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 }
