Google Skia binding to Node.js via [Node-API](https://napi.rs), **0 System dependencies!**

⚠️ This project is in pre-release stage. And there may be some bugs.<br/>
For details on planned features and future direction please refer to the [Roadmap](https://github.com/Brooooooklyn/canvas/issues/113).

[中文文档](./README-zh.md)

# Install

```bash
yarn add @napi-rs/canvas
npm install @napi-rs/canvas
```

# Support matrix

## System requirement

### `arm64`

[**_cortex-a57_**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cortex-A57) or newer CPU architecture on **Linux**.

All Apple M chips on **macOS**.

### `armv7`

[**_cortex-a7_**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cortex-A7) or newer CPU architecture.

### glibc

Since Skia relies on the [glibc](https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/) 2.18 API, you need to have at least glibc version >= 2.18 on your system.

## AWS Lambda usage

To use this library on Lambda you will need to use a Lambda layer.

You can simply attach a lambda layer by getting an ARN from [Canvas-Lambda-Layer](https://github.com/ShivamJoker/Canvas-Lambda-Layer)

> Make sure to exclude `@napi-rs/canvas` while bundling your Lambda.

# Usage

```js
const { promises } = require('node:fs')
const { join } = require('node:path')
const { createCanvas, loadImage } = require('@napi-rs/canvas')

const canvas = createCanvas(300, 320)
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d')

ctx.lineWidth = 10
ctx.strokeStyle = '#03a9f4'
ctx.fillStyle = '#03a9f4'

// Wall
ctx.strokeRect(75, 140, 150, 110)

// Door
ctx.fillRect(130, 190, 40, 60)

// Roof
ctx.beginPath()
ctx.moveTo(50, 140)
ctx.lineTo(150, 60)
ctx.lineTo(250, 140)
ctx.closePath()
ctx.stroke()

async function main() {
  // load images from disk or from a URL
  const catImage = await loadImage('path/to/cat.png')
  const dogImage = await loadImage('https://example.com/path/to/dog.jpg')

  ctx.drawImage(catImage, 0, 0, catImage.width, catImage.height)

  ctx.drawImage(dogImage, canvas.width / 2, canvas.height / 2, dogImage.width, dogImage.height)

  // export canvas as image
  const pngData = await canvas.encode('png') // JPEG, AVIF and WebP are also supported
  // encoding in libuv thread pool, non-blocking
  await promises.writeFile(join(__dirname, 'simple.png'), pngData)
}

main()
```

![](./example/simple.png)

## Emoji text

```js
const { writeFileSync } = require('fs')
const { join } = require('path')

const { createCanvas, GlobalFonts } = require('@napi-rs/canvas')

GlobalFonts.registerFromPath(join(__dirname, '..', 'fonts', 'AppleColorEmoji@2x.ttf'), 'Apple Emoji')
GlobalFonts.registerFromPath(join(__dirname, '..', '__test__', 'fonts', 'COLRv1.ttf'), 'COLRv1')

console.info(GlobalFonts.families)

const canvas = createCanvas(760, 360)
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d')

ctx.font = '50px Apple Emoji'
ctx.strokeText('😀😃😄😁😆😅😂🤣☺️😊😊😇', 50, 150)

ctx.font = '100px COLRv1'
ctx.fillText('abc', 50, 300)

const b = canvas.toBuffer('image/png')

writeFileSync(join(__dirname, 'draw-emoji.png'), b)
```

## PathKit

`PathKit` is a toolset for manipulating Path in `Skia`, supporting **_quadratic beziers_**, **_cubic beziers_** and **_conics_**.
The main features are.

### Path Operation

`.op(path, PathOp)`

```js
const pathOne = new Path2D(
  'M8 50H92C96.4183 50 100 53.5817 100 58V142C100 146.418 96.4183 150 92 150H8C3.58172 150 0 146.418 0 142V58C0 53.5817 3.58172 50 8 50Z',
)
const pathTwo = new Path2D(
  '"M58 0H142C146.418 0 150 3.58172 150 8V92C150 96.4183 146.418 100 142 100H58C53.5817 100 50 96.4183 50 92V8C50 3.58172 53.5817 0 58 0Z',
)

pathOne.op(pathTwo, PathOp.Intersect).toSVGString()
// => "M100 100L58 100C53.5817 100 50 96.4183 50 92L50 50L92 50C96.4183 50 100 53.5817 100 58L100 100Z"
```

- **Union**, subtract the op path from the first path
- **Difference**, intersect the two paths
- **ReverseDifference**, union (inclusive-or) the two paths
- **Intersect**, exclusive-or the two paths
- **XOR**, subtract the first path from the op path

