Monkeysee

A drop-in library for adding face-controlled mouse pointers with computer vision via BRFv4 🙈

Scripts

With Yarn...

yarn init  # To update the package with your own labels
yarn       # and yarn --only=dev if you have a global NODE_ENV=production, the default on Windows.
yarn dev   # Development mode with SASS, templates, and hot-reload on localhost:8080
yarn build # Build the library

...or with NPM

npm init       # To update the package with your own labels
npm install    # and npm install --only=dev if you have a global NODE_ENV=production, the default on Windows.
npm run dev    # Development mode with SASS, templates, and hot-reload on localhost:8080
npm run build  # Build the library

Development

The actual library is built with /src/main.js as the starting point. When people npm install monkeysee and import monkeysee from 'monkeysee', they'll be loading this file.

The /sandbox/ scripts are used when developing with yarn dev and are there to help you in developing your library (/src/main.js). Your library and /sandbox/index.js are automatically injected into /sandbox/index.pug. When you run yarn build, these files are included in the /dist/ folder which allows you to quickly deploy examples with your library!

Usage

Config

You can instatiate MonkeySee with the following config (defaults are shown):

const monkeysee = new MonkeySee({
  // Whether to show the debugger or not
  debug: false
})

API

// Starts tracking faces and shows the webcam if debug is on
monkeysee.start()
// Stops the webcam
monkeysee.stop()
// Toggle between start/stop (null), or explicitly set it to on (true) or off (false)
monkeysee.toggle(true|false|null)

// Toggles the debugger on (true), off (false), or flips the state (null)
monkeysee.toggleDebugger(true|false|null)

Debugging

The debugger is loaded into the first element in the DOM with the .monkeysee-debug-wrap. If one doesn't exist, then it's added as the last root element of body.

Plugins

MonkeySee is built around a plugin architecture, which allows us to easily add and share functionality. We can even disable them!

To add a plugin, use the monkeysee.use({}) method with the following form:

monkeysee.use({
  name: '',
  // Called once when the use method is called and after the plugin is added to the instance
  onUse: () => {},
  // Called once per frame, after calculations, along with the detected face object
  onFrame: face => {}
})
