This Webpack plugin fetches sticker pack data from Signal at build-time, allowing the Signal Stickers website to load this data without having to fetch and decrypt it from the Signal API.

Install

npm i @signalstickers/fetch-sticker-data-webpack-plugin

Use

The plugin accepts 2 options, inputFile and outputFile. inputFile should be the path to a YAML file enumerating one or more StickerPackYaml objects. outputFile should be the desired path to a JSON file in the compilation's output directory where the plugin will wite a list of StickerPackPartial objects for each entry in inputFile.

To enable the plugin, add it to your Webpack configuration:

import FetchStickerDataPlugin from '@signalstickers/fetch-sticker-data-webpack-plugin';

export default {
  plugins: [new FetchStickerDataPlugin({
    inputFile: 'stickers.yml',
    outputFile: 'sticker-partials.json'
  })]
}

Example:

The following stickers.yml file will produce the below JSON output.
