Access to the (fake) FileSystem in WEB Applications

[z3dev]

Here's something for those wanting 'more' from JSCAD designs.

The 'fs' (File System) module is available to designs, both NODE.js and WEB versions.

const fs = require('fs')

The WEB versions is not 100% compatible, but it can provide access to other data. For example, fonts can be added to the contents of a JSCAD project. And the font can be read via the 'fs' module.

const data = fs.readFileSync('project_text/Osaka.ttf')

And used with the jscad-text project, outlines of characters can be created very easily.

const {primitives} = require('@jscad/modeling')

const { loadFontFromData, textToPaths } = require('./jscad-text')

const fs = require('fs')

const main = (params) => {
  const data = fs.readFileSync('project_text/Osaka.ttf')

  const font = loadFontFromData(data)

  const paths = textToPaths({font, segments: 144}, 'JSCAD!　大好きです!')

  return paths
}

module.exports = { main }
