This file is part of the documentation of svg-sprite — a free low-level Node.js module that takes a bunch of SVG files, optimizes them and creates SVG sprites of several types. The package is hosted on GitHub.
For each sprite generation process, a data object is constructed that is passed to the Mustache templating engine for rendering the different resources. You can access these templating values via the data argument passed to the compile() callback. Example:
{
// Data object for the `mymode` output key
mymode: {
// Name of the current output mode
mode: 'css',
// Key used for result files & data
key: 'mymode',
// Indicator whether a `common` CSS class name has been specified
hasCommon: false,
// Given CSS class name for `common` sprite shape properties (NULL if disabled)
common: null,
// Effective `common` CSS class / mixin name (identical to `common`, defaulting to 'svg-common' if disabled)
commonName: 'svg-common',
// Indicator whether a `mixin` name has been specified
hasMixin: false,
// Mixin name for common sprite shape properties (NULL if disabled)
mixinName: null,
// Whether to create shape dimensioning CSS rules
includeDimensions: true,
// Padding added to each shape (pixel)
padding: {top: 30, right: 30, bottom: 30, left: 30},
// Overall sprite width (pixel)
spriteWidth: 860,
// Overall sprite height (pixel)
spriteHeight: 1020,
// Relative path from the stylesheet resource to the SVG sprite
sprite: 'svg/sprite.css.svg',
// Relative path from the example resource to the SVG sprite (if configured)
example: 'svg/sprite.css.svg'
// List of all shapes in the sprite
shapes: [
// Single shape properties
{
// Shape name (possibly including state, e.g. "weather-clear-night~hover")
name: 'weather-clear-night',
// Shape name excluding the state
base: 'weather-clear-night',
// Shape width (pixel)
width: {
// Excluding padding
inner: 800,
// Including padding
outer: 860
},
// Shape height (pixel)
height: {
// Excluding padding
inner: 960,
// Including padding
outer: 1020
},
// First shape in the sprite
first: true,
// Last shape in the sprite
last: false,
// Shape position within the sprite
position: {
// Absolute position (pixel)
absolute: {
// Horizontal position
x: 0,
// Horizontal position
y: -120,
// Compound position
xy: '0 -120px'
},
// Relative position (%)
relative: {
// Horizontal position
x: 0,
// Vertical position
y: 33.333333,
// Compound position
xy: '0 33.333333%'
}
},
// CSS selectors
selector: {
// Shape positioning CSS rule
shape: [
{
expression: '.svg-weather-clear-night',
raw: '.svg-weather-clear-night',
first: true, // First selector expression
last: false
},
{
expression: '.svg-weather-clear-night\\:regular',
raw: '.svg-weather-clear-night:regular', // Unescaped version
first: false,
last: true // Last selector expression
}
],
// Shape dimensioning CSS rule
dimensions: [
{
expression: '.svg-weather-clear-night-dims',
raw: '.svg-weather-clear-night-dims',
first: true, // First selector expression
last: true // Last selector expression
}
]
},
// Dimensioning rule strategy
dimensions: {
// Render dimensions as part of positioning rule
inline: false,
// Render dimensions as separate dimensioning rule
extra: true
},
// Shape SVG (inline embeddable version)
svg: '<svg> ... </svg>',
}
],
// Current date (RFC-1123)

}There are a couple of functions directly built into svg-sprite. You may use them in any template.
Takes no arguments and returns the current date and time as GMT string (e.g. Mon, 22 Dec 2014 16:18:53 GMT).
<p>Generated at {{date}} by svg-sprite</p>Returns the negative value of a floating point number.
.offset-background {
background-position: {{#invert}}{{positionX}}{{/invert}}px {{#invert}}{{positionY}}{{/invert}}px;
}Returns the innermost part of a CSS selector as a class name (with the leading dot stripped off). For instance, if fullselector had the value .svg .icon-cart,
<i class="{{#classname}}{{fullselector}}{{/classname}}">Cart</i>would become
<i class="icon-cart">Cart</i>Finds all backslashes in a string and escapes each of them with another backslash.
{{#escape}}{{selector-with-backslash}}{{/escape}} {
color: red;
}
