PNG + SVG export from canvas-sketch

The helper function canvas-to-svg.js wraps a given render function (or renderer object) so that you can use Canvas2D context methods as usual, but upon single frame export (with Cmd/Ctrl + S) it will produce both a PNG and SVG file.

This uses canvas2svg which is not a perfect solution, as the Canvas2D API was never designed to be translated to SVG. Its best to stick with simple shape and path operations.

Full instructions: first install the canvas-sketch CLI if you haven't already:

npm install canvas-sketch-cli -g

let's start off with the simplest use case. we'll make an 'index.html' page, and assume we've setup our js bundler to output bundle.js

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style
