Introduction to Asciify

Asciify is a powerful tool that allows you to convert text into ASCII art, providing an artistic flair to your textual content. Asciify is packed with various API functions that help you create stunning ASCII art with ease. In this guide, we’ll explore the different APIs, showcasing their usage with code snippets, and finally build a small application using these APIs.

Asciify APIs

1. Simple Asciify

The simpleAsciify API converts a given string into ASCII art.

  
    const asciify = require('asciify');
    asciify('Hello World', function(err, res){
      console.log(res);
    });
  

2. Asciify with font

The asciifyWithFont API allows you to specify a font for your ASCII art.

  
    asciify('Hello World', { font: 'ghost' }, function(err, res){
      console.log(res);
    });
  

3. Available Fonts

You can list all available fonts using the availableFonts API.

  
    asciify.getFonts(function(err, fonts){
      console.log(fonts);
    });
  

4. Asciify with Color

The asciifyWithColor API enables coloring of the ASCII art.

  
    asciify('Hello World', { color: 'red' }, function(err, res){
      console.log(res);
    });
  

Application Example

Let’s build a small application that takes user input from the command line and outputs it as ASCII art with a font and color of the user’s choice.

  
    const asciify = require('asciify');
    const readline = require('readline');

    const rl = readline.createInterface({
      input: process.stdin,
      output: process.stdout
    });

    rl.question('Enter text: ', (text) => {
      rl.question('Enter font: ', (font) => {
        rl.question('Enter color: ', (color) => {
          asciify(text, { font: font, color: color }, function(err, res){
            console.log(res);
            rl.close();
          });
        });
      });
    });
  

This application utilizes the readline module for taking user input and the asciify APIs to generate ASCII art based on user preferences. This demonstrates the flexibility and power of the asciify library in creating personalized ASCII art.

With Asciify, your imagination is the limit. Start creating stunning ASCII art today!
