background-imager.js

background-imager takes image files with micro media queries and produces responsive CSS classes. It is particularly helpful when dealing with a large number of CSS classes with 2 or more image versions each.

Example

Running background-imager test/ which has the following images:

noodle@1x,2x+480w.png
noodle@1x+480w.png
noodle@1.5x.ping
noodle@1.5+480w.png
noodle@2x.png

...will produce the following CSS output:

.noodle {
  background-image: url("images/noodle@1x,2x+480w.png");
  width: 64px;
  height: 64px;
}
 
@media 
only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5), 
only screen and (min--moz-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5), 
only screen and (-o-min-device-pixel-ratio: 15/10), 
only screen and (min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5), 
only screen and (min-resolution: 144dpi), 
only screen and (min-resolution: 1.5dppx) {
  .noodle {
    background-image: url("images/noodle@1.5x.png");
    background-size: 64px 64px;
  }
}

Use

See background-imager --help

Dependencies

background-imager.js assumes ImageMagick is installed.

On Mac OS X via brew brew install imagemagick

Demo

See test/noodle.html, which uses test/noodle.css that was generated from running script against images/. This CSS file is also used in testing.

Testing

npm test

Numerous BDD-style tests using Mocha, though coverage is just short of 100%.

Known Issues

While the x descriptor feature should correspond to the max-device-pixel-ratio media query feature there is difficulty in producing multiple at-rules that work as expected. As a result all queries use min-device-pixel-ratio, though the codebase makes this change trivial in the case that a viable max-device-pixel-ratio solution is found.
