Documentation is unclear about how to structure the grunt.js file

The documentation (https://github.com/twolfson/spritesheet-templates#scss_maps) has this:

Options: functions Boolean - Flag to include mixins or not By default this is true (mixins will be included)

I have no idea how to exclude the mixins based on that 😕 I need an example. What do I need to do to this to turn off mixins?

    sprite:{
        all: {
            src: 'assets/images/auto-sprite/source-files/*.png',
            dest: 'assets/images/auto-sprite/auto-spritesheet.png',
            destCss: 'assets/sass/sprites.scss',
            cssFormat: 'scss_maps',
            padding: 2,
            options: {
                mixins: false,
            }
        },
    },

I would like to be able to put the mixins in a different folder to the scss maps.

But I don’t see any examples that look somewhat like the example I gave in the original post. That is the standard way of structuring grunt.js code. Anyone new to grunt would be completely and utterly lost trying to follow the examples you are currently providing in the documentation.

Thanks for the help, the sprite sheet variable names are being named how I want them now 😃

This issue isn’t really closed though. The problem is that the documentation for spritesmith wasn’t clear enough for me to figure that out on my own.

There are barely any examples across both spritesmith and spritesheet-templates of what the grunt file is supposed to look like when using various features. Could you add a bunch of code snippets with examples of how the grunt file should be structured? I spent hours getting as far as I did trying to decipher your documentation. This is bound to be an issue for other people wanting to use spritesmith but unable to figure out how to use it.

(great work on such a robust grunt plugin by the way. It’s so much better than using compass for auto-spriting)
