## About

This very tiny module makes exporting TexturePacker compatible JSON sprite sheets
with [grunt-spritesmith](https://github.com/Ensighten/grunt-spritesmith) or
[gulp.spritesmith](https://github.com/twolfson/gulp.spritesmith). Just pass
it along via the `cssTemplate` parameter.

## Example

```js

var spritesmith = require('gulp.spritesmith');

gulp.task('sprite', function () {
	return gulp.src('src/gfx/scubaman/*.png')
		.pipe(spritesmith({
			imgName: "scubaman.png",
			cssName: "scubaman.json",
			algorithm: 'binary-tree',
			cssTemplate: require('spritesmith-texturepacker') // <-- this right here
		})
		.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/gfx/'));
});
```
