<script type="module" src="https://ascii.rest/ascii.js"></script>
<ascii-art piece="debian" options='{"scan":5}'></ascii-art> No install and no build step. ascii.js defines the <ascii-art> tag, loads the piece from ascii.rest, plays it while it is on screen, and holds the first frame for anyone who prefers reduced motion. Add mono, <ascii-art piece="debian" mono>, for one ink.
react
// npm install github:bas3line/ascii
import { Ascii } from "ascii.rest/react";
import { debian } from "ascii.rest/pieces";
<Ascii piece={debian} options={{"scan":5}} /> A client component, so it works in the Next.js app router as it is. Pass the name instead, piece="debian", to fetch the piece only when it mounts. Add mono for one ink.
astro
---
// npm install github:bas3line/ascii
import Ascii from "ascii.rest/astro";
---
<Ascii piece="debian" options={{"scan":5}} /> Renders the first frame on the server, so the page is whole before any script runs, then plays the piece once it loads. Add mono for one ink.
typescript
// npm install github:bas3line/ascii
import { mount } from "ascii.rest";
import { debian } from "ascii.rest/pieces";
const el = document.querySelector<HTMLCanvasElement>("canvas")!;
const stop = mount(el, debian, {"scan":5}); mount plays a piece in a <pre>, or on a <canvas> for the coloured ones, and returns a function that stops it. Every piece, option and frame is typed. Mount it in a <pre> for one ink.
/*
* debian: the Debian logo, the swirl, with a scan line running down it every
* few seconds that scrambles what it passes.
*
* Drawn from devicon's debian-original.svg (MIT): each cell holds the
* character whose shape best matches the logo's edge through it, and 8 where
* the logo is solid. On a canvas it takes the logo's colours, lifted on a dark
* page where they would sink into it; in a <pre> it is one ink, from devicon's
* debian-plain.svg (MIT). The logo is a trademark of its owner, shown here to
* name the distribution.