![boolean-operations](./docs/imgs/boolean-operations.svg)

### Covert `FillType` in **_Path_**

`.asWinding()`

You can convert `fill-rule="evenodd"` to `fill-rule="nonzero"` in SVG.
This is useful for **OpenType** font-related tools, as `fill-rule="nonzero"` is only supported in **OpenType** fonts.

```

### Simplify **_Path_**

`.simplify()`

Set the path to the same non-overlapping contour as the original path area, which means that it can also remove overlapping paths.

## Lottie Animation

Render [Lottie](https://airbnb.io/lottie/) animations using Skia's [Skottie](https://skia.org/docs/user/modules/skottie/) module.

### Load Animation

```js
const { LottieAnimation } = require('@napi-rs/canvas')

// Load from file
const animation = LottieAnimation.loadFromFile('animation.json')

// Load from JSON string with resource path for external assets
const animation = LottieAnimation.loadFromData(jsonString, {
  resourcePath: '/path/to/assets',
})
```

### Animation Properties

```js
animation.duration // Total duration in seconds
animation.fps // Frames per second
animation.frames // Total frame count
animation.width // Animation width
animation.height // Animation height
animation.version // Lottie format version
```

### Playback Control

```js
animation.seekFrame(30) // Seek to frame 30
animation.seek(1.5) // Seek to 1.5 seconds
```

### Render to Canvas

```js
const { createCanvas, LottieAnimation } = require('@napi-rs/canvas')

const animation = LottieAnimation.loadFromFile('animation.json')
const canvas = createCanvas(animation.width, animation.height)
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d')

// Render at original size
animation.render(ctx)

// Render with custom destination rect
animation.render(ctx, { x: 0, y: 0, width: 800, height: 600 })
```

### Supported Features

- **Embedded images** - Base64-encoded images (`data:image/png;base64,...`)
- **Embedded fonts** - Vector glyph paths for text rendering without system fonts
- **External assets** - Load images from `resourcePath` directory
- **dotLottie format** - Extract `.lottie` ZIP files at runtime (see example)

### Example: Encode Lottie to Video

See [`example/lottie-to-video.ts`](./example/lottie-to-video.ts) for encoding Lottie animations to MP4 using [`@napi-rs/webcodecs`](https://github.com/Brooooooklyn/webcodecs-node).

```js
import { createCanvas, LottieAnimation } from '@napi-rs/canvas'
import {
  VideoEncoder,
  VideoFrame,
  Mp4Muxer,
  type EncodedVideoChunk,
  type EncodedVideoChunkMetadata,
} from '@napi-rs/webcodecs'

const animation = LottieAnimation.loadFromFile('animation.json')
const canvas = createCanvas(animation.width, animation.height)
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d')

for (let frame = 0; frame < animation.frames; frame++) {
  animation.seekFrame(frame)
  ctx.fillStyle = '#ffffff'
  ctx.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height)
  animation.render(ctx)
  // Encode frame to video...
}
```

# Building

## Build skia from source

You can build this project from source, the system requirements are here: https://skia.org/docs/user/build

```sh
# Clone the code:
$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Brooooooklyn/canvas.git
$ cd canvas

# Build Skia:
$ node scripts/build-skia.js

# Install NPM packages, build the Node.js addon:
$ npm install -g yarn
$ yarn install --mode=skip-build # Here are modules that are used for benchmarking and are hard to install, you can skip it by specifying `--mode=skip-build`
$ sudo dnf install clang # https://fedora.pkgs.org/34/fedora-x86_64/clang-12.0.0-0.3.rc1.fc34.x86_64.rpm.html
$ yarn build

# All done! Run test cases or examples now:
$ yarn test
$ node example/tiger.js
```

## Pull pre-build skia binary from GitHub

You can pull skia pre-build binaries if you just care the `Rust` part:

```sh
# Clone the code:
$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Brooooooklyn/canvas.git
$ cd canvas

# Download Skia binaries:
# It will pull the binaries match the git hash in `./skia` submodule
$ node scripts/release-skia-binary.mjs --download

# Install NPM packages, build the Node.js addon:
$ npm install -g yarn
$ yarn install --mode=skip-build
$ sudo dnf install clang # https://fedora.pkgs.org/34/fedora-x86_64/clang-12.0.0-0.3.rc1.fc34.x86_64.rpm.html
$ yarn build

# All done! Run test cases or examples now:
$ yarn test
$ node example/tiger.js
