Placeholder Image Generator

Generate customizable placeholder images easily with PlaceholderImageGenerator.

Usage

import PlaceholderImageGenerator from 'enhanced-placeholder-image-generator';

// Create an instance of PlaceholderImageGenerator
const generator = new PlaceholderImageGenerator();

// Set properties (optional, adjust as needed)
generator.setDimensions(500, 500)
         .setBackgroundColor('#FFDDC1')
         .setTextColor('#333333')
         .setFont('40px Arial')
         .setText('Hello World')
         .setBorderColor('#000000')
         .setBorderWidth(5)
         .setTextPosition(250, 250)
         .setImageQuality(0.95);

// Save the image
generator.saveImageAsync('jpeg', 'output-image.jpeg')
    .then((message) => {
        console.log(message);
    })
    .catch((err) => {
        console.error('Error saving image:', err.message);
    });

// Delete the image (optional)
generator.deleteImageAsync('output-image.jpeg')
    .then((message) => {
        console.log(message);
    })
    .catch((err) => {
        console.error('Error deleting image:', err.message);
    });

// Draw shapes
generator.drawCircle(250, 250, 50, '#FF0000');
generator.drawRectangle(50, 50, 100, 200, '#00FF00');
generator.drawOval(150, 150, 50, 100, '#0000FF');
generator.drawTriangle(100, 100, 150, 200, 50, 200, '#FFFF00');
generator.drawPolygon([[300, 100], [350, 150], [300, 200], [250, 150]], '#FF00FF');

// Generate the image (needed to save or display the image)
generator.draw();  // Ensure the image is drawn before saving
