node-canvas VS analog

Assuming SWR (stale while revalidate) is working, we could definitely use the ability to edit images in workers. We would need support for node canvas or something similar.

So at this point, I have all the images and the data required to align the images. I used node-canvas to do that. So here's how I aligned the images:

ECharts was originally a Baidu project, released under https://github.com/ecomfe/echarts (ecomfe = "E-commerce frontend"?). They still maintain some of the auxiliary libraries.

I've been using it since around ... 2018-ish[0]? ... as a replacement for Google Charts. It was my first time using a big library from one of the Chinese tech giants -- basic docs and tutorials in English, then all the advanced stuff (and comments) written in Chinese. I was impressed by how comprehensive the charts library was, and how they'd obviously invested a lot of brainwork into the configuration system. IMO it's one of the highest-quality data visualization libraries in JavaScript unless you're willing to dive deep into something like d3.js.

The blog post's author describes running echarts in a headless Chrome, though, which seems insane to me. It's JavaScript rendering to a -- can't it run in Node with https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas ?

node-pre-gyp ERR! install response status 404 Not Found on https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/releases/download/v2.11.0/canvas-v2.11.0-node-v93-darwin-unknown-arm64.tar.gz

Another approach is it to create a background image and insert the texts and the metadata with a canvas library like node-canvas. This approach is very well described in this Learn With Jason episode. But with a canvas library we have to specify on which coordinates we want to render our texts and it does not wrap automatically if it becomes to long.

Never used it but probably this: https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas

I found this issue: https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/issues/1974 and somebody commented with a link about node buffers. So I decided to test these parts.

Some popular Node.js libraries for manipulating images are node-canvas and sharp.

node.js + imagemagick + node canvas + node canvas libraries (depends on your OS)

If you want to go the same route check out the node-canvas library from the Automattic folks. That essentially lets you use the Browser Canvas API for drawing (but server side instead of in the browser).

We have also introduced a new Single File Component format in Analog for authoring components and directives. What started as a .ng file extension for components and directives using Angular has evolved into the Analog SFC, along with features including support for auto-imports, inline markdown templates, page routes, and more. We are continuing to iterate on this approach, and exploring options to enable this format in Angular applications as the future of Analog progresses.

Use Netlify if you want Edge deployment, otherwise AnalogJS is freaking amazing and solves all the problems above. Sponsor AnalogJS the project if you can give a few bucks!

Umm, ng templates look awesome! Let's get it working like a charm!

Vitest and Angular is actually already possible! Check out AnalogJs if you are interested in how it works: https://github.com/analogjs/analog

I'm thrilled to see my project (https://mockoon.com) being part of this first cohort! It's a great opportunity but it's also good for open-source projects in general. It can only contribute to make our industry more sustainable.
