Access Noun RLE Image Data
import { ImageData } from '@nouns/assets';
const { bgcolors, palette, images } = ImageData;
const { bodies, accessories, heads, glasses } = images;
Get Noun Part & Background Data
import { getNounData } from '@nouns/assets';
const seed = {

const { parts, background } = getNounData(seed);

Almost off-chain Noun Crystal Ball
Generate a Noun using only a block hash, which saves calls to NounSeeder and NounDescriptor contracts. This can be used for a faster crystal ball.
/**
* For you to implement:
- hook up providers with ether/web3.js
- get currently auctioned Noun Id from the NounsAuctionHouse contract
- add 1 to the current Noun Id to get the next Noun Id (named `nextNounId` below)
- get the latest block hash from your provider (named `latestBlockHash` below)
*/
import { ImageData, getNounSeedFromBlockHash, getNounData } from '@nouns/assets';
import { buildSVG } from '@nouns/sdk';
const { palette } = ImageData; // Used with `buildSVG``
/**
* OUTPUT:
{
background: 1,
body: 28,
accessory: 120,
head: 95,
glasses: 15
}
*/
const seed = getNounSeedFromBlockHash(nextNounId, latestBlockHash);
/**
* OUTPUT:
{
parts: [
{
filename: 'body-teal',

},
{

const { parts, background } = getNounData(seed);
const svgBinary = buildSVG(parts, palette, background);
const svgBase64 = btoa(svgBinary);
The Noun SVG can then be displayed. Here's a dummy example using React
function SVG({ svgBase64 }) {
return <img src={`data:image/svg+xml;base64,${svgBase64}`} />;
}
