gifencoderv2

A republished fork of the original gifencoder package for modern Node.js and easier use in messenger bot projects.

About

This repository is maintained by Sheikh Tamim and republished from the original project at https://github.com/eugeneware/gifencoder.

The fork is intended to support newer Node.js usage scenarios and to make the package more reliable for bot integrations such as the ST BOT project.

Install

npm install gifencoderv2

Or install directly from GitHub:

npm install github:sheikhtamimlover/gitencoderv2

Usage

const GIFEncoder = require('gifencoderv2');
const { createCanvas } = require('canvas');

const width = 320;
const height = 240;
const canvas = createCanvas(width, height);
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

ctx.fillStyle = '#3498db';
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);

const encoder = new GIFEncoder(width, height);
encoder.start();
encoder.setRepeat(0);
encoder.setDelay(500);
encoder.setQuality(10);
encoder.addFrame(ctx);
encoder.finish();

const fs = require('fs');
const out = fs.createWriteStream('output.gif');
encoder.createReadStream().pipe(out);

Why this fork?

• Original package: https://github.com/eugeneware/gifencoder
• Fork maintained by: Sheikh Tamim
• Republished for newer Node.js compatibility and messenger bot use.
• Good fit for projects like ST BOT: https://github.com/sheikhtamimlover/ST-BOT

Notes for ST BOT users

If you are building a messenger bot or using the ST BOT repository, this package can help generate GIFs server-side with canvas support.
