skr canvas
🚀 Help me to become a full-time open-source developer by sponsoring me on Github
Google Skia binding to Node.js via Node-API, 0 System dependencies!
⚠️ This project is in pre-release stage. And there may be some bugs.
For details on planned features and future direction please refer to the Roadmap.
Install
yarn add @napi-rs/canvas
npm install @napi-rs/canvasSupport matrix
System requirement
arm64
cortex-a57 or newer CPU architecture on Linux.
All Apple M chips on macOS.
armv7
cortex-a7 or newer CPU architecture.
glibc
Since Skia relies on the glibc 2.18 API, you need to have at least glibc version >= 2.18 on your system.
AWS Lambda usage
To use this library on Lambda you will need to use a Lambda layer.
You can simply attach a lambda layer by getting an ARN from Canvas-Lambda-Layer
Make sure to exclude
@napi-rs/canvaswhile bundling your Lambda.
Usage
const { promises } = require('node:fs')
const { join } = require('node:path')
const { createCanvas, loadImage } = require('@napi-rs/canvas')
const canvas = createCanvas(300, 320)
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d')
ctx.lineWidth = 10
ctx.strokeStyle = '#03a9f4'
ctx.fillStyle = '#03a9f4'
// Wall
ctx.strokeRect(75, 140, 150, 110)
// Door
ctx.fillRect(130, 190, 40, 60)
// Roof
ctx.beginPath()
ctx.moveTo(50, 140)
ctx.lineTo(150, 60)
ctx.lineTo(250, 140)
ctx.closePath()
ctx.stroke()
async function main() {
// load images from disk or from a URL
const catImage = await loadImage('path/to/cat.png')
const dogImage = await loadImage('https://example.com/path/to/dog.jpg')
ctx.drawImage(catImage, 0, 0, catImage.width, catImage.height)
ctx.drawImage(dogImage, canvas.width / 2, canvas.height / 2, dogImage.width, dogImage.height)
// export canvas as image
const pngData = await canvas.encode('png') // JPEG, AVIF and WebP are also supported
// encoding in libuv thread pool, non-blocking
await promises.writeFile(join(__dirname, 'simple.png'), pngData)
}
main()
Emoji text
const { writeFileSync } = require('fs')
const { join } = require('path')
const { createCanvas, GlobalFonts } = require('@napi-rs/canvas')
GlobalFonts.registerFromPath(join(__dirname, '..', 'fonts', 'AppleColorEmoji@2x.ttf'), 'Apple Emoji')
GlobalFonts.registerFromPath(join(__dirname, '..', '__test__', 'fonts', 'COLRv1.ttf'), 'COLRv1')
console.info(GlobalFonts.families)
const canvas = createCanvas(760, 360)
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d')
ctx.font = '50px Apple Emoji'
ctx.strokeText('😀😃😄😁😆😅😂🤣☺️😊😊😇', 50, 150)
ctx.font = '100px COLRv1'
ctx.fillText('abc', 50, 300)
const b = canvas.toBuffer('image/png')
writeFileSync(join(__dirname, 'draw-emoji.png'), b)

PathKit is a toolset for manipulating Path in Skia, supporting quadratic beziers, cubic beziers and conics.
The main features are.
Path Operation
.op(path, PathOp)
const pathOne = new Path2D(

- Difference, intersect the two paths
- ReverseDifference, union (inclusive-or) the two paths
- Intersect, exclusive-or the two paths
- XOR, subtract the first path from the op path
Covert FillType in Path
.asWinding()
You can convert fill-rule="evenodd" to fill-rule="nonzero" in SVG.
This is useful for OpenType font-related tools, as fill-rule="nonzero" is only supported in OpenType fonts.

.simplify()
Set the path to the same non-overlapping contour as the original path area, which means that it can also remove overlapping paths.
