This generator is inteded to be deployed to and utilised via the Make.cm "media generation API".
It is based on the Make Hello World Starter Template (React)
A reference deployment is available at https://app.make.cm/templates/ba4c9684-a7af-4ca3-b929-291d6c196be3 . If you don't have access, request it from a current member such as dancer@digital8.com.au
This generator supports the following parameters:
text: string (word[s] to appear on tile)font: string (absolute, public URL to .woff2/.woff/.ttf/.otf) (preferably .woff2)background: string (hex-formatted background color) (e.g. #C0FFEE)colors: string[] (foreground colors of word[s] to appear on tile) (e.g. ["#ACAC1A", "#FACADE"])
n.b. Make.cm parameters are url-encoded and must be nested under the root key of data.
Advanced options are available and can be discovered by referring to the source-code itself. qs (or similar) can be utilised for encoding.
In the reference deployment, synchronous GET requests can be performed against the endpoint available at https://cdn.make.cm/make/t/ba4c9684-a7af-4ca3-b929-291d6c196be3/k/639f5a8a-3056-48ff-bc67-c7613b9ecdca.b6d6a70ce98c5defcbc0282c9660dbc9/sync
Whilst Make.cm can be utilised to generate any supported format, two "short URLs" are available in the reference deployment.
In the reference deployment, both "short URLs" lock the "size" of the generated asset to 512x512px.
This is the primary mode of generation. SVGs can be embedded directly in the web-facing application via 
This is the secondary mode of generation as is intended only for generating a production-ready asset for printing.
Due to technicalities on how Make.cm renders text within PDFs, this mode utilises two passes.
The passes are performed in serial, to perform the appropriate generation to PDF.
That is, PDF generation consumes two credits per generation.
Install all necessary dependencies yarn install
Run yarn start for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:3000/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.
Run yarn build to build the project with correct resource pathing for the sake of deploying to make.
The build artifacts will be stored in the /build directory.
When importing into Make be sure to import from the /build folder.
