Unable to create sprites.

[neha-s16]

OS?

Virtual Box running Linux 4.8.0-26-generic on Windows 10

Versions.

angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.21
node: 7.2.1
os: linux x64

Repro steps.

1. App created using angular-cli.
2. Copy normal and retina images in assets/images/common/normal and assets/images/common/retina folders respectively.
3. Run ng-build

No log generated / no console errors. Images are copied to dist folder but sprites are not generated.

Ok I was totally misunderstanding the usecase. Now that I went to look up sprite tools for webpack (like https://github.com/kezoo/sprite-webpack-plugin) I understand this better.

No, there is no CLI support for sprites currently. I'll mark it as a feature request.

Thanks.

It would be a good to have feature for sure. Can I use https://github.com/kezoo/sprite-webpack-plugin or https://www.npmjs.com/package/sprity to generate sprites as of now? I am trying to configure sprity with angular-cli.json. Any other ideas on what can work?

[filipesilva]

There is no way to extend extend the webpack config or build system, but I can see sprity being ran manually.

This is something that could be added as an addon, when the addon system is available (#2906).

From what I understood, there's no way to automatically generate sprites in angular-cli?
