generate

Usage

ASCII.generate(image, opts)
Returns a Promise that resolves with the ASCII art.

image is either a Jimp object or a path to the image
opts is an object with the following properties:

Property	Value	Description	Default
width	number	The width, in output pixels, of the output. Note that each output pixel is two characters wide, so the width in characters will be twice this value.	64
height	number	The height, in characters, of the output.	64
grad	"lbg" | "dbg" | string[]	The gradient used in the output. Use 'lbg' for the default light background gradient and 'dbg' for the default dark background. If using an array, note that it goes from darkest to lightest.	"lbg"
color	boolean	Whether or not to color the output. This uses ANSI escape codes.	false

Examples

const ASCII = require('ascii-art-maker')
const log = async () => {console.log(
  ASCII.generate('./content/images/peppers.jpg', {
