Node.js-based GitHub-like Identicon implementation using Keccak32.
$ npm install legicon
Unless previously installed you'll need Cairo.
var Legicon = require('legicon');
var UserLegicon = Legicon("userid");
console.log('<img src="' + UserLegicon.toDataURL() + '" />');
Legicon exposes some API-functions from the underlying Canvas module.
To create a PNGStream
simply call Legicon.pngStream()
, and the stream will start to emit data events, finally emitting end when finished. If an exception occurs the error event is emitted. See examples/TCP/pngStream.js
for an example.
var fs = require('fs')
, out = fs.createWriteStream(__dirname + '/text.png')
, stream = Legicon.pngStream();
stream.on('data', function(chunk){
out.write(chunk);
});
stream.on('end', function(){
console.log('saved png');
});
Currently only sync streaming is supported, however we plan on supporting async streaming as well (of course :) ). Until then the Legicon#toBuffer(callback)
alternative is async utilizing eio_custom()
.
You can likewise create a JPEGStream
by calling Legicon.jpegStream()
with
some optional parameters; functionality is otherwise identical to
pngStream()
. See examples/TCP/jpegStream.js
for an example.
Note: At the moment, jpegStream()
is the same as syncJPEGStream()
, both
are synchronous
var stream = Legicon.jpegStream({
bufsize: 4096 // output buffer size in bytes, default: 4096
, quality: 75 // JPEG quality (0-100) default: 75
, progressive: false // true for progressive compression, default: fals
});
A call to Legicon#toBuffer()
will return a node Buffer
instance containing all of the PNG data. See examples/TCP/buffer.js
for an example.
Legicon.toBuffer();
Optionally we may pass a callback function to Legicon#toBuffer()
, and this process will be performed asynchronously, and will callback(err, buf)
.
Legicon.toBuffer(function(err, buf){
});
