greetings, i am asciimo


i create awesome ascii art with javascript!


i work in node.js and the browser



### font files are FIGlet .flf files http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIGlet
## USAGE

### command-line -
asciimo "roffles" Cybermedium

### node.js -
var asciimo = require('./lib/asciimo').Figlet;
var colors = require('./lib/colors'); // add colors for fun

// pick the font file
var font = 'banner';
// set text we are writeing to turn into leet ascii art
var text = "hello, i am asciimo";

asciimo.write(text, font, function(art){
console.log(art.magenta);
var anotherFont = 'binary';
var moreText = "i turn text into leet ascii art ^_^.";

asciimo.write(moreText, anotherFont, function(art){
console.log(art.red);
var anotherFont = 'Colossal';
var moreText = "400+ fonts supported";

asciimo.write(moreText, anotherFont, function(art){
console.log(art.green);
var anotherFont = 'tinker-toy';
var moreText = "Marak Squires 2010";

asciimo.write(moreText, anotherFont, function(art){
console.log(art.yellow);
console.log('if you can\'t see the text try making your console larger'.red.underline)
});

});

});

});

### browser -

// the current browser demo requires jQuery. you could easily make it work without jQuery.
// we'll have to figure out a smarter way to make this library work dual-sided.
// also, i haven't included the DOM elements here so you really should just check out the index.html file



// not used, could be implemented, maybe AJAX browser cache is good enough? do some research!
var fontCache = {};

$(document).ready(function(){

// populate the select box
for(var i = 0; i<Figlet.fontList.length; i++){
var fontTitle = Figlet.fontList[i].replace('.flf','').replace('.aol',''); // remove the file extentions for the title
$('#fontSelector').append('<option value = "'+Figlet.fontList[i]+'">'+fontTitle+'</option>');
}

// protip : understanding the following two blocks of code will make you jQuery ninja

/***** NAMED EVENTS *****/

// change the font and load a new font via jQuery async AJAX request
$(document).bind('##CHANGE_FONT##', function(e, data){
Figlet.loadFont(data.fontName, function(rsp){
$(document).trigger('##RENDER_ASCII_ART##', {font:rsp}); // the font has changed, lets call the render ascii art event
});
});

$(document).bind('##RENDER_ASCII_ART##', function(e){
Figlet.write($('#theCode').val(), $('#fontSelector').val(), function(str) {
debug.log('wrote');
$('#asciiArt').html('<pre>' + str + '</pre>');
});
});

/**** END NAMED EVENTS ****/

/**** BIND UI EVENTS ****/

// select box change
$('#fontSelector').change(function(){
$(document).trigger('##CHANGE_FONT##', {"fontName":$(this).val()})
});

// you would think jQuery.change() would cover the keypress event on select boxes?
$("#fontSelector").keypress(function (){
$(document).trigger('##CHANGE_FONT##', {"fontName":$(this).val()})
});

// keyup on textarea
$('#theCode').keyup(function(e){
$(document).trigger('##RENDER_ASCII_ART##');
});

$('#run').click(function(e){
$(document).trigger('##RENDER_ASCII_ART##');
});

/**** END UI BIND EVENTS ****/

// little bit of a onReady hack. i'll fix the API a bit so this can be done better
$(document).trigger('##CHANGE_FONT##', {"fontName":'Doh'});
$('#fontSelector').val('Doh');

});
