Icons

Progressive Web Apps may have icons of multiple formats and sizes to be correctly shown on targeted plaforms. This task may become boring as your application evolves. The bundle provides a simple console command to ease the creation of these icons.

Icons shall be square images

Image Processor

The icon command requires an image processor to work to be declared in the configuration file. Two Image Processors are provided by the bundle.

• pwa.image_processor.imagick: requires the PHP Imagick extension

• pwa.image_processor.gd: requires the PHP GD extension

You can use a custom service if needed. It must implement the interface SpomkyLabs\PwaBundle\ImageProcessor\ImageProcessor.

/config/packages/pwa.yaml

pwa:
    image_processor: 'pwa.image_processor.imagick'

Resizing Icons

From your shell, you can use the following command line to convert an image to a preset of sizes and using the same format as the input:

symfony console pwa:create:icons /path/to/the/image.png

This will create a folder in assets/icons with icons of sizes 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 96x96, 144x144, 180x180, 256x256, 512x512 and 1024x1024. In addition, the console output will give you the best configuration to use these new image files by copy-pasting.

pwa:
    manifest:
        icons:
            - src: icons/icon-16x16.jpg
              sizes:
                - 16
              type: image/png
            - ...

This configuration is to be adapt depending on the icon type (application, shortcut, widget...)

Formats And Sizes

You can change the format and sizes by setting the values you need as options

symfony console pwa:create:icons /path/to/the/image.png --format="jpg" 48 96 256

Output Folder

Similarily, if you want to change the output folder, you can set it as an option.

symfony console pwa:create:icons /path/to/the/image.png --output="/foo/bar"
