ai-minecraft-image

A JavaScript utility for converting images into Minecraft skins. This package provides functionalities to process images and generate data suitable for creating Minecraft skin textures.

Installation

bash npm install ai-minecraft-image

Usage Examples

Here are several examples demonstrating how to use the ai-minecraft-image package:

1. Basic Image Conversion:

This example demonstrates the fundamental conversion of an image file into a Minecraft skin data object. javascript const { convertImageToSkin } = require('ai-minecraft-image'); const fs = require('fs');

async function main() { try { const imagePath = 'path/to/your/image.png'; // Replace with your image path const skinData = await convertImageToSkin(imagePath);

// skinData is a Buffer representing the skin image data.
fs.writeFileSync('minecraft_skin.png', skinData); // Save the skin data to a file

console.log('Minecraft skin generated successfully!');

} catch (error) { console.error('Error generating skin:', error); } }

main();

2. Converting a Buffer Directly:

This example shows how to convert an image already loaded into a Buffer into a Minecraft skin. This is useful when the image is retrieved from a database or API. javascript const { convertBufferToSkin } = require('ai-minecraft-image'); const fs = require('fs');

async function main() { try { const imageBuffer = fs.readFileSync('path/to/your/image.png'); // Replace with your image path

const skinData = await convertBufferToSkin(imageBuffer);

// skinData is a Buffer representing the skin image data.
fs.writeFileSync('minecraft_skin.png', skinData); // Save the skin data to a file

console.log('Minecraft skin generated successfully!');

} catch (error) { console.error('Error generating skin:', error); } }

main();

3. Handling Errors:

This example includes error handling to gracefully manage potential issues during the conversion process. javascript const { convertImageToSkin } = require('ai-minecraft-image');

async function main() { try { const imagePath = 'invalid/path/to/image.png'; // Intentional invalid path const skinData = await convertImageToSkin(imagePath); console.log(skinData); // This line will not be reached if an error occurs. } catch (error) { console.error('An error occurred:', error.message); } }

main();

4. Using with Express.js:

This example demonstrates how to integrate ai-minecraft-image into an Express.js web server to dynamically generate and serve Minecraft skins. javascript const express = require('express'); const { convertImageToSkin } = require('ai-minecraft-image'); const fs = require('fs');

const app = express(); const port = 3000;

app.get('/skin', async (req, res) => { try { const imagePath = 'path/to/your/image.png'; // Replace with your image path const skinData = await convertImageToSkin(imagePath);

res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'image/png');
res.send(skinData);

} catch (error) { console.error('Error generating skin:', error); res.status(500).send('Error generating skin'); } });

app.listen(port, () => { console.log(Server listening at http://localhost:${port}); });

API Summary

• convertImageToSkin(imagePath: string): Promise<Buffer>: Converts an image from the given file path into a Minecraft skin format (PNG Buffer). Rejects if the image path is invalid or conversion fails.
• convertBufferToSkin(imageBuffer: Buffer): Promise<Buffer>: Converts an image from a Buffer into a Minecraft skin format (PNG Buffer). Rejects if the image conversion fails.
