gulp-chrome-manifest-iconify

A Gulp plugin for chrome-manifest-iconify

When creating a Chrome extension, you need to provide a set of icons for context menus, browser actions, page actions, and the Chrome Web Store. Usually, these are just resized versions of the same image. The goal of gulp-chrome-manifest-iconify is to intellegently automate the tedious process of generated all these resized clones. In a Gulp task, simply pipe this plugin a master icon and indicate the path to a v2 manifest. It will parse the manifest to determine the sizes, names, types, and paths of the icons it needs to generate. You can choose from several resizing algorithms as provide by Sharp so your entire icon set looks awesome.
