🚀 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.
yarn add @napi-rs/canvas
npm install @napi-rs/canvas

All Apple M chips on macOS.
armv7cortex-a7 or newer CPU architecture.
Since Skia relies on the glibc 2.18 API, you need to have at least glibc version >= 2.18 on your system.
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

PathKit is a toolset for manipulating Path in Skia, supporting quadratic beziers, cubic beziers and conics.
The main features are.

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.
