Installation

1. Copy the contents of this repository into a directory called themes/fractal-forest under the root of your After Dark site.

2. Add fractal-forest as a theme component to your After Dark site config.toml, e.g.

   theme = [
     "fractal-forest",
     "after-dark"
   ]
   

3. Add and specify settings for the module in your After Dark site config, e.g.

   [params.modules.fractal_forest]
     enabled = true # Optional, set false to disable module
     decoders = [
       "bpgdec8", # 8-bit only javascript decoder without animation
       "bpgdec", # > 8-bit javascript decoder without animation
       "bpgdec8a" # 8-bit javascript decoder with animation
     ]
     crossorigin = "anonymous" # Optional, sets CORS attribute
   

4. Build and deploy your After Dark site.

For additional information please see BPG Image format.

Development

For development, install Docker on your machine:

• Get started with Docker for Mac
• Get started with Docker for Windows

Then build the codecs with docker build.

To adjust the version of bpg used simply modify LIBBPG_VERSION in the Dockerfile for desired version and rebuild. If you're on a multicore system adjust CPU_CORES to decrease compilation time.

Docker build produces an intermediate container image with libbpg source and result of compilation. It also copyies the codecs into a busybox image.

To access the full libbpg source run:

$ docker run -it 30c982469f98

Where 30c982469f98 is the image id of the intermediate step.

To access just the codecs run:

$ docker run -it 712e9ce47e86

Where 712e9ce47e86 is the image id of the final build step.

To update the javascript decoders in static/js/bpg run:

$ docker run --rm --entrypoint tar 712e9ce47e86 cC /var/www/ . | tar xvC static/js

Where 712e9ce47e86 is the image id of the final build step.

Reference the libbpg mirror for additional compilation settings, README and Makefile. See the Docker Documentation for help with Docker.
