copy assets to specified directory?

[zoubin]

Right now we can specify assetPath, which determines the value of url(value) in css, and the destination of the copied asset will be calculated based on this info. That is very convenient if we want to specify a url(value) in css.

I am handling cases where the value in url(value) does not matter as long as it is right, but the destination of the copied asset does.

Here is an example.

css file /path/to/src/page/index/index.css:

.sp-icon {
  background-image: url(i/sp-icon.png);
}

the asset file is /path/to/src/page/index/i/sp-icon.png

I want to build css to /path/to/build/page/index/index.css, and the sprite to /path/to/build/sp/sp-icon.png.

So, in /path/to/build/page/index/index.css, it looks like:

.sp-icon {
  background-image: url(../../sp/sp-icon.png);
}

Any idea how to achieve this?

If one of the provided callback for url option doesn't work for you, you can always use a custom function https://github.com/postcss/postcss-url#url-function

FYI to people who are looking for this feature: since the above were closed and not really resolved, I ended up creating postcss-copy-assets.
