Cannot Add Images to Build (Workaround?)

[dominicbarnes]

I'm trying to put together a builder plugin to assemble images into a sprite during the build, but can't seem to inject images, only styles.

Using component 0.19 (w/ builder 0.10) Builder#addFile("images", ...) doesn't behave like I would expect. It turns out that static assets like images/fonts/etc don't have a hook, and are fired off right away, so the copy/link operation is likely done (or at least in-flight) before I can get to it.

Is this changed in the later versions of the builder? (v0.11+) Is there a recommended workaround right now?

yeah this would be accessible in the newest version of the builder since you could choose not to copy them over and to instead sprite em

[dominicbarnes]

In my particular case, I'm using a separate sprite config, rather than images. (although either could be reasonable)

Should I just make a custom build script using the newest builder.js? (are there any incompatibilities or breaking changes I may need to be aware of?)

yeah sprites makes sense to be able to know which are not to be sprited. builder plugin would be good, although i'm currently waiting on #151 before i get too into using the new api cuz we gotta solve the verbosity stuff
