Core Free texture packer module

Install

$ npm install free-tex-packer-core

Basic usage

let texturePacker = require("free-tex-packer-core");

let images = [];

images.push({path: "img1.png", contents: fs.readFileSync("./img1.png")});
images.push({path: "img2.png", contents: fs.readFileSync("./img2.png")});
images.push({path: "img3.png", contents: fs.readFileSync("./img3.png")});

texturePacker(images, null, (files, error) => {
    if (error) {
        console.error('Packaging failed', error);
    } else {  
        for(let item of files) {
            console.log(item.name, item.buffer);
        }
    }
});

Asynchronous usage

Async/await

const { packAsync } = require('free-tex-packer-core');

const images = [
    {path: "img1.png", contents: fs.readFileSync("./img1.png")},
    {path: "img2.png", contents: fs.readFileSync("./img2.png")},
    {path: "img3.png", contents: fs.readFileSync("./img3.png")}
];

async function packImages() {
    try {
        const files = await packAsync(images, null);
        for(let item of files) {
            console.log(item.name, item.buffer);
        }
    }
    catch(error) {
        console.log(error);
    }
}

Promises

function packImages() {
    packAsync(images, null)
        .then((files) => {
            for(let item of files) {
                console.log(item.name, item.buffer);
            }
        })
        .catch((error) => console.log(error));
}

Advanced usage

Use packer options object

let texturePacker = require("free-tex-packer-core");

let options = {
    textureName: "my-texture",
    width: 1024,
    height: 1024,
    fixedSize: false,
    padding: 2,
    allowRotation: true,
    detectIdentical: true,
    allowTrim: true,
    exporter: "Pixi",
    removeFileExtension: true,
    prependFolderName: true
};

let images = [];

images.push({path: "img1.png", contents: fs.readFileSync("./img1.png")});
images.push({path: "img2.png", contents: fs.readFileSync("./img2.png")});
images.push({path: "img3.png", contents: fs.readFileSync("./img3.png")});

texturePacker(images, options, (files, error) => {
    if (error) {
        console.error('Packaging failed', error);
    } else {  
        for(let item of files) {
            console.log(item.name, item.buffer);
        }
    }
});

Custom exporter

Exporter property can be object. Fields:

Free texture packer uses mustache template engine.

There are 3 objects passed to template:

last Boolean last element in array flag

config (Object) current export config

Custom template usage example

let texturePacker = require("free-tex-packer-core");

let images = [];

images.push({path: "img1.png", contents: fs.readFileSync("./img1.png")});
images.push({path: "img2.png", contents: fs.readFileSync("./img2.png")});
images.push({path: "img3.png", contents: fs.readFileSync("./img3.png")});

let exporter = {
    fileExt: "json",
    template: "./MyTemplate.mst"
};

texturePacker(images, {exporter: exporter}, (files, error) => {
    if (error) {
        console.error('Packaging failed', error);
    } else {  
        for(let item of files) {
            console.log(item.name, item.buffer);
        }
    }
});
