I developed an API for ASCII art. This is an interactive notebook in which we'll take it for a spin --
Querying "https://asciiart-fdljfuzfva.now.sh/api/fonts" for the available fonts we can use --
await availableFonts();
Querying "https://asciiart-fdljfuzfva.now.sh/api/metadata/<font_name>" to retrieve a font's default options and header comment --
await metadata("Standard")
Querying "https://asciiart-fdljfuzfva.now.sh/api/text/<text>/font/<font_name>/hlayout/<horizontal_layout>/vlayout/<vertical_layout>" to retrieve ASCII art for text(expand the output cell to see the ASCII art) --
await asciiArt("ASCII ART", "Small Isometric1")
You can browse through all the available fonts here(expand the output cells to see the ASCII art) --
async function demoAllFonts() {
var fonts_obj = await availableFonts();
for (font of fonts_obj["fonts"]) {
var art_obj = await asciiArt("art", font);
console.log(font + "\n----\n" + art_obj["ascii_art"])
}
}
await demoAllFonts()
API wrapper --
async function availableFonts() {
return JSON.parse(await require("request-promise")("https://asciiart-fdljfuzfva.now.sh/api/fonts"));
};
async function metadata(font_name) {
return JSON.parse(await require("request-promise")("https://asciiart-fdljfuzfva.now.sh/api/metadata/" + font_name));
};
async function asciiArt(text, font_name = "Standard", horizontal_layout = "default", vertical_layout = "default") {
return JSON.parse(await require("request-promise")("https://asciiart-fdljfuzfva.now.sh/api/text/" + text + "/font/" + font_name + "/hlayout/" + horizontal_layout + "/vlayout/" + vertical_layout));
};
module.exports = {
availableFonts: availableFonts,
metadata: metadata,
asciiArt: asciiArt,
};
