⭐ Vue

Using Vitepress buildEnd hook

• Example: examples/vue-vitepress ⭐⭐⭐

Using CLI

Example: playground/vue

• Dependency: Vue | Vite

$ npx x-satori --help

SYNOPSIS:
    x-satori --template <template_file_path> --config <satori_config_path> [--props <JSON>]
    x-satori --template <template_file_path> --config <satori_config_path> [--props <JSON>] --output <svg_path>

OPTIONS:
    -d|--dev                   Turn on Dev mode
       --host                  Expose  host in Dev mode
       --port     <num>        Specify port in Dev mode
    -t|--template <path>       The Vue or Astro template file path
    -c|--config   <path>       The export satori configure file path
    -o|--output   <path>       Target output SVG path
    --props       <JSON_str>   Overwrite and use props in config

EXAMPLES:
    x-satori --config "./satori.ts" --template "./Template.vue" --dev --host
    x-satori --config "./satori.ts" --template "./Template.vue"
    x-satori --config "./satori.js" --template "./Template.vue" --props '{"title": "Hello World"}'
    x-satori --config "./satori.js" --template "./Template.vue" -o image.svg

Configure

• Extends Satori options and add Vue file props option

import { defineSatoriConfig } from 'x-satori/vue'

export default defineSatoriConfig({
    // ... Satori options
    props: {
        // ...Vue SFC props options
        // title: "Hello world"
    },
})

Vue template file

• Only the template syntax is used, and props are only used for hint completion
• → Satori supports common CSS features
• → Tailwindcss documentation

<script setup lang="ts">
const props = defineProps({
  title: String,
})
</script>
<template>
  <div class="w-full h-full flex text-white bg-blue-500 items-center justify-center">
    <h1 :style="{ fontSize: '70px' }">
      {{ title }} 👋
    </h1>
  </div>
</template>

Using ESM script

• Dependency: Vue

import { defineSatoriConfig, satoriVue } from 'x-satori/vue'

function main() {
    const _DIRNAME = typeof __dirname !== 'undefined'
        ? __dirname
        : dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url))
    const _OUTPUT = resolve(_DIRNAME, './image/og.png')

    const templateStr = await readFile(resolve(_DIRNAME, './Template.vue'), 'utf8')
    const opt = defineSatoriConfig({
    // ... Satori options
        props: {
        // ...Vue SFC props options
        // title: "Hello world"
        },
    })
    const strSVG = await satoriVue(opt, templateStr)
    console.log(strSVG)
}
main()

⭐ Astro

Using Astro file-endpoints

• Example: examples/astro-file-endpoint ⭐⭐⭐
• Example: Repo - Zhengqbbb/qbb.sh

1. Install Dependencies

npm install -D x-satori @resvg/resvg-js # Convert SVG to PNG

2. Create Astro file-endpoints

If target is generate dist/og/*.png.
So that touch a file src/pages/og/[slug].png.ts

import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises'
import { type SatoriOptions, satoriAstro } from 'x-satori/astro'
import { Resvg } from '@resvg/resvg-js'
import type { APIRoute } from 'astro'
import { type CollectionEntry, getCollection } from 'astro:content';

export async function getStaticPaths() {
  const posts = await getCollection('blog');

    return posts
        .map(post => ({
            params: { slug: post.slug },
            props: { ...post },
        }));
}

async function getPostImageBuffer(props) {
        const template = await readFile(/** .astro template file */, 'utf-8')
        const config: SatoriOptions = {
            //... satori options,
            props: {
                //...astro template file props
                ...props.data,
            }
        }
        const svg = await satoriAstro(config, template)
        const resvg = new Resvg(svg)
        const pngData = resvg.render()
        return pngData.asPng()
}

export const GET: APIRoute = async ({ props }) =>
    new Response(
        await getPostImageBuffer(props as CollectionEntry<'blog'>),
        {
            headers: { 'Content-Type': 'image/png' },
        },
    )

const { title = Hello world } = Astro.props;

• Example (Advanced) - Using Shell Scripts to batch image generation with resvg-cli:
  Repo - Zhengqbbb/qbb.sh/.x-cmd/og

🎼 Command-line Advanced Usage

pipeline generate png with resvg-cli

TIP: You can install it globally or use bunx for replacement startup

npx x-satori --config "./satori.ts" --template "./Template.vue" --props '{"title": "Hello World"}' | \
    npx resvg-cli - image.png

pipeline generate webp or more edit with resvg-cli and imagemagick

TIP: You can install it globally or use bunx for replacement startup

npx x-satori --config "./satori.ts" --template "./Template.vue" --props '{"title": "Hello World"}' | \
    npx resvg-cli - | \
    magick - webp:image.webp

How it works

1. ▲ Satori is an amazing library for generating SVG strings from pure HTML and CSS.
2. Unfortunately, it is built on top of React's JSX and expects "React-elements-like objects".
3. Thanks an library natemoo-re/satori-html can to generate the necessary VDOM object from a string of HTML.
4. So the key is to convert the Vue SFC file to an HTML string, and here I used transform so that I could generate it via script (Only the template syntax is used)
   • @vue/compiler-sfc: to parse Vue SFC file
   • vue - createSSRApp and vue/server-renderer: transform HTML string
5. Astro: a similar method:
   • @astrojs/compiler: to transform .astro to ts
   • AstroContainer: renderToString to obtain HTML string

Why developed

My Weekend Pilot Project

1. This processing logic, initially used in my Vite-SSG person website qbb.sh, I prefer to run the script to generate e.g tsx gen-og.mts at my building time rather than the edge Fn
2. And personally, I think Vue SFC File would be better in expressing this SVG structure, but I only use the template syntax and props, and the css would use tailwindcss.
3. I did a experiment this weekend, using Vite HRM to improve DX, and developed a CLI so that I could run command and generated the SVG directly.

I'm happy that I finally finished this series of experiments and results this weekend.
