Does Blade maintain directory structure in the xcassets folder?

[rex-remind101]

One of the great things about Xcode's xcassets Import feature is if you import from a folder it will maintain the directory structure the images were in. Does Blade do this automatically?

[jondot]

It will actually just "stalk" the existing folder structure. So, anything with a Contents.json (typically image catalogs) will be a valid output path for Blade.

If paths are already defined in an existing Contents.json -> Blade will use those by default. If not, then the file format will be output by blade's own definitions, here's such an output:

-rw-r--r--  1 Dotan  staff   1.6K Sep 29 23:07 Contents.json
-rw-r--r--  1 Dotan  staff   1.6K Sep 29 23:07 [email protected]
-rw-r--r--  1 Dotan  staff   4.2K Sep 29 23:07 [email protected]

-rw-r--r--  1 Dotan  staff    12K Sep 29 23:07 [email protected]
-rw-r--r--  1 Dotan  staff    12K Sep 29 23:07 [email protected]
-rw-r--r--  1 Dotan  staff    20K Sep 29 23:07 [email protected]

Here's a sample mapping (Bladefile), I took the liberty of commenting these for you:

blades:
  - source: assets/app-icon.png # this is the source asset file
    mount: SnappyScan/Images.xcassets/AppIcon.appiconset  # this is where the generated files would be dumped into
    contents: true   # generate a new catalog, doesn't matter what's already in there
  - source: assets/splash-icon.png
    mount: SnappyScan/Images.xcassets/SplashIcon.imageset
    contents: true

So you see, Blade will work with what's already there, and not generate its own tree structure. This is by design. Nevertheless, this project is open to other ideas - bring them in if you have them.
