This is a really tiny project that plays with the awesome features provided by Vercel and Nextjs.
The main goal was to create a individual og:image per page. Inspired by repng I use playwright to create a actual image from a specified component:
// lib/imageFromComponent.ts
import { renderToStaticMarkup } from 'react-dom/server'
import { chromium } from 'playwright'
const baseCSS = `*{box-sizing:border-box}body{margin:0;font-family:system-ui,sans-serif}`
const imageFromComponent = async (
Component: React.ReactElement,
size: { width: number; height: number },
filename: string
): Promise<Buffer> => {
// Render the component to html
const body = renderToStaticMarkup(Component)
// Open a browser window and set the component with a unstyled body
const browser = await chromium.launch()
const page = await browser.newPage()
await page.setContent(`<!DOCTYPE html><head>
<meta charset="utf-8"><style>${baseCSS}</style>
</head>
<body style="display:inline-block">
${body}`)
// Set the viewport size to the desired image size
await page.setViewportSize(size)
const result = await page.screenshot({
path: filename,
clip: {
x: 0,
y: 0,
...size,
},
omitBackground: true,
})
await browser.close()
return result
}
export { imageFromComponent }As of writing this playwright needs a postinstall hook to work properly.This hook is not fired when next revalidates the page. If you want to use awesome ISG then you need somehow cache playwright or do something else.
Do what ever you want. ❤
