deno-canvas

Canvas API for Deno, ported from canvaskit-wasm (Skia).

Installation

Import from https://deno.land/x/canvas/mod.ts or just import from raw GitHub URL, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DjDeveloperr/deno-canvas/master/mod.ts.

Usage

mod.ts provides a default export exposing the complete CanvasKit API, and other exports from the file are types and utility functions.

import { createCanvas } from "https://deno.land/x/canvas/mod.ts";

const canvas = createCanvas(200, 200);
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");

ctx.fillStyle = "red";
ctx.fillRect(10, 10, 200 - 20, 200 - 20);

await Deno.writeFile("image.png", canvas.toBuffer());

And run with deno run --allow-write filename.ts.

You can also try this HTTP server example, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DjDeveloperr/deno-canvas/master/examples/square.ts

For using images, use loadImage method exported from mod.ts.

const image = await loadImage(myURL);
ctx.drawImage(image, x, y);

Limitations

Just like original canvaskit-wasm, the emulated Canvas has some limitations:

• measureText returns width only and does no shaping. It is only sort of valid with ASCII letters.
• textAlign is not supported.
• textBaseAlign is not supported.
• fillText does not support the width parameter.
