg ./output --config ./config.json --size 30 android api
blender ./input/svg ./output --config ./config.json all
blender ./input/svg ./output --size 30

$3

input: relative path to folder
output: relative path to folder, will create if does not exist
--config: relative path to config file [optional, default: ./config.json]
--size: desired 1X size of generated PNG (e.g. --size 18 would yield a png of longest dimension 36 with scale factor of 2) [optional, default: 18]
platforms: space delimited list of standardized platforms to generate png's for [optional, default: all]

$3

$ npm install blender --save-dev
$ ulimit -n 2048

Example:

blender = require 'blender'

var config = {
"formats": [
{
"name": "android",
"sizes": [
{ "sizeDirectory" : "mdpi", "scale": 1 },
{ "sizeDirectory" : "hdpi", "scale": 1.5 }
]
},
{
"name": "ios",
"sizes": [
{ "scale": 1 },
{ "scale": 2, "suffix": "@2x" }
]
},
{
"name": "api",
"sizes": [
{ "constant": 60, "suffix": "_60" },
{ "constant": 120, "suffix": "_120"}
],
"ignoreTypeSuffix": true
}
]
}

blender.convert("./input/svg", "./output", config, 18, 'all', function() {
console.log('done');
});

$3

* = optional input

config: { formats }

formats: [ { name, *ignoreTypeSuffix, sizes } ]

-------- name: e.g. ios

-------- ignoreSuffixType: (default: false) if true, output icon names will not include typeSuffix

-------- sizes: [ { scale, constant, suffix, sizeDirectory } ]

---------------- scale: (default: 1.0) scale of output image

---------------- constant: (default none) set a constant size for output image

---------------- suffix: (default: none) suffix for renaming related to size (e.g. @2x)

---------------- sizeDirectory: (default: none) e.g. mdpi
