html

<script type="module" src="https://ascii.rest/ascii.js"></script>

<ascii-art piece="manjaro" 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="manjaro" mono>, for one ink.

react

// npm install github:bas3line/ascii
import { Ascii } from "ascii.rest/react";
import { manjaro } from "ascii.rest/pieces";

<Ascii piece={manjaro} options={{"scan":5}} />

A client component, so it works in the Next.js app router as it is. Pass the name instead, piece="manjaro", 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="manjaro" 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 { manjaro } from "ascii.rest/pieces";

const el = document.querySelector<HTMLCanvasElement>("canvas")!;
const stop = mount(el, manjaro, {"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.

[js] [github] 
/*
 * manjaro: the Manjaro logo, three green blocks, with a scan line running down
 * it every few seconds that scrambles what it passes.
 *
 * Drawn from Simple Icons' manjaro.svg (CC0): 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 distribution.
