@dishuostec/cordova-res v0.8.1

Resource Generator

This tool will crop and resize JPEG and PNG source images to generate images for modern iOS and Android devices. It will also register the generated images in config.xml so that Cordova projects are updated accordingly.

Install

$ npm install -g cordova-res

Usage

cordova-res must run at the root of a Cordova project, such as:

resources/
├── icon.png
└── splash.png
config.xml

• resources/icon.png must be at least 1024×1024px
• resources/splash.png must be at least 2732×2732px

To generate resources with all the default options, just run:

$ cordova-res

cordova-res accepts a platform for the first argument. If specified, resources are generated only for that platform:

$ cordova-res ios

Otherwise, cordova-res looks for platforms in config.xml (e.g. <platform name="ios">) and generates resources only for them.

Documentation

See the help documentation on the command line with the --help flag.

$ cordova-res --help

Adaptive Icons

Android Adaptive Icons are also supported. If you choose to use them, create the following additional file(s):

• resources/android/icon-foreground.png must be at least 432×432px
• resources/android/icon-background.png must be at least 432×432px

A color may also be used for the icon background by specifying the --icon-background-source option with a hex color code, e.g. --icon-background-source '#FFFFFF'.

Regular Android icons will still be generated as a fallback for Android devices that do not support adaptive icons.

:memo: Note: Cordova 9+ and cordova-android 8+ is required.

Tips

.gitignore

To avoid committing large generated images to your repository, you can add the following lines to your .gitignore:

resources/android/icon
resources/android/splash
resources/ios/icon
resources/ios/splash
resources/windows/icon
resources/windows/splash

Programmatic API

cordova-res can be used programmatically.

CommonJS Example

const run = require('cordova-res');

await run();

TypeScript Example

run() takes an options object described by the interface Options. If options are provided, resources are generated in an explicit, opt-in manner. In the following example, only Android icons and iOS splash screens are generated.

import { Options, run } from 'cordova-res';

const options: Options = {
  directory: '/path/to/project',
  resourcesDirectory: 'resources',
  logstream: process.stdout, // Any WritableStream
  platforms: {
    android: { icon: { sources: ['resources/icon.png'] } },
    ios: { splash: { sources: ['resources/splash.png'] } },
  },
};

await run(options);
