<script type="module" src="https://ascii.rest/ascii.js"></script>
<ascii-art piece="elixir" options='{"shine":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="elixir" mono>, for one ink.
react
// npm install github:bas3line/ascii
import { Ascii } from "ascii.rest/react";
import { elixir } from "ascii.rest/pieces";
<Ascii piece={elixir} options={{"shine":5}} /> A client component, so it works in the Next.js app router as it is. Pass the name instead, piece="elixir", 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="elixir" options={{"shine":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 { elixir } from "ascii.rest/pieces";
const el = document.querySelector<HTMLCanvasElement>("canvas")!;
const stop = mount(el, elixir, {"shine":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.
/*
* elixir: the Elixir logo, a purple drop, with a glint crossing it every few
* seconds.
*
* Drawn from devicon's elixir-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 the same
* drawing. The logo is a trademark of its owner, shown here to name the
* language.
