grunt-svg2storeicons

Create icons for mobile and tablet applications for all stores from a simple squared SVG.

As of 0.3.X, Cordova / PhoneGap have changed their directory and naming conventions so that it fits better the targeted platforms. This plugin is adapted to the new file structure to ease integration. Check former release 0.1.12, if you are still on Cordova / PhoneGap 0.2.X releases.

In bold, the chart represents the user provided options. Normal texts are the generated sub file paths.

The "svg2storeicons" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named svg2storeicons to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  svg2storeicons: {
    your_target: {
      // Source file: the SVG.
      src: 'app/res/icon.svg',

      options: {
        // A  list of stores
        profiles: ['windows-phone', 'android']
      }
    },
  },
});

Options

options.prjName

Type: String Default value: Test

Specify your project's name. It is mostly used for iOS as the platforms/ios sub directory. PhoneGap/Cordova iOS target uses it when building the application.

options.profiles

Type: Array of String Default value: ['default', 'android', 'bada', 'blackberry', 'ios', 'tizen', 'webos', 'windows-phone']

Specify the stores that you target. The full list is provided as default. The default target produce a single icon.png at the root of the specified destination directory.

Usage Examples

Default Options

In this example, the default options are used. Icons for all sizes of phones are being produced for each stores. The src contains the access to an squared SVG file. The dest contains the directory in which the icons are produced.

grunt.initConfig({
  svg2storeicons: {
    all_stores: {
      src: 'app/res/icon.svg',
      dest: 'www/'
    }
  }
});

Custom Options

In this example, custom options are used to create the default icon and only target Android and iOS.

grunt.initConfig({
  svg2storeicons: {
    google_play_and_app_store: {
      src: 'app/res/icon.svg',
      dest: 'www/',
      options: {
        profiles: ['default', 'android', 'ios']
      }
    }
  }
});
