vite-plugin-spritesmith

Vite plugin to generate spritesheets and CSS/SASS/LESS/Stylus mixins from image files using spritesmith and spritesheet-templates. Current version 0.1.1, initial release with basic functionality. Supports glob-based source image selection, watch mode, custom templates (Handlebars), and multiple CSS output formats. Differentiator: integrates directly with Vite build pipeline (no separate Grunt/Gulp step). Limited community adoption and few updates; suitable for simple sprite workflows but lacks advanced features like retina support or automatic CSS image ref resolution.
