Installation

$ npm install postcss-assets-rebase

Usage

Plugin throws warnings when asset can't be found or duplicate is renamed. Warnings are thrown using postcss.messages. To output warnings in console you can use postcss-reporter.

// dependencies
var fs = require("fs")
var postcss = require("postcss")
var rebaser = require("postcss-assets-rebase")
var reporter = require('postcss-reporter');

// css to be processed
var css = fs.readFileSync("input.css", "utf8")

// process css
var output = postcss()
  .use(rebaser({
    assetsPath: "assets/imported", // new path for all assets
    relative: true // is assetsPath relative to .css position.
                   //By default its relative to process.cwd()
  }))
  .use(reporter)
  .process(css, {
    from: "src/stylesheet/index.css"
    to: "dist/index.css"
  })
  .css

Input src/stylesheet/index.css:

body {
  background: url("../../assets/img.jpg");
  background: url(another-assets/another-img.jpg);
  background: url("../../assets/not-existing-image.jpg");
  background: url("http://goo.gl/VR2dL6");
}

Output

body {
  background: url(assets/imported/img.jpg);
  background: url(assets/imported/another-img.jpg);
  background: url(../../assets/not-existing-image.jpg);
  background: url(http://goo.gl/VR2dL6);
}

|-- dist
    |-- index.css
    |-- assets
        |-- imported
            |-- another-img.jpg
            |-- img.jpg

Options

assetsPath (required)

Type: String

Path to place assets to

relative (optional)

Type: Boolean
Default: False

Is assetsPath relative to .css position. By default its relative to process.cwd()

keepStructure (optional)

Type: Boolean Default: False

To keep folder structure or not. By default all assets paths are collected flatly in assetsPath folder. If you set this flag to true, folder structure relative to process.cwd() would be saved.

So then example above would generate following files:

|-- dist
    |-- index.css
    |-- assets
        |-- imported
          |-- assets
              |-- img.jpg
          |-- src
              |-- stylesheet
                  |-- another-assets
                      |-- another-img.jpg

renameDuplicates (optional)

Type: Boolean
Default: False

If there are assets with different paths but same name, they would be renamed using name_% pattern.

By default only first asset would be copied.
