An example of the exported json.

`json
{
"image": [
["title", "/img/title.png"]
],
"spritesheet": [
["player", "/img/player.png", { "frameWidth": 16, "frameHeight": 16, "startFrame": 0, "endFrame": 3 }]
],
"audio": [
["bgm", ["/audio/bgm.m4a", "/audio/bgm.ogg"]]
]

`

The key names based on each file name. ( player.png => [prefix]player )

The Data can be imported and used for Phaser::Loader as is.

`js
import assets from './assets.json'
`

`js
Object.keys(assets).forEach(methodName => {
assets[methodName].forEach(args => scene.loadmethodName
})
`

The json file will be regenerated automatically when added or removed files during watching.

Just define num of horizontal and vertical for each spritesheet into JSON file located same dir as assets.

`
- img/
- player.png
- setting.json
